Car crazy Maithri’s sons-in-law

WEDNESDAY, 13 JANUARY 2016

One of President Maithripala Sirisena’s sons-in-law has ordered two of the most expensive Maybach limousines considered as an icon of luxury and one of the most expensive vehicles in the world say reports. The cost of one of the vehicles exceeds US$1 million which is nearly Rs. 140 million.

The car with 523-hp, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 provides effortless motivation while passengers enjoy hot-stone massaging. Considered as the world’s quietest car and with a standard Burmester audio system, the S600 is a rolling concert hall as well. It can reach a speed of 100 km in 5 seconds and could do above 300 kmph.

Mr. Maithripala Sirisena, who severely criticized the manner Rajapaksa sons behaved during Mahinda Rajapaksa regime and asked a mandate from the people against such conduct, being criticized by the public for the same type of behavior by his family member is a talking point in political circles.
