President Obama’s new Cadillac Limousine

This is the all-new custom-made limousine built especially for the 44th President of the United States of America, Barak Obama. Aptly named the Presidential Limousine, it continues the strong bond with US carmaker Cadillac in producing a state-of-the-art luxury car for the US President.
The inauguration, which took place at the Capitol building in Washington on Tuesday 20 January, saw Barack Obama arriving in style, in his new Presidential Limousine. His Cadillac is a completely new design, featuring all the latest Cadillac styling cues, and an interior fully equipped for presidential use.
Unsurprisingly, details of the new limo's extensive security features remain shrouded in the utmost secrecy - as they have done throughout what's been described as "an extreme testing regime". The car clearly has to withstand virtually any kind of attempt on the new President's life - we won't be finding out how it works anytime soon.
Luxury and security…

But, we can tell you that the cabin area Obama will occupy includes an "extensive executive compartment". This features seating for important meetings on the go, a good view of the outside world (through several inches of bulletproof glass, no doubt), and "useful mobile office features".
The presidential seal is embroidered on the rear seatback and door panels, and also displayed on the outside of the rear doors. Two flags are flown on the front fenders whenever the President is in residence - so to speak - the US national flag on the right, the presidential standard on the left.
Secret Service call it 'the beast'

LED spotlights illuminate these flags at night - demonstrating the Cadillac is more high-tech than its appearance might suggest. Flashing strobe and emergency lighting will almost certainly built in, along with run flat tyres, and immense armoured plating. Don't expect the windows to open. It is also likely to be four-wheel drive.
Changes compared to the previous presidential car, the 2004 Cadillac DTS Presidential Limousine used by President George W. Bush, include a more upright stance for better visibility. But otherwise Obama's new ride is of similar size and proportion. The US Secret Service reputedly refers to these heavyweight machines as 'the beast'.
While earlier presidential Cadillacs were modified and adapted by specialist independent limousine companies, since 1993 Cadillac and parent company General Motors have carried out all of the work in-house. "Cadillac is again honoured to provide a new Presidential Limousine," said Mark McNabb, North American vice president of Cadillac.

2005 Volvo 3CC Concept

This state of the art electric Volvo sports car features a body consisting of a single piece of carbon fiber, forming an extremely strong shell. This enhances chassis rigidity and thus handling. Particularly innovative is a unique two-plus-one configuration, providing seating for two adults in the front and a rear seat for an additional adult or two children.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1989 Aston Martin Vantage Volante

In place of genuinely new models, and in what eventually became standard practice for constantly-cash-strapped Aston Martin, the cleanly styled V8 gradually sprouted a variety of increasingly wild body mods and numerous, even larger engine conversions reaching a peak with the rather vulgar Vantage and Vantage Volante 6.3.
Prince Charles stuck with the marque, however, and even ordered a hot convertible for himself, albeit without the tacky side skirts and flared wheel arches. The less-is-more idea caught on, and a handful of replicas were later built in what is still known as Prince of Wales specification.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1974 Aston Martin Lagonda

Britain's first Royal undergraduate, in October 1967 Prince Charles arrived at Trinity College, Cambridge in a red chauffeur-driven Mini. His taste in motors soon moved upmarket, however, since when he's been seen in a variety of Aston Martins, including this rare Lagonda.
Essentially a stretched, four-door version of the standard V8 saloon, the idea appealed enormously to company boss and Lagonda fan David Brown but only seven were completed before the project was canned in 1976. With an extra 11 inches in the wheelbase the ride was better than the standard car, but it remained unwieldy with a mammoth 45 feet turning circle.
