It’s Not a Stretch to Call the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Luxurious
Mercedes-Benz is bringing Maybach back with a vengeance. In fact, it’s included the name in a new sub-brand: Mercedes-Maybach. It hasn’t been that long since the introduction of the Mercedes-Maybach S600, but there’s now another model in the portfolio. Not just any model, though: a Pullman, just in time for the 50th birthday year of what M-B calls “the best-known … Pullman, the Mercedes 600.”
“Many governments, rulers and royal families around the world have for decades chosen Mercedes-Benz sedans with the designation ‘Pullman’ to drive them with the stateliness and style befitting their status,” Mercedes states in a press release. A 21.3 feet-long body with a wheelbase of 14.5 feet will definitely make a statement. Dignitaries will have even more room in which to conduct their official business thanks to a body that’s more than 3.9 inches taller than that of a Mercedes S-Class.
As the following picture shows, the new Pullman has four rear seats. The executive seats that face the partition, which can be turned from transparent to opaque with the push of a button, feature backrests that can be adjusted without affecting the footwell and seat reference point. Those lucky enough to sit on one of the special thrones can tilt the back section as much as 43.5 degrees.
Diplomats who get to the office in the comfort of a 2016 Pullman’s leather-stuffed interior can stay up to date on the latest global developments by watching an 18.5-inch screen in front of the division between the driver and the passenger compartment. After work, they can relax by listening to one of two Burmester audio systems: a standard unit or a Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System.
The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S600’s 6-liter twin-turbo V12 develops 523 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque, and will make sure ambassadors get to important summits in record time.
Clients outside of the U.S. can take delivery of the $566,922 Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S600 (without armor) at the beginning of next year. Customers in the States will have to wait to find out when they can expect to receive theirs.
