On September 15, before the second model of Turkey's domestic car, the TOGG T10F, went on sale, it was gifted to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Erdoğan conducted a test drive of the T10F at the Dolmabahçe Working Office. Following the test drive, Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır and TOGG Chairman of the Board Fuat Tosyalı presented their official gift to President Erdoğan.
THE FIRST TOGG DELIVERY WAS MADE TO THE ERDOĞAN COUPLE
In the past, TOGG brand vehicles had also been gifted to Erdoğan and his wife. It was stated that these gifts were a special presentation made to the President and his family.
Social media users drew attention to the Mercedes-Benz S 600 Guard (W222) official vehicle, valued at 36 million lira, which began to be used in 2021, rather than the domestic TOGG given to Erdoğan. It is stated that this vehicle is one of the vehicles Erdoğan uses while in office.
CLAIM OF A 550 MILLION LIRA LIMOUSINE GIFT
According to another claim brought to the agenda by NOW Haber in 2024, a limousine worth 550 million lira had been gifted to Erdoğan by a foreign head of state. This claim was subsequently denied, and it was stated that the vehicle had been sold.
CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır also joined these discussions.
Showing a photograph of the 550 million lira limousine given to Erdoğan, Başarır reacted by saying, "The official vehicle is 550 million lira, the amount he gives to retirees is 2,500 lira. They say the vehicle was a gift. I wish he could be as generous to his retirees as foreign states are to Mr. Tayyip."
