Kim Jong Un had quite the whip while in Singapore. 
The North Korean leader departed Tuesday's summit with President
 Donald Trump in what is believed to be an armored Mercedes-Benz S600
 Pullman Guard limousine. Little is known about Kim's limo, though it
 looks to be from the W221 generation, sold from 2008 to 2013, and 
features white leather upholstery. 
Photos of the North Korean Mercedes limos first surfaced in 2014. The
 vehicles are estimated to have been worth well over $1 million each at the
 time of purchase. 
While Kim's limo is not the most updated version of the vehicle, it's still 
quite the ride. 
Production W221 S600 Pullman Guards are powered by a 517-horsepower, 
5.5-liter, bi-turbo V12 engine and decked out with a luxurious
 leather-lined interior. 
At roughly 21 feet long, the S600 Pullman is absolutely massive, and
 there are almost certainly special modifications to suit Kim's personal needs. 
These days, if you want something like Kim's limo, you'll have to go with
 the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Guard. 
 late 2016, but customer deliveries didn't commence until the second half 
of last year. 
Though Mercedes-Maybach announced an updated S650 Pullman limo
 in March, there is not yet an armored Guard version of the new
 model — so if you want bullet resistant luxury, you'll need the S600. 
Take a look at the latest version of the vehicle below.

 Mercedes' $513,000 Maybach S600 Guard armored
