Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard

The Mercedes-Benz special-protection unit marks its 80th anniversary with the launch of the new S 600 Pullman Guard state limousine.

Mercedes-Benz is proud to present a prestigious new luxury limousine for use by government leaders, captains of industry and royalty – the S 600 Pullman Guard with integrated Highest Protection.

The latest in a long and unique tradition of large, armored, prestige limousines from the world’s oldest automaker, this model also marks a special anniversary for the Stuttgart-based firm: 80 years of manufacturing vehicles with factory-integrated special protection.

The very first Mercedes-Benz car to be built with factory-integrated special protection was a Pullman limousine version of the “Nürburg” 460 (W08) series which was introduced in 1928. At the beginning of the 1930s, this was followed by the 770 (W07) “Grand Mercedes” (which provided protection befitting the status of Japanese Emperor Hirohito, to name but one prominent user) as well as by the special-protection variants of the 500 (W08) and 770 (W 150) model series. In the 1960s, the legendary Mercedes-Benz 600 took on the mantle of state limousine for a period of almost thirty years which saw it serve as an official vehicle not only for the German government, but also for many other countries’ leaders and ruling houses. Further special-protection Pullman versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Guard followed their distinguished predecessors – the very latest being the new S 600 Pullman Guard.

Like the famously luxurious and spacious open-plan Pullman railway coaches after which it is named, the new S 600 Pullman Guard treats its occupants to a travelling environment characterised by generous accommodation and the highest comfort. The vehicle owes its remarkably spacious interior to its 4315-millimetre wheelbase (115 centimetres longer than that of the long version of the special-protection S-Class). Indeed, with an overall length of 6356 millimetres, the S 600 Pullman Guard is a vehicle of truly majestic proportions which offers its passengers not only a maximum of comfort, but also a superbly appointed setting for discreet meetings, equipped, of course, with all the key communications and entertainment systems. This ensures they are always able to remain fully in touch with the rest of the world while enjoying the luxury and comfort of their own very special place in it.

I have an S550 and it's an awesome car, the benchmark luxury sedan BUT it's still not as comfortable as the Maybach 62 seats. The attention to detail and luxurious cabin can't be compared to an S although they are cousins.

Yes! they might as well. Lexus already copied Maybach with their rear seats. Heck! they might as well make an LS600HL Pullman Guard!

Right.

All important people need one with so many neurologically deficient people running around. I'd like to buy that one at a government auction when Obama is done with it 8 years down the road.

Before the politically correct police arrest kpaxx, don't you guys realize that the presidential limo has been a Cadillac for over three decades now? (More like Cadillac DTS grill and trunk grafted on to a tank.) I think that is what he was referring to.

No American president would ride in a foreign car -- it would be political suicide.

All I know is that I hope this country makes a turn for the better regardless who becomes president, Im so tired of hearing people complain when half of these folks arent even registered to vote in the first place. After 8 years of Bush, the Democratic ticket makes sense to me but at least people are paying more attention to politics in this country
