Recently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un crossed the inter-Korean border in Panmunjom to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in. This event is especially important and meaningful because this is the first time a North Korean head of state has set foot on South Korean territory since 1953. During this meeting, the image of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sitting in a black armored limousine with 12 bodyguards running around him leaving the Peace House made many people feel excited. This car is the bulletproof luxury Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard.
When it first introduced the vehicle, Mercedes said that in addition to providing ample seating space for top comfort, the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard also represents the highest level of exclusivity. “Everyone can feel the special and wonderful Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard in every detail,” the company added.
