Being one of the most luxurious, expensive and state-of-the-art cars available in India, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has earned a cult status for itself. Due to its stratospheric asking price, owning a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is not everyone’s cup of tea. It might take years of hard work or fortune to own one, which is the reason why many of its owners are celebrities or middle-aged or older businessmen. However, a 33-year-old man now holds the record of becoming the youngest owner of a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
Recently, a person named Abhishek ‘Monty’ Agarwal, aged 33, became a proud owner of a Mercedes-Maybach S 680, which made him the youngest owner of the car in India. Abhishek, who is the founder of one of India’s biggest fashion houses Purple Style Labs, took the delivery of the flagship luxury saloon in Mumbai. The images of Abhishek taking the delivery of the Maybach S 680 were shared by celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani on Instagram.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 680 delivered to Abhishek Agarwal is seen with a Bharat registration plate, which allows one to shift through all the states in India without any hassle and need of changing the registration plate. In addition to this, the car also gets a few luxury add-ons opted for by Abhishek, something which most of the owners of Mercedes-Maybach do.
