Well, if you are unaware and have never seen Dhirubhai Ambani’s rare Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman, then you are in luck. Here are some of the images of his former limo.
Dhirubhai Ambani's Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman
These images of Dhirubhai Ambani's rare Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman have been shared on Instagram by Car Crazy India on their page. In these rare images, we can note that Dhirubhai Ambani's Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman is parked inside a Mercedes-Benz dealership’s workshop. Most likely, it was sent by the Ambani family for its routine maintenance.
From the images, we can note that, like all cars owned by the Ambani family, the condition of this particular S600 Pullman is immaculate. There is not even a single scratch on the front of this vehicle, and all the trims, chrome bits, and other parts are intact.
It also has the Mercedes Tri-Star hood badge as well. There are a few images which show the side profile of this limousine as well. For those who may not be aware, Mercedes-Benz offers its S-Class in the Pullman configuration, which gets an extended rear cabin.
This particular S600 Pullman is from the W220 generation of the S-Class, and it was specially ordered by Dhirubhai Ambani for himself. We can also note that it was optioned with simple yet classy five-spoke alloy wheels. The rear of this S600 Pullman looks like the standard S-Class from the W220 generation.
Interior
Apart from the exterior images, the post also has a few images of the interior of this Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman. We can note that the main highlight of this limo was the rear cabin. It had a four-seater configuration where people would sit facing each other. Also, like the standard model, there are power adjustment buttons for all seats on the door panels.
To keep the temperature in the rear cabin in check, there are AC vents in the middle of the seats on the lower portion. Apart from these, there are also premium floor mats. One thing which eagle-eyed viewers will note is that there is no partition between the rear and front cabin, which is something that is generally seen in limousines.
The post also shows the front cabin of this sedan; it looks like the standard S-Class from 2001. It gets a standard four-spoke steering wheel with wood trims on top and bottom, a small infotainment system with keypad, which was the signature of old Mercedes-Benz cars. It also had powered front seats as well, and everything was wrapped in leather.
Powertrain of the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman
Mercedes-Benz offered the S600 Pullman limousine with a massive 6.0-liter V12 M137 engine. This engine was capable of producing 367 PS and 530 Nm of peak torque. It came mated to a 5-speed automatic torque converter gearbox. Apart from the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman, Dhirubhai Ambani also had a BMW 759i XL L7 limousine as well.
