Mercedes-Maybach S550: An Overview of Pres. Buhari's Official Car (Photos)

We have seen the official car of the US president called The Beast. The Beast was built in a sophisticated manner, and details about it are not revealed to the public. We decided to take a look at the Nigerian Presidential Fleet. A closer look reveals that, Pres. Buhari rides in Mercedes-Maybach S550. A closer look at this "Nigerian Beast" shows us some features of this car. The car can best be described as a car made for kings...

This sumptuous limo is not just a stretched S-class with a Maybach badge—it’s far more lavish than that. The S550's 449-hp 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8 and the S600's 523-hp, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 provide effortless motivation while passengers enjoy hot-stone-style massaging leather recliners. With a tranquil cabin and a Burmester audio system, it’s a rolling concert hall, too. And forget that new-car smell: the air-filtration system infuses the cabin with the Maybach’s own signature fragrance.
