Well, that's pretty obvious    - however, there's something very special to this one. So I'd like something a bit more specific than that - it has a different name.

Who did this to the poor Mercedes?

Maybe itīs the SGS Royale

This was an unbelievably sophisticated  conversion by Styling Garage, as the widened the body a hefty 20cm and you really have to have a closer look to even see it...

It's the SGS Royale, all right - and this is not just your average luxurification of a Mercedes. This particular Royale is 70 cm longer than the standard car, but of the six cars that were modified there were also 30 cm and 120 cm conversions. The big difference between this and other custom Mercedes limos, however, was the fact that the Royale was not only lenghtened, but also heightened by 10 cm and - get this - widened by 20 cm (that's close to two inches). Imagine the trouble they went through to get that done!
