Carlos Gracilis teaches finance, business, and now even luxury cars. Far from acquiring well-known sports brands such as Ferraris or Lamborghinis, this is the fastest car of the Mexican giants.
We cannot deny the influence that the Mexican tycoon has throughout Latin America, where he has conducted many businesses in education, health, transportation, media, energy, and technology. Because of this, Carlos Slim managed to become the richest person in the world between 2010 and 2013, according to the Forbes list.
Due to the size of his money, Gracilis is now considered the richest man in Mexico with a fortune that has reached 80,000 million dollars. Much of its fortune is owed to the majority of Latin American telecommunications giants like “Claro”.
In this context, in the research in which the cars were the favorite of the Aztecs, we found a piece of information that attracted the person writing to them. To the surprise of many, although Carlos Slim has decided not to opt for super-exclusive features that Ferrari or Lamborghini, he has decided to compete in the sports field with modesty but also speed.
We’re talking about the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a 4-door passenger car with wide-width gears with up to 9 speeds and all-wheel drive. Among its comfort elements are AMG sports seats, dual-zone climate control, sound and infrared windows, exterior mirrors with ambient lights and electric adjustment. Its purchase price is around $112,000.
Under its hood rests 455 Horsepower, through a V-8 cylinder gasoline engine capable of reaching maximum power between 5,250 – 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. All this allows it to reach a top speed of 250 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
There are several issues to be analyzed here: the first is that, although Aztec has millions of dollars in his bank account, he decides not to be deprived of the benefits and conveniences of super-expensive brands. The second and most important problem is that it decides to purchase a sports car for only $121,000, but that has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, if that is the case.
