Mercedes-Benz S 600 Guard Pullman
The security division of Mercedes-Benz is an anniversary, celebrating this time eighty years since the introduction of its first armored vehicle. The mark of the star has taken this opportunity to introduce the S 600 Guard Pullman, whose use is primarily focused on heads of state, royalty and leaders of large companies.
The creation of a limousine is not as simple as adding a section in the center of the car for longer and less in the event of an armored vehicle. Although it is based on the S 600, while its suspension as structural elements had to be reviewed to ensure both the integrity and stability of the whole.

Obviously the wheelbase has been extended, in this case up to 4315 mm, 1150 mm more than the longest of Class S. A total length of 6356 mm provides a high degree of comfort to its occupants, who have all kinds of entertainment and communication systems. As is traditional in the rear can accommodate four occupants, in a provision of 2 2 with the seats facing.
For its flagship vehicles as far as security is concerned, Mercedes has decided to mount its twelve-cylinder engine with an engine capacity of 5513 cubic centimeters, which is coupled two turbos to get a power output of 517 hp and a torque motor of 830 Nm.

The buyer can choose between two distinct security levels: high and maximum.

The high level of security offered defense against large-caliber revolvers, with especially good in the protection against the growing threat of drug-related crime and street violence. All cars within this group met the resistance level B4 Europe.
The maximum level of protection is cataloged in the European resistance level B6/B7 being effective in protecting against terrorist attacks. This is adequate armor against ammunition from military rifles, reaching almost twice the speed of bullets from a revolver. It also provides excellent protection against shrapnel from hand grenades and explosive charges.

Mercedes GLK’s

Mercedes GLK’s preparations for the EMS
The EMS will see the light of at least four preparations on the steep Mercedes SUV, the GLK. The American concentration to be held in November will see four firms struggling to highlight their work on the German model, although there is a tradition that at least deserves an honorable mention.
Brabus kit offers an aggressive but cultivated, with their traditional alloy wheels in star larger emphasis on the whole. The front deserves a mention for his great opening to the passage of air, ready in three stages, and its LED daytime running lights (like the Porsche 911 Carrera). In a display of originality, about 300 GLK BlueTec of departure have added some inlets side quite marked. In the absence of more data, we will have to imagine a game and trailed to a modification of the engine quite important.

Customs Boulevard offers a clear vision coarser called Four Corners Rock Crawler. The voluminous effect that creates the relief of the defense adjusts well to the wheel geometry, in extreme cases also by the effect of the grill rack with cross bars without. I find it particularly "very square" (speaking in silver), except for its "wheel truck" 26 "in diameter.
Urban Whip (urban scourge) is the name of the preparation of the Legendary Motor Cars and one might say that is the most range of all the preparations. High-profile tires on wheels more opaque, a structure of protective anti bars at the front or four extra lights on the ceiling "light up" to this preparation.

The last gem the other represents RENNtech with no-name version. It is balanced and apparently the lowest of all. It combines a clear tone brown with red claws visible on the brakes. Tires multiradiales more about sports and gills at the height of the pillar A fairly supine.
You may see some new surprise, perhaps, to bring a little more order to force.

Mercedes SL by Lorinser

On the Mercedes SL, which recently underwent a major face washing aesthetic, Lorinser has prepared a glossy kit that extols the aggressive attitude of this two-seater convertible.
The change is particularly interesting in the front, where even the star disappears classic Mercedes in favor of the logo of Lorinser mate. In general across the front becomes more beaked, thanks to a more sporty spoiler and a channel of air more pronounced. On the side footrest marked with a double notch to match the broad front gills.

The alloy wheels combine in view of the profile are "brand" of the house like the quad exhaust nozzle installed in the rear, that does not detract being this model (in other sports cars is no less so). The last retouch was in the hands of the wide diffuser in the form of inverted wedge.

Lorinser is working to offer an amendment to the various engines of the SL but has not offered any information. Within this range we could find a pleasant surprise on the SL 53 AMG.
