After nearly a year of rumors and teasing the Mercedes Pullman will finally debut. According to Reuters, the long-stretch limo will be making its world premiere in the Geneva Motor Show early next month. The car will debut alongside the new Mercedes C-Class Plug-In Hybrid. It should be noted that the three-pointed star marque will also launch its Mille Miglia Edition special package for the SL in the same event.

From what were hinted so far by sources within the company, spy shots, and automotive publications, the S600 Pullman will have six rows of seats, including the driver and passenger’s seats in front. Based from the estimated extra weight of the limo, it will most likely carry a V8 or V12 engine with more than 500 hp and 600 Nm of torque. Expect a luscious interior similar to the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class too.

Since the car will be most commonly used to transport high-level dignitaries, there’s a version of it that will have an armor-plating in order for it to withstand standard assault rifle shots and explosives. It is speculated that such variant will have a price tag of a million dollar or more.

As for the C-Class Plug-In Hybrid, a detuned output but same level of luxury features with its standard C300 sedan counterpart is anticipated. However, the gasoline and electric power units of the car will provide it more mileage before refueling or recharging. Car and Driver said that the price of the car will possibly fall along the $38,000 range.
