Vlad's New Ride

[Mighty Mike]

I'm sure most of you have heard about the beast. the limo of the President of the United States, but don't think the Russian presidents ride is any less. Unlike The Beast its not based on some ready made cadilliac truck chassis, but a specially made bespoke car made from the ground up. Powered by a 4.6 liter V8 592 Porsche Engine attached to a 9 speed Russian transmission. Not cheap either costing around 85GBP million.

Obviously costing so much, it probably has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, along with the obvious being heavily armoured, jamming devices, air tight with its own oxygen supply, run flat tyres, specail foam cell fuel tank, protected engine bay, but we can only imagine what the full extent of these are are as they are keeping it all under wraps  for obvious security reasons.

Looks like a love child of a Maybach and a Rolls though.

Me and you can no longer be friends! How can you call that Chinese knock off looking thing classier than a Rolls! 

The Rolls is the epitome of class and beauty, inside and out.

I wonder if the very strong resemblance that Vlad's face has with the front end of this car is intentional, or purely coincidental?
