Mercedes-Benz "Pullman" cars have a long, distinguished history of chauffeuring dignitaries and VIPs, the type of folks that generally require a little extra protection. The armoring is designed to be inconspicuous so that the car appears to be the standard Pullman to onlookers. The passenger compartment features two highly adjustable VIP recliner seats facing the direction of travel and two front seats facing back at them. A partition wall with electrically-lowered, adjustable-tint window separates the passengers from the driver's compartment.The 21-ft-long (6.5-m-long) Guard is powered by a 523-hp 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and its top speed is electronically limited to 99 mph (160 km/h) - so it might have to hang in there and take the blows, instead of speeding away to safety.The S 600 Pullman Guard starts at $1.6 million (approximately Rs 10.86 crore) nearly triple the price of the non-armored S 600 Pullman. Available options include sirens, flashers and an external communication system.
