Mercedes E-Class Limo Sketches Surface

Mercedes E-Class Limo Design Drawing

Possible E-Class Pullman?

Several design sketches filed with the European Registry have surfaced which show an upcoming Mercedes E-Class limo.

While virtually nothing is known about the new limo, the pictures suggest that the car will be offered in a variety of different sizes. One particular design shows a vehicle with a modest increase in wheelbase (probably 4-6") which would likely put it on par with the S-Class. The other two designs seem to show an E-Class Pullman limousine, which our spy photographers caught back in February, with a massive stretch in wheelbase and the option of coming equipped with either four or six doors.

The E-Class Pullman limo would likely be powered by Mercedes' 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 388 horsepower (285 kW) and 391 lb-ft (530 Nm) of torque. Judging by the S600 Pullman, the car would also come equipped with a variety of luxurious features such as LCD video screens, Maybach-style folding rear tables, and individual rear seats with power adjustment.

It's not a limo if it has 6 doors, just an over glorified taxi.

The character lines do not have a good flow to them.

i never understood the point of these things. they're bespoke, and hence expensive so:

1. if you want a limo, what's wrong with a LWB S-Class?

2. if you need 6 seats, what's wrong with something like a GL or even (God-forbid) an R-Class?

I know, right? Even a Ford Transit would be a better option, because the R-klasse or the GL are very expensive...

I know,because it's their tradition.

a limo is supposed to look elegant , not only be functional. it just looks better when a head of state comes out of a limo than an SUV.

Eww, not cool. Why can't they use the S-Class, if it HAD to be a Mercedes?

Ugly thing - just get a BMW Rolls Royce - this ugly E is no where near in terms of class, style and status.

Its a bit harsh to pronounce a car ugly when all you've seen is a design sketch.
