About technical features of a new off-road car in management Marussia while prefer not to speak.

Mercedes Binz

In the world demand on Six-door sedans is so high that each decade such cars are made. Buyers of such cars more often hotels for transportation of especially important clients and representatives of official delegations. New working out in this class was presented by German firm Binz, the main expert in the world of manufacture special transport on the basis of Mercedeses: ambulances, ritual cars and police versions.

In former years experts of this company stretched also a S-class, and the E-class of the previous generation. Henceforth the scale of versions will be made only by six-door E-classes of new generation. Why the largest German sedan not undertakes in a basis ? Private buyers of limousines, of course, prefer flagman models, and here for hotels, apparently, the model of the business class which has increased at length almost to six metres (it is more Maybach 57!), the price/prestige, rather than much more expensive S-class possesses the best parity.





Unlike the majority of manufacturers of the limousines creating in interior atmosphere of night club with a son of lumiere, bars and telescreens, masters of exclusive tuning from firm Binz pursue the opposite aim. Their extended sedan inside does not differ from serial Mercedes on style of registration. The upholstery of an additional row seats and the complete set of doors are taken from the regular version. An average number is offered in three executions: or the continuous sofa which passengers sit in the direction of travel, or two separate armchairs, developed faced to a back row, or the same seats looking forward.

The strange version most, perhaps, is called Individual. In this limousine only four places, engaging lobbies. Between front and rear numbers – the big distance. If for feet it is possible to recognise record space as plus the superfluous complete set of doors, turns out, to what.





Hardly probable to name any limousines dynamical cars, but models Binz here – an exception. Certainly the additional insert which has extended a body more than on metre, and also seats and doors have made the car more hard on 305 kg. Nevertheless "the five-100-th" E-class even in six-door execution types 100 km/h all for 6 sec that only on 0,8 sec more then regular version. However, in firm Binz perfectly understand that for buyers of similar cars, especially if it is hotels, speed at all is not the main thing, therefore on a choice more accessible versions with a 2,2-litre diesel engine and the 3,5-litre petrol motor are offered also. By the way, irrespective of the chosen engine, Six-doors E-class is capable to type 210 km/h. The maximum speed is limited by electronics. Founders of the car have considered what to steer a six-metre limousine on the big speeds is unsafe.
