And it is still in the business – recently the team has revealed a machine that symbolizes the absolute top of enginers’ capabilities: the Pullman. It is a massive, powerful and excuisite reading of what a vehicle can achieve in terms of luxury. So, let’s check it out!

    Exterior design

    It is instantly recognizable: with well-known design features and with a length of 6.50 meters, this is a vehicle that remains unmistakable. There is a revised grille, however: with vertical struts and resembling Maybach 6, it adds confidence and style to the whole design concept. The massiveness of the vehicle is furthrer accentrured by the 20-inch wheels in 10-hole design. When you think about it, these classics are just the right ones for this kind of ride. And for more personalized appearance, Maybach team offers numerous two-tone color schemes for the body finish. Sweet.

    The cabin welcomes everyone to a place where there is nothing else, except relaxation and comfort. The lucky occupants can sit on two exclusive seats that face the direction of travel and can religh by far the longest legroom that is ever presented in a Maybach machine. However, the interior is designed for four people – they sit facing each other and can relish the good ride, via an electrically operated partition. The cabin also features new audio system that contributes to more exclusivity and luxury.

    This vehicle is designed to deliver the smoothest and most pleasurable ride possible. Therefore, it is geared with a powerful, yet not that punchy and race-oriented engine. It is a V12 biturbo unit that provides a total of 630hp (463Nm) and 1000Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in mere 6.5 seconds and has a pretty big appetite for fuel: it consumes a total of 14 liters per 100km. However, we all do know that such a machine is not created for fuel efficiency, right?

  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman [leak images]

    Telegraaf has published several leak images of the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman. The super-luxurious limousine will be the top-of-range model and will obviously substitute the famous Maybach models. The model dates from February 2013, when the German manufacturer has registered the drawings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

    The Pullman model is practically a stretched S-Class with an overall length of whopping 6.4 meters (252“), which is longer than the large Maybach 62 (6.2 meters). The new Mercedes-Benz limousine will have a 2+2+2 seating arrangement with the four rear seats facing each other. They will be separated from the front ones by a privacy glass.

    Of course, an armored version is also planned. It will carry presidents and prime-ministers as well as wealthy businessmen. The armored Pullman will be at least 5,300 kg (11,684 lbs). As you may suggest, the upcoming armored Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman will have a price tag of $1,270,000.

    The all-new S-Class Pullman will be introduced sometime in 2015. Mercedes-Benz is also planning an extra-long wheelbase in the face of S-Class Maybach, but this is not official. Other interesting model which can face production is an S-Class Cabriolet based on the recently unveiled S-Class Coupe.

  • Mercedes-Benz works on new Pullman limousine

    2015-Mercedes-Benz-Pullman-651

    The German automaker Mercedes-Benz will debut the Pullman version of the current S-class in early 2015, online sources say. The new ultra luxurious vehicle will be created and built by tuner Brabus and will feature four doors and six seats.

    The new Pullman model will be based on the 2014 W222 S-class platform and will come with 2+2+2 seating with a middle row of rear-facing seats. The limousine will come in two versions – standard and armored – and will be positioned above the S600 Maybach and the S65 AMG Maybach.

    The upcoming new Mercedes-Benz car is likely to be offered in 4Matic versions only and is expected to be powered by the same 6.0-liter V12 gasoline engine, found in the S600. This unit is capable of delivering 523 HP (385 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of torque. Of course this power will not be the same for the armored version of the Pullman, which will also come with tweaked suspension to accommodate the changes. The Pullman will be a large car – its wheelbase will be about 45 inches (1.15 meters) longer than that of the standard long-wheelbase version of the S-class, while the roof will be about 2.3 inches (5.8 centimeters) higher than in older versions of the Pullman. The car is expected to be 251 inches (6.37 meters) long and the body is said to feature standard rear doors and a reworked C-pillar section that will also debut on the S600 Maybach.

    Being Pullman the new Mercedes-Benz vehicle will offer exclusive interiors. Designed and developed by Brabus, the interior of the new Pullman will include a powered electrochromatic transparent partition between the driver and the passenger compartment, as well as a large flat-panel screen that will rise out of the same partition housing. Both rows of rear-passenger seats will offer folding tables and other amenities stowed in the extensive consoles.

    The armored version of the new Pullman is perhaps the more interesting vehicle. It will come with one of the highest levels of ballistic protection available for passenger cars, namely B6/B7, which means it will be able to withstand 7.62 mm NATO rounds as well as provide some protection against grenades and IEDs (improved explosive devices). The protection package also includes runflat tires, a separate oxygen supply against attacks with poison gases, automatic fire extinguishers for the underside of the car, communications equipment and LED strobes as well as siren and PA systems.

    Unfortunately for most people Pullman means high quality, luxury and high price and the new Mercedes-Benz vehicle will be no different. The standard version will sell for around USD 500 000, while the armored Pullman vehicle will start at about USD 1 million. Both versions are expected in early 2015 and will be offered for ordering in H1 2015.
