We’re guessing that most of the customers for an armored black Mercedes-Benz S-class aren’t the nicest folks in the world—perhaps dabbling in imports/exports, some light oppression, those sorts of things—and now they have a new version on which to spend their ill-gotten gains, the S600 Guard. (Mercedes will of course sell them to upstanding types, too.)

We imagine there are few places better to be when guns are blazing than in the Guard’s massaging, ventilated back seat. The latest in an 80-year line of armored Mercedes vehicles, the new model is based on the current W222 S-class and offers full body protection against continuous automatic-weapons fire such as you might receive from M60 machine guns, which use 7.62 x 51 mm rounds.
