King Mohammed VI is known for picking his guests at the airport in his open-top Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, before taking them on royal motorcade.

Launched in 1963 at the Frankfurt motor show, the Pullman 600 is essentially the long-wheelbase version of the W100 Mercedes 600, and the equivalent of today’s top-of-the-range S-Class sedan.

The six-seater stretch limousine was 6,240 mm (245.7 in) long and came in closed and open-top (Landaulet) versions with its wheelbase measuring 3,900 mm (153.5 in).

Powering the Mercedes Pullman is naturally aspirated, 6,3-liter V8, which produces 250-horsepower and 510 Nm, allowing the 2.6 tonne car to reach a top speed of 125 mph (207 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in less than 10 seconds.
