For the uninitiated, the Pullman is an absolute top-of-the-range Mercedes the money can buy. Heads of the state and royal families around the world have been using the longest model from the S-Class family for decades.
The new model gets a new grille with fine vertical struts, inspired by a pinstriped suit. That grille celebrated its world premiere in the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. The lights and bumper design are adopted from the new S-Class.
The exterior appearance of the Pullman is rounded off by the 20-inch wheels in a 10-hole design, typical of a Mercedes-Maybach. For an even more individual appearance, the range of paint finishes now also includes two-tone schemes.
The 6.50 metre long Pullman offers a generously sized and tastefully appointed club lounge in the rear. The VIP occupants sit on two standard-specification executive seats facing the direction of travel. Needless to say, they enjoy the largest legroom in the segment.
Also new for the Pullman is a front view camera where the VIP passengers will be able to monitor the traffic in front of the vehicle even when the partition screen is closed.
The “2 cabin sound” feature of the sound system offers more exclusivity than ever before. Thanks to independent control for the front and rear passenger compartment, the occupants of the Pullman enjoy even more personalized music.
Powering the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S 650 is a 5,980 cc V12 biturbo, delivering 630 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. The limousine is claimed to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. The previous Pullman had an S 600 badge and made a lesser output — 530 hp and 830 Nm.
Claimed fuel consumption is 14.6 litres per 100 km and emits 330 grams of CO2 per km; not that it matters but for those who really want to know.
Order books open from 15th March and prices start at around half a million euros.
