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.
