# Bespoke Luxury Sedans Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Honors Lebron James Through Custom Detailing By Amy Duong | Published 2026-08-17 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesmaybach-s-680 References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/mercedesmaybach/)  The Mercedes-Maybach S 680 has been reimagined through the [MANUFAKTUR Made to Measure program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulliner) as a pair of bespoke luxury sedans created in collaboration with LeBron James. Unveiled at Pebble Beach, the two nearly identical vehicles feature a MANUFAKTUR Light Ivory exterior paired with a Stormy Weather blue Nappa leather interior finished with porcelain contrast stitching. A bespoke crown emblem replaces the traditional V12 badge for the first time on a Maybach, while custom cushions, headrests and floor mats incorporate James' personal branding. Engraved coordinates referencing Akron, Ohio, are integrated throughout the design as a tribute to his hometown. One vehicle joins James' personal collection, while the second will be auctioned to benefit the LeBron James Family Foundation. The project highlights the capabilities of Mercedes-Maybach's [bespoke commissioning program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overfinch-holland-holland-bespoke-commission) through individualized materials, finishes and handcrafted details. Personalized exterior badging, exclusive interior trim and community-inspired engravings distinguish the pair from standard production models while preserving the [flagship sedan's luxury-focused architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-mercedesbenz-sclass).
