If you think luxury is about blending in, the Mercedes-Maybach S 580 Night Edition is here to change your perspective. This Japanese special is all set to turn heads and drop jaws.
As of June 18, 2024, Mercedes has unveiled an opulent masterpiece that's strictly limited to just 30 units in Japan. If the applications exceed this number, brace yourselves for a lottery to determine the fortunate few who'll drive away in this ultra-luxury sedan.
Let's dive into the details. Firstly, the vehicle’s irresistible charm begins with its exterior—a stunning two-tone combination of Onyx Black and Mojave Silver. In addition, Mercedes-Maybach has sprinkled dark rose gold accents to elements like the front grille, front air intake shrouds, door handles, and even a strip on the rocker panels. These subtle yet rich touches of rose gold continue around the rear, adorning the tailpipes and trimming the rear bumper, giving the car a look of distinctive elegance.
Wheels that Truly Stand Out
When it comes to wheels, the S 580 Night Edition doesn’t hold back. The model boasts 20-inch aluminum rims that feature seven prominent spokes, with a myriad of tiny Maybach emblems nestled between them. Although this could easily veer into tacky territory on other vehicles, it harmonizes perfectly with the grandeur of this Maybach, adding to its exclusiveness.
An Interior Fit for Royalty
The interior is where the Maybach S 580 Night Edition elevates luxury to another level. Mercedes-Maybach has decked out the cabin with rich, white leather covering the seats, door panels, the center console, and even the transmission tunnel. The luxurious feel extends to the piano black console situated below the infotainment screen, which is adorned with tiny Maybach emblems, adding a touch of understated opulence. Even the car key gets a makeover, featuring the same dark rose gold finish found on the exterior accents.

Under the Hood
Powering this luxury beast is the same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in the standard Maybach S 580. This powerhouse, paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, churns out a robust 496 hp, driving all four wheels to deliver a seamless blend of power and grace.
Exclusivity at its Finest
As previously mentioned, only 30 units of this exclusive model will be manufactured. Given its limited run, the demand is expected to exceed supply, and Mercedes plans to conduct a lottery to determine the lucky 30 owners. The pricing starts at 44 million yen, which is roughly $279,000, a price tag that underscores its exclusivity. First deliveries are scheduled for next month, and it’s safe to say that this new addition to the Maybach lineup is already becoming the talk of the town among automotive aficionados and high-rollers alike.
