This is the $1.6 million armored Mercedes-Maybach limo you can't have
Mercedes-Benz
Over the past decade, the Maybach name has become synonymous with style, power, and over-the-top luxury. After a brief hiatus, Mercedes brought the brand back as the range-topping version of its iconic S-Class sedan. Now, the three-pointed star has taken the Maybach to a whole new level with an armored stretched limousine version called the S600 Pullman Guard.
For the vast majority of the Maybach's clients, either the "regular" non-armed Pullman limo or the normal length S600 Guard versions will do. But there are a select few who require both the room of a stretched limo and the armored protection of the S600 Guard. Hence the creation of the Maybach S600 Pullman Guard.
However, it should be noted that this isn't the first armored Maybach limo on the road. Canada's Inkas Armored Vehicles Manufacturing has been bullet-proofing Maybachs since 2015. The S600 Pullman Guard allows customers to get bullet resistance straight out of the factory.
"Besides providing spacious seating in first-class comfort for high-ranking passengers, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is of course the embodiment of exclusivity at its highest level," Mercedes sales and marketing boss Ola Källenius said in a statement.
"One can sense the significance and greatness of it in every detail".
According to Mercedes, the S600 Pullman Guard lists for whopping $1.57 million in its native Germany. Even though Maybach expects to begin delivery of the Pullman Guard in the second half of 2017, the company won't be offering the armored limos for sale in the US.
