Maybach-loving heads of state, we have some good news. The twin-turbo V12 Mercedes-Maybach S600 is now available in super-long, armoured Pullman Guard" spec. The price? A cool 1.4million - 900,000 more than the non-armoured Pullman.For that you get 6.5 metres of steel, glass and leather, armoured to withstand pretty much anything you can throw at it. Not that you"d know, because it"s all under the skin. It"s rated VR9, which is the highest level of ballistic protection, and can withstand decent-sized explosions.The Pullman Guard weighs 5.1 tonnes, and the rear doors are so heavy Merc has had to add force-multiplying electric motors. And like the 600 Pullman of 1965, the polycarbonate-coated windows are hydraulically operated and presumably quite thick.
