Mercedes-Benz revealed the first official photos of the E Klasse Limousine, a stretch limo built by partner Binz. Binz is a company specialized in modifying cars for special services such as ambulances, hearses or fire-fighting vehicles.

The company based in Southern Germany has received the approval of Mercedes-Benz to build a six-door stretched-version of the E-Klasse. The car measures 5.98 meters in length, 1.11 meters more than the standard E-Klasse sedan it’s based upon. The car gains two more seats and two more doors, the total seating capacity reaching seven places. The passengers can get access into the limo via its six doors.

The addition of the two doors helped in terms of practicality but involved the rethinking of the whole bodywork in order to maintain a high level of torsional rigidity, especially since the central pillar had to be displaced. The E-Klasse Limousine will also be available with various levels of armoring and equipment in order to guarantee adequate safety and comfort standards, including the dividing leather-covered wall between the driver and the passenger compartment.

The luxury limousine will be offered with two gasoline engines and a diesel: the 350 CGI BlueEfficiency, the E500 and the E250 BlueEfficiency. Clients will be given the possibility to choose between three seat-setting options: 6-Door Limousine (passengers on the second row face the driver), Vis-a-Vis Limousine (passengers on the second row face those on the third) and Individual Limousine (without the second row of seats).

All three versions have a top speed of 131 mph (210 km/h), electronically limited. Optionally, Binz can remove the limiter but don't expect supercar speeds since the lightest version has a weight of 2,100 kilograms (4,629 pounds).
