The Mercedes-Benz 600 (W100) was produced from 1963 to 1981 as the company's flagship Grosser Mercedes, available as a 4-door saloon (SWB) and the long-wheelbase Pullman. It combined a 6.3-litre M100 V8, air suspension and a complex central hydraulic system powering windows, seats, boot and doors. Used by heads of state and celebrities, it remains the benchmark of 1960s ultra-luxury engineering.
Its no-compromise engineering, built in just over 2,600 examples over 18 years, makes it one of the most technically ambitious production cars of its era. Its association with dictators, rock stars and royalty gives it unmatched cultural presence among Mercedes models.
