A timeless classic: The Mercedes 600 W100
The Mercedes-Benz 600, also known as the W100, was introduced as the ultimate luxury car. Mercedes-Benz spent seven years developing this vehicle, determined to create something unmatched. The result was a car that could only rival the luxury of Rolls-Royce and the American Cadillac Series 70.
On February 28, 1969, the first owner had the privilege of picking up this magnificent car from the Mercedes dealer, finished in the elegant color Schwarz Unilack. The interior is a beautiful combination of black leather with wood accents, completing the car’s refined appearance.
Unrivaled power and performance
Under the hood of the Mercedes 600 W100 lies a specially developed 6. 3-liter V8 engine. With this powerful engine, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h in just nine seconds. These impressive performance figures make the 600 not only a symbol of luxury but also of power and speed.
The car is equipped with adjustable air suspension, ensuring unmatched ride comfort regardless of the road surface. The hydraulic system operates the windows, sunroof, trunk, seats, and even the convertible top in the Landaulet version, allowing the car to adapt to the wishes of the driver and passengers.
Diverse variants and royal owners
The Mercedes 600 was available in several variants, including the Short Wheelbase (SWB) version and the Long Wheelbase (Pullman). The Pullman variant was often the choice of heads of state and celebrities. The German government and the Belgian royal family are just a few of the prestigious owners of this iconic car series.
Famous musical icons like John Lennon of The Beatles and Elvis Presley also chose the Mercedes 600, with Lennon owning a white 4-door Pullman. The 600 has frequently appeared in films, often as the vehicle of a megalomaniac villain, as seen in "The Witches of Eastwick" and various James Bond films.
