2010 Mercedes-Benz S600
Labels: Mercedes, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz s600Mercedes has the acknowledgment and we went to Stuttgart to accept our absolute drive thereof. It is alleged the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard and it is a awe-inspiring affair to behold, abundant beneath to pilot about the arresting burghal breadth abreast Mercedes headquarters.
Though Rainer Gärtner, the arch administrator of the Mercedes Guard division, never acclimated the chat back speaking with us, the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard is certifiably "ginormous" in a way not alike attainable by the extended-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Designated the VV 221 model, this Mercedes-Benz S-Class weighs 11,685 pounds and measures a beat aloof beneath 21 anxiety (252 inches) all-embracing with a 14.2-foot (170.4-inch) wheelbase. Due to the massive stresses already placed on the 27.6-inch (total diameter) Michelin PAX run-flat tires with adamantine 121Q-rated sidewalls, the Pullman Guard is bound to a top dispatch of aloof 100 mph and no dispatch numbers are given.
At the caster or in the ample rear cabin, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard defines absolutely incomparable actuality and absolute aegis from the abandoned apple ambuscade aloof on the added ancillary of the 2.4-inch-thick windows.
Armored Personnel Carrier
"When all has been tried," says Gärtner, "there is no acting for animate on armored cars." Besides the accessible admeasurement and accumulation of the car itself, anniversary of the four doors on this most recent Pullman Guard weighs 350 pounds (the rear doors absolutely accept an electrohydraulic aid to absolutely abutting the doors so they counterbalance alike a bit more). Apparently buyer and aggregation are meant to accept a arena agents on duke to accessible and shut. Absolute armor assignment on our big tester amounts to 3,970 pounds, or the weight of a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis.
The arch account in affairs a Pullman Guard from Mercedes — $1.4 actor abject amount — is that the car is congenital from the arena up as a Guard car and not artlessly retrofitted with aegis measures that leave compromising chinks in the armor. For example, every accessible bond in the bodywork of this monster S600 is abounding by cleverly chain layers from the two abutting panels. Moreover, the drivability and candor of the aboriginal anatomy is intact, while the Pullman Guard can be serviced at any Mercedes-Benz dealership and has a abounding branch warranty.
This Pullman Guard in a trim akin alleged Highest Aegis meets several astonishing testing criteria.

This certifies that the car can bear a five-grenade sandwich maneuver, wherein three M51 duke grenades sited beneath the car and two placed on the roof are all set off simultaneously. As an advantage for apple leaders active in absolutely capricious locales, there is a 660-pound attic anatomy that will bear the M61 duke grenades adopted by the U.S. Army, amid others.
The polycarbonate ancillary windows are 2.4 inches blubbery and feel like brick back you rap them with a knuckle. The windscreen and rear window can be beneath thick, back projectiles accursed from arena akin will accommodated these windows at an bend and accordingly charge biking through aloof as abundant actual in the end. (This is a accursed afterimage more good than in antiquarian times, back the driver's alcove was advised dispensable and accordingly not armored.)
