2015 Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Maybach 6.0 V12 (530 HP)

Vehicle Overview

After the Maybach brand was again withdrawn from the market, Mercedes-Benz considered adding that famous nameplate as a trim level for its most exquisite models of the S-Class.

Maybach was a long-time competitor for the three-pointed-star brand before WWII, but the brand didn’t survive too much after the war. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, thrived and grew. And after a while, it bought the Maybach brand and initially launched a special line of vehicles that sported the double-M badge on the hood. Those didn’t last too long, either. But then, that noble badge was transformed into a trim level.

With the long wheelbase version, the German premium automaker also revived the Pullman name that was known as a competent luxury coach builder. Thus, the Mercedes-Benz Pullman Maybach may be considered the most exquisite version of an S-Class. The front fascia shows a distinct grille with three double slats on it. From its profile, the extended wheelbase Pullman version featured an additional window between the front and rear doors and a fourth glass area in the D-pillar.

Inside, the automaker threw all the luxurious items it had in its basket. The leather-wrapped interior was tailored-made for each customer. From face-to-face rear seating to star-like ceiling, everything was available. In addition, a separating panel separated the passenger area from the driver’s area. The one behind the wheel didn’t have to hear what was going on in the back. An intercom system ensured that they could get all the needed information.
