The most expensive car in the Mercedes India portfolio, the Maybach S 600 Guard makes its way to India. The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Guard is the first armoured passenger car in the world designation with the VR 10 protection level, the highest possible. The Maybach S 600 can provide protection under threatening ballistic and blast situations.

The Maybach S 600 runs on a V12 petrol engine which delivers 390 hp of power output and 830 nm of torque, which is needed to propel the heavy vehicle at any reasonable getaway speed. Top speed is, expectedly, limited to 190 kmph. The 12-cylinder engine is mated to Mercedes’ favoured 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission.

The Maybach S 600 is built on a sturdy monocoque body design, with key reinforcements being made in the manufacturing stage as opposed to being bolted on. Naturally, all the creature comforts you’d expect from a Mercedes-built tank are available.

Gadgetry includes Intelligent Drive, assistance systems with options like Night View Assist Plus, LED Intelligent Light System and a 360° camera.

Features to give you courage under fire include:

-Opaque roller blinds all-round in the rear
-Panic alarm system
-Fire extinguisher system with automatic activation
-Emergency fresh air system protecting occupants from the ingress of smoke or irritant gases
-Hydraulic power for the heavy side windows
-LED reading lamps in the rear, because incoming RPGs can wait till you finish this damn chapter.

The Mercedes Maybach S 600 is priced at Rs 10.50cr ex-showroom. Contact Q branch for more details.
