Released as a 2021 model, the Brabus 850 is an exclusive iteration of the Mercedes-Maybach S 680, which itself is one of the most luxurious sedans in the Mercedes lineup. Brabus not only upgrades its engine but also fine-tunes its suspension, spruces up its interior, and enhances its exterior with bold, distinctive styling cues. The burning question is: does the Brabus 850 offer a genuine, engaging driving experience, or is it another glorified showpiece? Let’s find out.
On the road, the Brabus 850 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 may lack the performance drama of hardcore sports cars. However, it offers something far more fitting for its gracious stature: controlled, effortless acceleration. Under the hood, it features a re-engineered 6.3-liter V12 engine, an upgrade from the base model’s 6.0-liter V12 engine. With upgraded turbochargers and fine-tuning, Brabus has coaxed 850 horsepower and 1,069 lb-ft of torque. While this sedan can go from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, Brabus has deliberately limited top speed of 155 mph to ensure reliable composure even at high speeds.
While the Brabus 850 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 doesn’t break new ground in radical design, it has a level of interior craftsmanship that leaves no doubt about its luxury lineage. Hand-stitched leather wraps nearly every surface, while finely crafted carbon fiber and Alcantara accents provide a modern, sporty edge. The Brabus 850 adds unique flair with custom-embroidered logos, backlit “Brabus Masterpiece” badging, and illuminated door sills. The rear cabin, as expected of a Maybach, is where this car truly shines. Designed with chauffeured luxury in mind, the seats offer fully reclining positions, massage functions, and individualized climate controls. Brabus raises the bar with its “Executive Lounge” package, featuring motorized fold-out tables, integrated 4K screens, and even a refrigerated compartment to keep beverages perfectly chilled.
At just over 18 feet long and with a stately presence, you’d struggle to call the Brabus 850 subtle. This sedan announces its Brabus aesthetic at every turn, starting with its aggressively styled carbon fiber accents, front grille, and signature Brabus aerodynamic enhancements. The rear diffuser adds a lively edge to the vehicle’s regal stance, while the custom Brabus Monoblock wheels elevate the overall design and highlight this luxury sedan’s sportiness.
The Brabus 850 inherits the state-of-the-art MBUX infotainment system from the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 but with exclusive Brabus enhancements. The twin 12.3-inch displays feature custom graphics and interfaces tailored to match the car’s elevated status. Rear-seat passengers also benefit from entertainment screens, wireless charging ports, and a premium Burmester 4D sound system, one of the most advanced in-car audio systems available today. The car’s suite of advanced driver-assistance systems has also been fine-tuned for smoother operation. From adaptive cruise control to lane-keeping assistance, the tech in place ensures maximum safety and convenience.
Cars like the Brabus 850 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 are produced in extremely limited numbers, ensuring exclusivity. Purchasing one will set you back around $500,000. While the standard Maybach S 680 offers a compelling package at a significantly lower cost, the Brabus 850 delivers an entirely different level of performance and personalization.

All is not lost if the extraordinary power, engaging driving experience, top-tier luxury touches, and advanced tech still fall short of your vision for a truly one-of-a-kind statement of prestige.
