Mercedes…Binz S-Class 6door

Just_me · 07-04-2006, 02:47 AM

Limousine manufacturer "Binz", known for its extended chassis E-Class limousines, is stepping up a grade with an all new S-Class limousine concept vehicle. The S-Class Mercedes-Benz based Binz is designed to continue that tradition of excellence established since 1936 when Michael Binz first started coachbuilding with Mercedes-Benz sourced chassis units.

Production of the E- Class Binz continues but it is proposed that this will be complimented by the much larger and more sophisticated Binz S-Class, which will initially be available to special order only.

Inside the 6-door S-Class, passengers will relax on leather seating, and keep their cool thanks to the car’s middle-eastern specification air conditioning. Available options include in-car entertainment from video screens set into the rear of each headrest, and privacy blinds. Power will be courtesy of the S320 V6 common-rail turbo-diesel, while the S350 petrol 24 valve V6 will be optional.

Binz UK CEO Peter Smith explains, "With the latest incarnation of the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz have raised the bar yet again as regards standards of passenger safety, and ride comfort. To retain full Mercedes-Benz engineering approvals for our extended chassis limousine version, means precise recalibration of interrelated on-board electronics controlling adaptive intelligent ride air suspension, vehicle stability control and now the Pre-Safe occupant restraint facility."

Well not really. 6 door vehicles are useful as official VIP transport (people who often travel with a group: bodyguards, secretaries, etc.) or as a hotel courtesy limousines ..they are more practical as luxury "people movers".

You beat me to posting this thought. Having had a phase in my life when I travelled a lot for my work, I discovered that limos have their place in this society, and are in great demand in certain areas like NYC environs. Of course simple LWB 4 door limos are good enough for ordinary working folks, but I can see a need/demand for the 6 door versions as well. Purely for business though....

I don't quite agree...the idea of 6 doors never made sense to me...and most luxurious hotels use two doors...people usually have 2 or 3 body guards that will fit into a two door limo...except for the prom night, which I think riding a 6 door has become a formality unfortunately, at other occasions, in my opinion, it simply is an indication of something else...

Limo's in Las Vegas are like taxi's...all over the place. I would not be surprised to see something like this here. Many hotels have their own fleet to transport VIP and "high rollers" anywhere they want to go. There may even be some 6 door models around here...never checked close enough...
