This your thread is an insult to some of us who actually watch and read a proper auto review. Copy and paste if you ask me, I don't need to check. @autoreportng2

Next time, ask saraki to use his car for a review. Drive is around Abuja n come n tell us how it feels.

Lawd have mercy

Someone should just check the 'OVERVIEW' of the article above...it says the car can react to bumps,so the occupants would not even feel anything.I believe that must be the reason why the man got it...u know, bad roads everywhere.So he won't feel the potholes on the road anytime he uses road transport.

NO HOPE FOR WE THE MASSES

hahahahahahahah

You are asking for Fake Pastor VP Osinbajo sorry Acting President Fake Pastor VP Osinbajo's car? You mean he does not ride in a heavenly chariot pulled by angels and fuelled by communion wine? Soon Fake Pastor will pretend he rides in bolekaja molue, or better still his convoy is populated by Keke napep. Fake Pastor should not come and tell his habitual lies of humility or parsimony when Nigerians know that even his SSS goons are using Mercedes benz S class cars as security cars to be harassing innocent motorists off the road.


just see how ambitious you are to be unfortunate in life, continue.

Same BMW as the IG of police posted earlier.or=Nairadays post=53777752]Class, not bad for a Senate President.

Meanwhile the German Chancellor rides an Audi A8 W12 Engine while they sell the mercedes brand to the world.



I wonder what type of cars did Buhari reject before he was inaugurated as President? Besides i've been seeing Osinbajo in one BMW like that; wonder what type of specs it'll be?[/quote]

Same BMW with. That of the police IG.

Having reviewed cars of some Nigerian officials from President Buhari, Gov. Fayose, Ooni of Ife, HRH, Sanusi Lamido among others, the lists will be not complete without taking a review of the Senate President's wonders on heels. The SP came under backlash last year when the Premium Times broke an exclusive that the Senate took delivery of some exotic cars despite been under economic crunch and recession, Dr. Bukola Saraki was quick to explain his stand on the issue and how the cars came about. I won't bore you with the details as we are interested in that now. It may be of note that these cars were supplied by the Lagos Auto- Sellers, Mr. Lanre Shittu. The official car of the Senate President is 2016 model Mercedes Benz S550, of course, its an armored car.

Introduction
The S-Class full-size luxury sedan has long been the face of class, sophistication, and cutting-edge technology for Mercedes-Benz. The latest S continues the tradition with perhaps the most pampering cabin on the market and enough gadgetry to put technophiles into a state of utter bliss.

Overview
Supple leather, exquisite wood garnishments, and good metal trim cover every inch of the S-Class' interior, creating an air of old-world opulence. Fire it up and bring the electronics to life, however, and it immediately becomes apparent that the big sedan has all four wheels firmly planted in the 21st century. The S-Class is the world's first car to be able to detect and react to bumps thanks to an optional "MAGIC BODY CONTROL" system. This technology uses stereo cameras to scan for imperfections in the road surface ahead and prepare the chassis to smooth out any potholes or bumps.

Style and Power
Outside, the S-Class combines traditional touches like a formal, upright version of the corporate Mercedes grille with flowing surface detailing borrowed from the automaker's rakish four-door sedan models. Notably, the lighting system is comprised entirely of LED units - in fact, there's not a single incandescent lightbulb to be found inside or outside of the car.

Standard and Optional Features
Every S-Class model comes standard with a navigation system, a Burmester AM/FM/CD/SiriusXM stereo system, a panorama sunroof, heated seats, leather upholstery, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, full LED exterior and interior lighting, a power rear window sunshade, adaptive high beam assist and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Night View Assist Plus
Mercedes engineers managed to improve the S-Class' night-vision system with the introduction of Night View Assist PLUS, which is equipped a special pedestrian detection function. The Pre-Safe braking system has also been improved to reduce injuries in unavoidable crashes. Mercedes says the car can apply maximum braking pressure automatically around 0.6 seconds before what is recognized as an unavoidable accident. The system therefore acts as something like an "electronic crumple zone," Mercedes contends.

Occupant Safety
In addition to ABS and ESP stability control, the S-Class boasts nine supplemental restraints including two-stage front air bags, a knee air bag for the driver and pelvic air bags which work together with curtain and side air bags to provide extra protection for front occupants in dangerous side-impact collisions. Rear seatbelt airbags are optional. A standard "ATTENTION ASSIST" system can alert the driver to the first signs of drowsiness, a factor that causes more than 100,000 accidents a year in the U.S.A. A steering sensor is coupled to smart software that uses 70 parameters to establish a unique driver profile during the first 20 minutes of driving. Between 50 and 112 mph, the system identifies the erratic steering corrections drivers make as they begin to get drowsy and triggers an audible warning and a "Time for a Rest?" message with a coffee cup icon in the instrument cluster.

Nice one. For Saraki to still be the President of the Senate, it strengthen the fact that, is only God that gives power and sovereignty to whom He will.

No wahala.

All these polithiefian's cars are being noted.
Yes, noted for when Revolution happens in the country.

So far, Saraki's tops the list of target.

If you don't know, he has a car that 'beats' this, parked untouched in his residence in Ilorin.

I don't know who the hell is so damn fixated with slapping us in our faces with the satanic opulence of our elected and appointed public officers, [/b]while a vast majority of Nigerians wake up each day of their lives to abject poverty, infrastructural failure, insecurity, failing financial system, and go to their beds starving, with unpaid bills etc.

Why add salt to our injury?
