Here’s a full breakdown of what is known today about the 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 680, plus a focused case for why registering a vehicle like that in Montana via a Montana LLC (and using MontanaTags.com) can be very advantageous.

What We Know: 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 680
Here are the key specs, features, and positioning for the new model:
Powertrain & Performance
• The S 680 is powered by a handcrafted 6.0 L V12 biturbo engine.
• Output is in the ballpark of 621 horsepower and 664 lb-ft (or lb·ft) of torque (varies slightly depending on region)
• The drivetrain is coupled with a 9-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
• Full-time 4MATIC all-wheel drive is standard, sending torque to all four wheels
• Suspension and ride control are high-end, with AIRMATIC suspension (air suspension), adaptive damping, and advanced chassis control systems.
• Rear-axle steering (standard 10°, optional 4.5°) helps with maneuverability despite the car’s size.
Design, Luxury & Technology
• As a Maybach variant, the S 680 will emphasize the uppermost luxury in finish, materials, and customization. It carries distinctive Maybach badging, grille, exterior details, and a focus on quieter, more refined drive dynamics.
• Two-tone paint options, high-end trim, bespoke interior details, and advanced handcrafting are expected (as is typical in Maybach models).
• In terms of space, in markets like Canada, specs indicate: five-passenger capacity (though in many Maybachs, optional “four-passenger” executive rear seating may be offered)
• Interior dimensions (for the Canadian spec) include: front headroom ~999 mm, rear headroom 970 mm, shoulder widths ~1,592 mm front / 1,558 mm rear, and cargo capacity of ~495 L.
Positioning & Significance
• The S 680 is the flagship “top-of-the-line” Maybach S-Class model, meant to represent the pinnacle of what Mercedes-Maybach can deliver in terms of performance, presence, and opulence.
• It upholds the tradition of V12 exclusivity — Mercedes often reserves its most powerful engines for its most premium lines.
• With the combination of performance, all-wheel drive, luxury features, and exclusivity, it is not only a statement of wealth but also of technical capability and craftsmanship.
In short: it will be one of the most desirable (and expensive) luxury sedans available in 2026, bridging high performance and ultra-luxury.

Why Register a Vehicle Like This Under a Montana LLC (Even If You Live Elsewhere)
Registering such a high-value luxury car, especially one with limited production or high import cost, through a Montana LLC offers a set of advantages that many owners find compelling. Below are the benefits (and why they make sense for a car like the 2026 Maybach S 680):
Benefit What It Means for a High-End Vehicle Why It Matters
-No sales tax / big tax savings Montana has no general state sales tax. By registering the car in Montana, you can avoid paying sales tax that you might otherwise owe in your resident state. On a vehicle costing several hundred thousand dollars (or more), the tax savings can easily run into tens of thousands.
-Lower or no annual personal property tax Many states levy annual taxes on luxury vehicles’ value. Montana’s structure can help minimize or avoid some of those recurring costs. Over the life of ownership, these savings accumulate—reducing the total cost of ownership.
-Permanent / lifetime plates & no renewals Some states allow permanent registration (i.e. lifetime or multi-year) under LLC setups. Avoiding yearly renewals, inspections, or DMV visits is especially valuable when managing exotic or specialty vehicles.
-Privacy / anonymity & asset protection When the vehicle is titled to the LLC (rather than your personal name), your identity is less publicly tied to ownership. The LLC also helps separate personal and vehicle assets from legal exposure. High-end cars attract attention; for privacy, legal protection, and reduced exposure, this structure can help buffer risk.
-No emissions or safety inspections (in many cases) Montana does not enforce many of the inspections or emissions testing that states like California or New York do. Less hassle, less risk that your car is noncompliant, and fewer surprises if the vehicle is imported or moved cross-state.
-Streamlined titling and experience with nonresidents Montana’s DMV (and those who specialize in Montana vehicle LLCs) are accustomed to working with out-of-state owners and exotic vehicles. That means fewer bureaucratic roadblocks, easier paperwork, and more predictable processing for rare or custom vehicles.
-Portability & flexibility across states Because the car is registered in Montana, you can keep it legal and move it between states without re-titling in every jurisdiction (though you must obey local registration laws where applicable). Useful for owners who travel frequently, cross state lines, or reside temporarily in different locations.
Given how expensive, exotic, and exclusive a car like the 2026 Maybach S 680 will be, avoiding extra costs and complications becomes even more critical. The more you can eliminate “leaks” in your cost through smart registration, the more you preserve the value and enjoyment of the car itself.
