Mercedes is launching the second model with the Maybach nameplate and it will be the top variant. The 50th birthday of the best-known Pullman saloon of them all, the Mercedes-Benz 600, is set to coincide with a special debut at the Geneva Motor Show – the launch of the new Pullman.
Mercedes-Maybach’s second model will assume the top-of-the-range position, with vis-a-vis seating in the passenger compartment and high-end automotive luxury that is traditionally associated with Maybach. Designed to be the “ultimate in exclusivity and luxury,” the Pullman is a chauffeur-driven limousine that is 1053mm longer than the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. The absolute top-of-the-range model is the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S 600.
It gets a V12 biturbo engine that has an output of 530bhp, and with displacement of 5980 cc, the maximum torque of 830Nm is available from 1900 rpm. As its name suggests, the four seats in the rear of the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman are arranged vis-à-vis. The owner and VIP guests are seated in the direction of travel on two executive seats which are part of the standard specification; other passengers can sit on the fold-down seats facing backwards. If specifically requested, the Pullman can also be delivered in an exclusive version without the additional seats. The car will go on sale next year and there will be armored versions available as well.
