  • The choice of wheels ranges from a Cadillac nicknamed ‘The Beast’ to three variations on the Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman, a Bentley, a Hongqi L5, an Aurus Senat and Toyota Century Royal

Many world leaders travel in style, using armoured luxury vehicles to get around.

While some opt for sedans or SUVs, others use limousines, including custom Bentleys and Cadillacs. The US President Donald Trump rides in a US$1.5 million Cadillac nicknamed “The Beast”. And Queen Elizabeth received a custom-built Bentley 50 years after becoming the queen of England.

These are eight of the limousines used by world leaders.
