This is one of the cars that you see on a street, eventually also followed by some police cars just casually rolling and instantly thinking – “They must be either very rich businessmen or officials…” – and the fact that such cars that we’ve only seen in movies are now selling on the standard car market is remarkable at the time.
For years, businessmen and upper-level officials choose executive cars similar to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or perhaps Maybach counterparts as representatives of stature. These high rollers opt for these cars for numerous reasons, however mainly for comfort and luxury.
But, the available space has become one of the parameters of luxury in recent times, that prompted Schawe Design to convert a Mercedes V-Class into a business lounge on wheels.
The idea is straightforward – take a V-Class and dial the luxuriousness of its interior amenities up to the utmost level. Here’s a more in-depth look.
Taking a V-Class that has left the factory as an already-luxurious passenger van, Schawe reworked its cabin into one thing you’d wish to live in. The leather on the dashboard and on the panels is Nappa, comprising of black Mercedes-Benz leather and exquisite Bentley leather in a very bright shade of magnolia. The perforated leather on the heated seats is embellished with diamond patterns, with Alcantara and alternative leather finishes substitution the previous plastic trims.
The rear cabin offers seating for four, designed in a very face-to-face position, that we predict would be good if you’re taking your business meeting to the road. Of course, like all business lounges on wheels, there’s privacy separation between the chauffeur and also the passengers. Cabin lights are also present, however, the polychromatic ambient lights quite exclude from the category, we reckon.
With that said, it isn’t all business in the luxurious Schawe V-Class. Electronically-controlled tables are often summoned from the side while 2 crystal carafes complete the luxurious party on wheels. Schawe’s announcement specifically mentions single-malt whiskey, however, in fact, the menu won’t be restricted to it.
On the surface, the Schawe V-Class doesn’t veer far away from an everyday Mercedes automobile, except for the AMG Styling package and also the set of 19-inch 7-double-spoke rims.
Schawe presently sells this business lounge conversion. The release didn’t specify the price of this piece of art, though.
