Now is the time to stage a coup in a small African state rich with resources, plunder hard and fast, set yourself up as top-guy-for-life (look, it’s not that far-fetched) and get the wheels to go with the deal.
Why now, you might ask? Well, Mercedes-Benz has just given its luxury limo a mild makeover, the fabled Mercedes-Benz made Maybach S-Class Pullman has some additions to the interior to dispel any doubts that the plebs who voted you into power might have about your status as a demi-god.
Obviously crafted for the Superclass, the Maybach sports a new grille with fine vertical struts inspired by the pinstripe suit worn by the Wall Street mob, while the 20-inch wheels are exclusive to the marque.
The limo is 6.5 metres long, and there’s no trouble with legroom in the rear, with two business-class chairs facing forward, and two slightly less fancy chairs facing backwards, lest your staff get any delusions while they keep you updated as to the status of the offshore bank balances.
IT'S A BEAUTY: The six-litre bi-turbo engine pushes 463kW
There’s even a VIP option, with two lounge chairs and all the legroom you could ever want. Then, of course, there’s a sliding partition that separates the driver from the rear seating. Obviously you wouldn’t want your schemes, plots and other nefarious activities overheard.
Even with the partition raised, you can keep an eye on the road via a front-view camera and screen. Last thing you want is to be overthrown at a roadblock by the next guy in line for the dictatorship, and not even see it coming.
You and your driver can even listen to different tunes, as there are two separate audio sources.
FANCIED: Enough legroom with two business-class seats
The standard six-litre bi-turbo shunts a pretty decent 463kW, and as you can imagine, this makes any incline, so long as it’s tar, effortless.
Just remember to set aside at least a half million euro from your first resource grab, and you’re styling.
