Model history

The origins of the Mercedes-Benz 600 date back to the mid-1950s. Under the leadership of Fritz Nallinger, Daimler-Benz developed a vision for a luxury sedan that represented the cutting edge of technology. Even during the development phase, the 600 was equipped with air suspension, automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes, among other features.
By 1960, the design had been finalized, and a total of twelve prototypes had undergone extensive testing, on the basis of which the final specifications were determined. The result was a luxury sedan that was exceptional in both technical and representative terms and set new standards in automotive engineering.
