Think United States President Donald Trump ,Russian President Vladimir Putin and Paul Biya of Cameroon are the only world leaders that boasts an impressive military-grade official car? Then you are wrong.

Muhammadu Buhari, who was recently sworn-in as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, also boasts an armoured luxury ride.



Just like the old model he inherited from ex-president Goodluck Jonathan four years ago, the new official car - the Mercedes-Maybach S560 - which was unveiled during his inauguration ceremony, was custom made for the President.



Checks by AutoJosh reveal that the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 560 starts at $170,750 (or N61m) for the unarmoured version. But this one is bulletproof and definitely more expensive - courtesy of ballistic steel plating, bulletproof windows, and tyres that stay inflated even if punctured. 

Also included are features like Car-to-X Communication, Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call, Active Brake Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Evasive Steering Assist ,Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist.

With the added weight, the armoured 2019 Mercedes-Maybach S560 should be able zip from zero to 60 m.p.h. in a little above 5 secs with its 463 horsepower V-8 engine in case a quick getaway is in order.



While the car boasts a powerful engine, the interior is anything but aggressive.The 2019 Maybach S-class is best enjoyed from the rear seats, where the President can stretch out and relax on hot-stone-style massaging leather seats and curtains to close out the world , while enjoying the Burmester audio system.

The Mercedes-Maybach S560 (& S650), the most popular sedan in the fleet of World leaders, is perhaps one of the most elegant way to be chauffeured around the Country .

What happened to Innoson? Ineptitude!

Not impressed....





I think "the beast" is still better.

How many times we go look at it

When I'm president my ride will be nothing less than 150m.

S 650 is different, costlier and bigger than S 560.

The President uses S 650.

Mr Integrity you think you are deceiving gullible people.

When hunger sama you, you will forget the word integrity and remember the survival instinct.
