Segun Agbaje, the MD of GTBank has reportedly taken delivery of a Mercedes S560 Maybach car which costs about N100million
Despite the fact that GTBank is restricting the access its customers have to foreign exchange, including their own foreign exchange in their own personal and corporate accounts, and in addition to the general economic downturn which has led to increased layoffs, salary reductions, and general economic hardship, CEO of GTBank (rumored to be the incoming chairman of GTBank Holdings), Segun Agbaje has splurged on a $180,000 Mercedes S560 Maybach edition in Magnetite Black Metallic colour.
Converted to Naira, this vehicle costs a whopping N82 million and after shipping and Customs duty payments, would be well more than N120 million.
The stunning Mercedes Benz motorcar with personalized license plates “S007” was spotted outside one of Lagos most expensive brunch café’s close to GTBank HQ in Lagos. S007 is a fitting name for the vanity plates, as even James Bond who uses an Aston Martin DB9 from time to time would be blown away by such wonder on wheels as is the Mercedes Maybach.
Mr. Agbaje’s S560 comes with Vanity Plates James Bond will identify with.
According to carbuzz.com, some of the luxurious features of this vehicle include: 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 Gas engine, The front apron also features chrome inserts, and the multi-element LED headlights feature Maybach’s signature Stardust effect.

Optional interior features include folding tables for the rear seats, heated and cooled rear cupholders, a refrigerator box for the rear cabin, and even a set of handcrafted silver champagne flutes.
