Full range of six-door, four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz E-class luxury sedans

Are you a die-hard Mercedes E-Class fan? Do you need to accommodate more than five people? If the answer is yes to both, then look no further, spy photographers have captured a six-door prototype that puts the S-Class to shame.

The stretch limousine appears to be designed for a world where the GLS doesn’t exist, and is believed to be the work of Binz. The company specializes in converting Mercedes vehicles into models for ambulances, command vehicles and government use. The company also has a long history of building funeral cars, as well as limousines, like the one you see here.

However, it’s been a while since we last saw the six-door E-Class sedan. The newest one, which appears to have been introduced in 2010, was stretched by 3.7 feet (1.13 meters), giving it a length of 19.6 feet (5.98 meters). It has three rows of seating, including a pair of second-row captain’s chairs separated by a center console. That being said, the customization options are nearly endless, even including armor.

Fast forward to today, and the company has extended the latest E-Class sedan and installed a new set of doors. The latter features old-school handles, but they’ll likely be replaced by flush-mounted units on road models.

Despite its massive size, an E200 badge on the trunk indicates that the prototype is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces just 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque. This enables the regular sedan to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 7.5 seconds before hitting a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h).
