Not scheduled to debut until May 2014, the 2014 Mercedes S Class Pullman was spied testing its longer, heavier body. The S-Class Pullman will likley be powered by a twin-turbo V12 Engine that is capable of producing around 600 HP, enough to ensure the roughly 19.5 ft luxury car maintains a superb level of performance.

Where will all this added lenghth come from? Based on the photos, it looks like the additional length will be added to the rear doors and C-pillar, extending the passenger cabin past its already ample length.  Check the gallery below for more looks at the S-Class Pullman.

With the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman, Mercedes is looking to directly target it’s Rolls-Royce Phantom rival, as revealed by Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche.

Zetsche recently confirmed with UK’s Autocar that “Mercedes-Benz has conceived and developed the new S-class to support six different models, along with three different wheelbases in a move aimed at broadening its reach at the top end of the luxury car ranks”.

At the very top of the S-Class lineup will be the ‘Pullman’ variant, designed to take the place of Daimler’s discontinued Maybach brand, the S-Class Pullman will be the crown of the future Mercedes-Benz line-up.

The S-Class Pullman will be based on an extra-long-wheelbase version of the S-class, measuring in at around 236.2 inches long with around a 138 inch wheelbase.  It will receive several luxurious styling touches unique to the model, most notably, the ultra luxury model will gain a distinctive grille that will give the S-Class a more noble appearance over it’s S-Class brethren.

“We will continue in the market segment above €200,000 [£170,000],” said Zetsche. “It is important that Mercedes-Benz is represented. We have tradition at this level.

“We see a chance to extend our leadership at the top end of the luxury car market. We plan to extend the number of models, and a Pullman is included in those plans.”

Zetsche also confirmed that the new S-Class, due to go on sale this fall, will eventually be sold with the choice of three wheelbases in selected markets. Wheelbases will include standard, long and extra-long wheelbases — the long added to the line-up for key markets like China who desire limousines in key markets such as China.

Adding to the S-Class lineup, Mercedes plans to unveil their CL replacement, the S-Class Coupe at the Frankfurt motor show this September. The new coupe S-Class, which will likely be debuted initially as a concept, will be the base for the next S-Class model, the S-class Cabriolet, scheduled to go on sale toward the end of 2014.

The S-Class Pullman is slated to be unveiled in May of 2014, so stay tuned.

According to our good friends at MBPassion, the Maybach replacement, also known as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Pullman, will be unveiled in May 2014. And while it may not receive the same grandiose unveiling as the newly designed 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class had a little over a month ago, we have no doubt Mercedes will give it a proper welcoming party.

The new S-Class sedan is currently offered in both a short wheelbase measuring 3035 mm (119.4 inches) and a long wheelbase 3165 mm (124.6 inches). The longer pullman model will reportedly have a 3465mm-3515mm (136.4-138.3 inches) a 300-350 mm addition. It will also be around 6000 mm (236.2 inches) long compared to the LWB’s 5246 mm (206.53 inches).

The S-Class Pullman will be primarily directed at the Chinese market where long wheel base variants are extremely popular, take for example the E-Class Long that was unveiled in Shanghai in April exclusively for the Chinese market.

In just two months, the new Mercedes S-Class will have it’s world debut in Hamburg. Explaining why more and more we have been seeing spy photos of the different S-Class variants testing around the world with minimal camo popping up daily.

These photos from our good friends at GMotors however, show something we haven’t seen before. It’s definitely based on the S-Class but is very long and stretched, especially the B-pillar, t more than likely it is the new S600 luxury Pullman.  For those of you that haven’t been following the Maybach brand, Daimler announced in 2011 that the brand would cease to exist in 2013, being replaced by a more luxuriuos Mercedes-Benz S-Class.  So we have to wonder, is this the S-Class set to replace the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62?
