The W100 was Mercedes answer to Rolls Royce and Bentley and at that time the most elaborate car from Mercedes-Benz. Only 304 Pullman 4-door cars were built. The M100 engine was the first 8-cylinder Mercedes since World War II. At that time, it was the most expensive car of the company with a list price of 165,424 DM (at that time the most expensive S-Class was: 78,960 DM). Many states and celebrities owned/own a W100 (Pope Paul VI, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Jay Leno, Herbert von Karajan). To this day, the 600 is the epitome of a state car, especially the Pullman version.
