History of this Vehicle
1995 Mercedes-Benz S600
Sultan of Brunei
The Sultan of Brunei, whose personal wealth is estimated at
an astounding $50 billion, purchased the Mercedes-Benz S600
when new to add to his fleet of highly individual,
custom-built cars. Built by Trasco at their top-secret
facility in Bremen, Germany, the V-12 powered sedan is
equipped to withstand attacks from handguns, assault rifles,
and armor-piercing military hardware. The total weight of
the vehicle is now 7,600 pounds compared to a stock
Mercedes-Benz S600, which weighs a comparatively low 4,200
pounds. To handle the added weight of the armor plating, the
car's chassis and suspension were strengthened and the car
was fitted with flat-run tires. The fake inoperable
"moon roof" gives the car the appearance of a
standard, unmodified car. Such add-ons enable the vehicle to
blend into the motoring landscape and reduce the likelihood
that would-be attackers will identify it as transportation
of a wealthy, high-profile international figure.
