ARMORED MAYBACH
GLS 600
The summit of the protected SUV. Handcrafted Maybach luxury with certified ballistic protection to VR9.
Where protection meets the Maybach standard
The Maybach GLS 600 is the most luxurious SUV Mercedes-Benz builds. A 4.0-litre V8 biturbo delivering 550 hp carries it from rest to 100 km/h in under five seconds, and the air suspension isolates the cabin from the road entirely.
Protected to certified ballistic standards, it becomes the definitive choice for principals who require the highest level of security without stepping down from the highest level of luxury.
ENGINEERED AS A SINGLE STRUCTURE
Every Maybach GLS 600 is converted as one certified whole — ballistic materials, reinforced structure and glazing engineered together, then tested as a complete system.
Laboratory-tested ballistic steel, lightweight composite panels and multi-layered transparent armour are integrated throughout the Maybach GLS 600, calibrated to preserve weight balance and driving character.
Doors, pillars, roof and floor are reinforced as one continuous cell with a complete overlap system, closing every conventional line of exposure around the occupants.
Multi-layered glazing delivers exceptional optical clarity with a no-spall inner layer, so visibility and cabin appearance remain entirely undisturbed.
Weight carried without compromise
The GLS platform was engineered with substantial reserves. Protection is absorbed into it rather than imposed upon it.
Ample reserve power maintains effortless acceleration and overtaking authority under protected mass.
Adaptive air suspension recalibrated to preserve the signature Maybach ride quality on any surface.
Active suspension technology counteracts roll, pitch and road imperfection for uninterrupted rear-seat calm.
A REAR LOUNGE, ENTIRELY INTACT
The defining feature of the Maybach GLS is what happens behind the front seats. The protective conversion leaves it untouched.
Reclining rear thrones with calf supports, massage function and folding centre console preserved in full.
Individual rear climate zones with fragrance and ionisation, operating on the sealed protected cabin.
Bespoke leathers, hand-finished wood and ambient lighting specified individually for each commission.
Discretion at the highest level
For principals at this level, protective systems must be entirely invisible until the moment they are required.
Reinforced run-flat inserts allow continued progress at speed after tyre damage, ensuring the vehicle can always reach a safe location.
Protected exhaust, battery, fuel system and radiator, together with locking fuel and bonnet provisions, guard the vehicle while unattended.
Discreet LED strobes, siren and public-address systems, intercom and emergency communication packages are available and invisible when not in use.
