LeBron James unveils custom Mercedes-Maybach for charity auction

NBA star LeBron James has unveiled a custom Mercedes-Maybach S 680, created through the brand’s Manufaktur Made to Measure program. The vehicle is a near-identical twin to James’s personal car and is set to debut at Monterey Car Week.

The bespoke luxury sedan features an ivory exterior and a cabin upholstered in Stormy Weather Nappa leather with white stitching and Black Piano Lacquer trim. Personal touches include “LJ” emblems on the headrests, mats, and vents, as well as engravings of the GPS coordinates for Akron, Ohio, and the birth dates of James’s three children.

Under the hood, the S 680 is equipped with a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine producing 630 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Following its public display, the car will be auctioned to benefit the LeBron James Family Foundation and its educational initiatives.
