World’s 10 Best Presidential Fleets by Nobody: 4:51pm On May 11, 2016
1. Obama’s Cadillac One aka The Beast

It’s said to be a mobile bunker, everybody knows the Beast’s capabilities; bomb proof, completely sealed interior to protect US president from chemical and biological attacks, carries the president’s blood in case of emergency etc, etc.
The Beast is simply the ultimate limo for any head of state or/and government, though only American president can have one.

2. Queen Elizabeth's Bentley State Limousine

Bentley is the official ride for the royal family in Britain. But Queen Elizabeth has her own special Bentley.
The armored Bentley has special features that include; transparent passenger rooftop, special internal cabin height allowing the queen to stand upright while exiting the vehicle.
And just like Obama’s beast, the Queen’s Bentley State Limousine is the only one created. Even if you have all the money, you can’t buy one.

4. Russian Presidential Limo

Russian President is uses armored Mercedes S-Class stretched limousine which has solid rubber tires and it’s also flown wherever the head of state goes.
But President Vladimir Putin ordered a new beautiful design of the presidential limo that will make the Beast look like a bad joke.
Russian companies have been working on several prototypes for a new presidential limousine, two designs have been settled on and they are arguably most beautiful automobiles ever.

So I couldn't get my hands on the pix of the presidential car fleets so I decided to to look for the air fleet.

Nigeria
Official Car
The President of Nigeria and other high profile government officials use a black armored Mercedes Benz S-Class 2012 adorned with the Nigerian flag and official party flag. Other luxury cars, like the BMW 730Ld and the Range Rover, all armoured, are used. The President travels in a motorcade of 30 cars and ten escort motorcycles, along with police cars and 6 Mercedes S-550 of SSS surrounding the presidents car
Presidential Jet
