S-Class W222 Mercedes-Benz S 600 (V222)


The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the sixth generation of the Mercedes Benz S-Class produced from 2013 to 2020, serving as the successor to the W221 S-Class and predecessor to the W223 S-Class. The W222 has a similar design theme to the C-Class (W205) and E-Class (W213).
Interesting observation from the drawing: Pullman gets the normal door but the Maybach gets unique treatment. Further enforces in my mind the idea that Pullman is just a special project / factory aftermarket job.
 
The upcoming Mercedes-Maybach will instead be an extra-long-wheelbase version of the S-class, akin to personal S-class cars built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet in the 1990s that also featured a re-engineered rear passenger section with redesigned rear doors and a luxurious interior.

Some armored W140 S 600 Carat Duchatelet Pullman photos were just posted on the MB Exotenforum:

I don't like that grey leather strip across the dash and doors as well as the brown motif writing on the passenger side above the glovebox, it doesnt match up with that nice wood and dark leather used elsewhere
