A total of 2,677 Mercedes-Benz 600 “Grosser” limousines were produced.
The Mercedes-Benz 600, internally designated W100, was Daimler-Benz’s flagship ultra-luxury car. Series production began in 1963 for the 1964 model year and continued until 1981. It was built in limited numbers and offered in several highly customized body styles, helping explain why its total production remained so low.
The 2,677 figure covers the complete W100 600 range rather than only the standard short-wheelbase saloon. This total included 2,190 saloons, 304 four-door Pullman limousines, 124 six-door Pullmans, and 59 landaulets. Some sources group the Pullman variants differently, but the overall total remains 2,677.
The “Grosser Mercedes” was famous for its 6.3-liter M100 V8, air suspension, and extensive hydraulic systems that operated features such as the windows, seats, doors, and boot lid. It was aimed at royalty, heads of state, celebrities, and industrialists—not the ordinary luxury-car buyer.
