Now that President Barack Obama was officially sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States, today in Washington, it’s time for us to take a look at Barack Obama’s new limo. A week ago, GM came out with the official details of the new Cadillac presidential limousine, and we’re really impressed. With a completely new design from its predecessor, it has a dual-textured grille from the Escalade, side and rear profiles from the DTS and STS, while the inside resembles the interior of a CTS. And though the design is impressive, we’d really love to know a bit about the high tech safety features it comes packed with. Cadillac only said that “the car was designed, developed and tested by specialists who adhered to an extensive set of specifications. It was subjected to an extreme testing regimen to ensure performance that achieves precise functional requirements.” [via SFGate]
Mitsuoka is a Japanese car manufacturer, that just managed to make me drool on my laptop’s keyboard after seeing their Galue S50 Limousine. Looking like it was designed for the Brits to move their luxury asses from one place to another, it’s based on the Infiniti M with inspiration from the ’94 Cadillac Fleetwood, the Rolls-Royce Phantom and the Apple iPhone (see the funky window instead of a B-pillar?). There are two models available. First one is a 8,016,750 yen (some $84,850) 223-hp 250LX limo, while the other one is priced at 9,345,000 yen (some $98,900) and has a 313-hp 350LX 4WD little monster under the hood. Simply beautiful! – via Autoblog
It’s a stretch literally and figuratively - it’s the F360 Modena turned into a 23 foot long limousine with gullwing doors.
Built for limousine company Style Limousine in England at a cost of about $400,000 plus the price of the car, it seats eight people in carbon fiber seats, each with a racing belt harness. Style claims that the standard 395 hp (295 kw) engine will yield a zero to sixty time of less than six seconds.
The limousine uses advanced construction techniques for both the body and the gullwing doors. Much of the bodywork is carbon fiber, as are the doors.
The F360 stretch isn’t the only unique limousine in the Style fleet. It also includes a stretch Hummer painted bright pink, as well as other stretch Hummers, Range Rovers and Chrysler 300s. Then there’s the LimoJet – the fuselage and tail of a Lear Jet converted into a limousine.
