A separation divider allows Pranab to have privacy and partition his area of the limousine off from others. A leader has got to have some down time to himself, after all. Moreover, this car is super safe, with heavy armor and protection, the strength and durability to withstand a grenade and an AK 47, and of course, the typical GPS and satellite navigation. Forget about riding in a tuk-tuk or on an elephant!

Now let’s head back over to Asia and go see the Maybach 62 in Malaysia. After a hiatus, the Maybach is back and ready to roll.

Picnic tables, safety features, and the latest technology that money can buy round out this luxury vehicle. You can bet that not everyone is riding around in this beautiful beast, but if you have nearly $400,000, you could be one of them. It may have only been a couple of years since the recurrence of the Maybach, but it is a force to be reckoned with.
6. UK – Jaguar XJ Sentinel $455,025
Hop aboard the Jaguar XJ Sentinel, the official vehicle for the Prime Minster of the United Kingdom. The Prime Ministerial Car is custom armored and outfitted with a supercharged 5-liter V8 engine.

There is an oxygen supply in case of disaster, and the vehicle is also able to withstand tear gas.

As far an entertainment is concerned, the vehicle includes a DVD and CD system, refrigerator and wine chiller, as well as a center console with all of the latest tech accoutrements. There is nothing ordinary about these limousines, and their high performance and luxury appearance is the best of both worlds. If you have a spare half a million dollars lying around, you should definitely check out the Maybach 62.
4. Vatican – Mercedes-Benz M-Class $524,990
better believe that Pope Francis travels in style. The Vatican leader rides around in his Popemobile, waving to believers and kissing babies. The Pontiff continues to follow tradition with a Mercedes-Benz automobile, this one belonging to the M-Class.
It seems a bit weird that Pope Francis, who insists on living a life of poverty, has a Popemobile worth over half a million dollars. But, we’ll let that slide. Anyway, the vehicle is custom-built, designed with a protective enclosure and barrier, and while normally ambles down the street at a snail’s pace, can break the speedometer at over 160 miles per hour.
3. China – Hongqi Limousine $801,624

Here are some specs on the Hongqi Limousine: and 8-speed transmission and four turbo-charged V8 engines with 530 pounds of torque and 381 horsepower. This baby will go from zero to one hundred kilometers in just over 8 seconds, and it can reach a maximum speed of 220 kilometers per hour.
Thanks to its presence in China and its relationship to government leaders, the Hongqi fleet of vehicles has become a long sought-after luxury item in the Chinese market.
2. United States – Cadillac One $1,500,000
When the President of the United States of America wants to get around, he hops into the Cadillac One. This is the official state car, and is manufactured by General Motors. The United States has been using presidential vehicles for about 80 years, but this one is a beauty.
The current model is a limousine-style Cadillac and is, of course, fully armored to protect the Commander in Chief, currently, President Barack Obama. Get this: the Cadillac One has a stash of blood in it to match the President’s blood type. There’s also an oxygen tank, just in case of emergency. And for those late-night, top-secret limousine cruises, the Cadillac One is equipped with night vision, too.
1. Queen of England – Bentley State Limousine $15,167,500

This baby is outfitted with everything a royal woman could need. Queen Elizabeth II can sit pretty in this vehicle, which was created as a 50th anniversary edition of the iconic automotive brand. Since the Queen is getting up there in age, the doors of the Bentley can swing open at a 90-degree angle, and a “panoramic glasshouse” means that she can get a nice easy view of her adoring fans and the common folk. Top-notch security features keep her safe and sound.
