A little more than 5000 miles separates Ireland and the west coast of California, but Mercedes merges the two in its latest custom-curated Maybach S-class. The Mercedes-Maybach S680 Emerald Isle may be named after the North Atlantic island of verdant green fields, whisky, and leprechauns, but its maker says California’s Central Coast inspired the car.Mercedes-MaybachMercedes-MaybachMaybach: Made for Royalty The car is finished in two Manufaktur colors: Mid Ireland green metallic over Moonlight white metallic. The four-seat interior is slathered in light brown nappa leather, with quilted-stitched black leather on the ceiling.
