A diesel presidential limo? WOW! Top speed 60mph? That can't be right. Those motorcades have to FLY if something happens.

PETROL tank, diesel engine? 60MPH does seem slow. 160 seems more reasonable.

That thing has sooooo much armour on it that 60 mph has to be downhill with a tail wind. Much like the 240d.

and the driver's window can go down so that he can "pay a toll"?
Somehow I don't think anyone in that motorcade is going to be paying any tolls.

A lot of false info in that article. For starters no way it cost only $300k pounds, add a zero to that.
The armour is also way to thick to be pratical, 5in plate on the bottom? That car would weigh as much as a tank.
