After seeing and experiencing the Mercedes Benz S600 Guard, I decided to do a little more research.

Mercedes Benz Pullman S600 or some say Mercedes Benz S600 Pullman was first launched in 2006.

Pullmans were actually those railroad sleeping cars equipped with luxurious appointments and originally made by the American Pullman Palace Car Company.

Mercedes Benz started making vehicles with “special protection” way back in 1927. Emperor Hirohito of Japan rode in a 770k.

What really makes this car really special is the way it’s built.

Instead of retrofitting the armor into the vehicle as it would have been done in the past, Mercedes Benz it into the body thus adding further reinforcement.

The S600 is powered by a v12 byturbo engine which produces 380KW/517 hp, has run flat tires and has Level IV (B6/B7) protection. Governments, heads of Stae, royalty and the rich are impressed with the level of protection, comfort and entertsainment that they get when inside the car.

It’s like having your own Abrams M1 or Bradley IFV.
The only difference is that it doesn’t weigh that much and the sound system is better!

The only drawback – you might not find this on the showroom floor of your Mercedes-Benz dealership

Just recently, a friend of mine managed to get a loan to buy a car – not really a wise choice considering the financial fiasco that everybody is dealing with.

When the car came, I did not expect that it was a Mercedes Benz. I was about to chastise him for being a so inconsiderate when, as if reading my mind, he told me that it is one of the new models of Mercedes Benz. And being the idiot that I am when it comes to cars (and a lot of other things), I did not get what he meant and just mumbled about all the negative car issues that I could think of.

Then, he interrupted and said, “You know, sometimes it helps to do some reading. FYI, almost thirty-eight percent of the new Mercedes Benz models consumes less than 6.5 liters of fuel for every a hundred kilometers.”

“Oh, really? Er, why not let me try it out for a test drive.”

Maybe you should try one out and your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.
