The world’s most powerful and influential leaders require the world’s most powerful motor vehicles. Normal road vehicles are designed with the primary function in mind to get someone from point A to point B in a safe and efficient manner. However, the more important the person is that’s travelling, the safer the vehicle should be. Making a vehicle safe and powerful means using strong materials for the chassis, along with high tech defensive equipment, in case of an attack or incident. The case is no different for the world’s elite and one common approach to providing world leaders with powerful vehicles is taking an existing vehicle, i.e. a Mercedes Sedan, and completely renovating it for protective purposes. That includes a robust exterior, along with a luxury interior. Here is a list of 5 extraordinary cars made for powerful and influential people, in order of price.
