Geneva 2015: Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Pulls Up To The Bumper
Though the festivities have truly yet to begin, a few images and details from the 2015 Geneva Auto Show are coming out from behind the curtain. First up: the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman.
The big daddy of all Mercedes-based limos, the Pullman is a full 3.5 feet longer than the standard S-Class, big enough to accommodate four standard seats facing each other in the back. Other configurations are available if you need more room for groupies and/or dignitaries and/or ultra-alpha Wall Street types, however.
Power for the Pullman comes from a twin-turbo V12 delivering 523 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque, though ‘Ring times aren’t this limo’s raison d’être. Aside from emphasizing luxury over everything else, it can also be had with body armor for those whose stations in life merit extra protection, and the aforementioned seats are positioned so the adoring (or blood-thirsty) public cannot see who’s inside.
As for the price, the S600 Pullman will move for $500,000 to $600,000 sans said body armor.

The biggest hurtle still remains: smuggling or middle-manning these beasts in order to bypass UN sanctions and get them into the arms of eagerly awaiting dictators.
I suddenly feel the urge to become a dictator.
Makes the S550 look like a bargain! The S550 has an awesome interior and an awesome engine! Too each his own! Too bad many of the people who enjoy these cars are corrupt and sick! Although I could say the same about many cars!
