Review from Autospies.com:

Celebrities, dignitaries, and the obsessively paranoid now have a new cocoon in which to wrap themselves as they travel from place to place. For them, the Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard melds V12 power and Mercedes' luxurious, quiet accommodations with the sense of security only an armored vehicle can provide.

Like the other Guard models (E and G-Class rides are also available) the S-Guard is built on its own assembly line, which lets Mercedes armor up the car as part of the original production process. As a result, they're able to build in the protective features better than any aftermarket program and still tune the car so that it doesn't lose much (if anything) in terms of handling and comfort. The 517-horsepower V12 underhood is more than capable of providing adequate thrust.

If the vehicle comes under threat, it's B6/B7 armor level is enough to stop standard military-grade small-arms fire (such as 7.62mm and 5.56mm rounds), protect against grenade shrapnel and offer protection against other explosive devices. Run-flat tires, a self-sealing fuel-tank, and an integrated fire-extinguishing system round out the Guard package. Despite all the reinforcements, the S600 Guard is visually indistinguishable from the garden-variety V12 S-Class.

You know what's odd MLX? I didn't even see this awesome sift the first time round! This is the first time I ever saw it! The only reason I know you submitted it earlier is because I check comments compulsively and obsessively...

Coming to a failed state near you, eh?

Is that "fresh air system" for real?

Hmmm, well, I liked it and thought others might vote for it. Then it sat for a day and a half with no votes so I discarded it, James made me think twice about it, so I resubmitted. Same title, same tags. I did do a little research for the post this time, though.

It's obviously a Mercedes promotional video, so maybe that could turn some people off. It also could be that it got lost in the Queue very quickly.

Anyway, thanks for the votes!

not bad. i still hate how the new s-class looks. i prefer a 7-series.

Hell, give me something with clearance, horsepower, torque and a BAR mounted to the top an i'm Andy! You da one need ta be bulletproof!

Guess I'm getting impatient... when does something cool happen? I saw the soundproof room and was hoping they'd whip out a pistol to demonstrate the bulletproofing. This looks like dentists with a techno beat

I somehow think this video was done to sell the dealers. It's too long for a commercial. Well made, though, I loved the music and editing.
