The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse, is a series of full-sized luxury sedans and coupés produced by Mercedes-Benz. The S-Class is the designation for top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz models and was officially introduced in 1972 with the W116, and has remained in use ever since. The S-Class is the flagship vehicle for Mercedes-Benz, being positioned above the other Mercedes-Benz models.

IAA 2019: MERCEDES-MAYBACH S 650 PULLMAN IN TWO-TONE PAINT
The absolute top model of the luxury brand Mercedes-Maybach is currently the Pullman with vis-à-vis seating arrangement behind the partition, which has been further optimized as part of the facelift: The longest model of the S-Class family with 6.50 meters is quite rarely seen in traffic, which makes the two-color exterior paint rather exclusive.
The reinterpretation of the Mercedes-Maybach grille in the facelift - with its fine vertical struts - accentuates the front. The grille was inspired by a pinstripe suit. For an even more individual appearance, the paint choices now also offer the two-color finishes featured with the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class at the customer's request. In the interior - with Magma Gray, Mahogany Brown and Silk Beige / Deep Sea Blue - new exclusive colors are available.
Even its length of 6.50 meters signals the special status of the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman. This creates the space for a spacious and elegant club lounge in the rear with numerous standard amenities and the chauffeured limousine meets the modern requirements of the highest exclusivity and luxury. The VIP guests travel in the direction of travel on two standard executive seats. You can enjoy the greatest legroom in the segment and a very comfortable entry and exit. Pullman-typical, the four passengers can sit vis à vis behind the electrically lowerable partition wall. Also new to the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is a front view camera. Passengers in the rear thus have the opportunity to observe the traffic in front of the vehicle even when the partition is closed.

Isn’t it build by Brabus for MB.
Some of the pics I clicked from IAA
RR’s coach line like treatment look nice. With Maybach they are gradually making more individual approach which is significant if they are scaling up Maybach as ultra-luxury trim.

I have been asking that ever since it was released - I suspect the sales for the Pullmann are next-to-none. The market has changed - am I correct in assuming (in the USA) stretched limos are only really popular as party-hire vehicles now? - The days when private individuals were chauffeured around in personal 7-seat stretched limos seem to be long gone.

I would imagine they make 10-15 a year worldwide. There is no market for such a beast outside of heads of state and what not.

Even when limos were more popular here they were not Mercedes limos. They were primarily stretched American cars (government vehicles included), so I don't think the market has changed much here.

Has this car had a warmer sales reception in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets?

That would be a good question. For the record, I don't think Mercedes was planning on making a lot of these, hence them subcontracting vehicle production out to Brabus. Hard to know the sales targets for such a vehicle.

I realize back in the 1970s and ‘80s Mercedes cars were not as common in the USA as they are today. I also realize this Pullman is way more expensive than the relative cost of a 7-seat Cadillac limousine in the mid-1980s. I’m just wonderring, how common are stretched Lincolns and Cadillacs for personal use? The stretched Escalades are quite cool if they’re well done.
I have seen new Cadillacs with three-rows seats - they’re not so pretty.

Oh I see. During my lifetime they haven't really used by anyone outside of big company CEOs, high ranking government officials, and for rent for parties/celebrity transport. So not often. In current times important people mostly get driven in a large luxury sedans or large SUVs.

MERCEDES-BENZ GUARD: FOR MORE THAN NINE DECADES SPECIAL PROTECTION EX FACTORY
-- google translated
Exquisite comfort, extensive customization options and integrated maximum protection ex works: that's what Mercedes-Benz GUARD stands for. The first specially protected Mercedes-Benz automobile was a representative Pullman sedan of the type Nürburg 460 (W 08) introduced in 1928. This vehicle as well as the order of the Japanese Imperial Court in 1930 for two armored Pullman limousines of the type 770 "Big Mercedes" are the origin of these very special automobiles. For more than nine decades, governments, crowned heads and corporations have placed their trust in the special protection vehicles with the famous star. The current Mercedes-Benz GUARD models offer maximum protection right up to the VR10 classification and are therefore sophisticated products of the highest technical standard. The GUARD manufacture also makes numerous customizations possible. History also includes the fact that Mercedes-Benz equips international events with GUARD vehicles, such as state receptions, summit meetings and social events of major importance.
The unique combination of outstanding properties is the recipe for success of the Mercedes-Benz GUARD program. On the one hand, the special-purpose vehicles meet the highest protection classes available for civil vehicles and provide complete all-round protection. On the other hand, they pamper their occupants with typical S-Class comfort, the highest levels of active and passive safety, and unrestricted everyday usability.
The integrated special protection from Mercedes-Benz GUARD makes this possible. All protective elements such as doors, rear wall, side panels, headliner and front wall are not subsequently installed in an already finished vehicle, but are integrated from the ground up in an independent production process in the body shell. For this purpose, the vehicles of the GUARD family are designed and developed right from the start together with the non-specially protected variants. Potential weaknesses are identified in elaborate test procedures during the development process and secured by the specialists.
Focused driving safety training from Mercedes-Benz familiarizes customers and chauffeurs with the driving dynamics of GUARD vehicles. It is included in the vehicle price. In addition, they receive an introduction to the technical features and systems.
Integrated special protection and a highly effective composite material
All measures are based on Mercedes-Benz's many years of experience in the construction of special protection vehicles. All reinforcing elements made of special steel and other high-strength materials are already integrated during the shell construction phase in cavities between bodyshell structure and outer shell and purposefully reinforce the basic structure. Joints and material transitions receive intelligent material overlaps. The underbody covers an armor developed for the vehicles in the relevant areas.
The glazing is a solid and integral part of the guards. Material and thickness also meet the high requirements of the underlying safety classification here. On the inside, the discs are coated with a polycarbonate splinter protection. Despite their comprehensive protective properties, they offer very good optical properties.
This solid compound results in a highly effective shelter for passengers against attacks. The interior remains virtually untouched by the very complex and technically sophisticated protection system and offers passengers unrestricted comfort - unlike, for example, vehicles with retrofitted armor plates. Suspension, brakes, suspension and assistance systems are of course adapted to the extra weight and offer close-to-standard handling and best comfort.

I'm jumping back a bit here, but according to the registration data, in the UK there are 5 S600 Maybach Pullmans and 1 S650 Maybach Pullman, up to Q2 this year, with the first arriving in 2018. The fifth of the S600's has not be taxed for road use, so possibly for export or a Mercedes UK owned dealer show piece maybe... or maybe it's in the Monarchy. I'd bet there's double that in Germany, and by shear weight of population in the USA, the must be the same again there (or China).
