United States Versus Nigerian Presidential Car by milestonejnr(m): 1:20am On Jan 23, 2015
Hey guys!
Today, I wanna compare the official state cars of two prominent countries - USA and Nigeria...yes, Nigeria... it is a prominent country in case you don't know.
Wikipedia have it that an official state car is the car used by a government to transport its head of state or head of government in an official capacity, which may also be used occasionally to transport other members of the government or visiting dignitaries from other country.

As a matter of national security, many information about the American presidential car is kept secret. I was able to get few info that I could lay my hands on.

CAR NAME AND MAKE

USA: Chevrolete Kodiak-based, Cadillac-badged Limousine... Manufactured by General Motors Company (GMC)

NIGERIA: Mercedes Benz S600L 2012 model adorned with the Nigerian flag and official party flag.. Manufactured by German Mercedes Benz.

NICKNAME

USA: The Beast, Cadillac one, Limo one.

NIGERIA: I dont think there is one for it...who get that kind time sef.

MILEAGE

USA: It drinks fuel like juice at a massive rate of 8 miles per gallon.

NIGERIA: I5 miles per gallon for city and 25 mpg for highway.

BENEATH THE HOOD
USA: I can't really tell

NIGERIA: 5.5 liter, Turbocharged 12-cylinder engine that delivers 510 Horsepower @ 5000 RPM

PRICE
USA: It cost more than $1 million

NIGERIA: Ranges from $46,496 to $48,088

SECURITY AND TECH

USA:

It is probably the most armored vehicle with windows on this planet earth.
The inside of the car is sealed from outside. It has no business with oxygen coming from outside of the car; they use oxygen tank. This is to the risk of biochemical attack which maybe airborne.
Its has a special night vision camera.
The car is driven by a specially trained secret agent who can do wonders on wheels.
Runs on diesel for durability and maybe to have high torque at a low rev and also because this diesel has low volatility which reduces the risk of the car exploding.
Kevlar-reinforced run-flat tires and steel wheels that works even without tires

NIGERIA:

Back-up camera
Keyless entry
Rear packing aid with trip computer
Navigation system

WEIGHT AND ACCELERATION

USA: The Beast has an estimated weight of about 20000 lbs, hit 0-60 mph in 15 seconds...if i must say, it has a poor acceleration. It tops out at 60 mph.

NIGERIA: The German machine weighs 4960 lbs and it hits 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds... that's a sharp acceleration. It tops out at 230 km/h

*Both are armored
*Both are all not alone. They have fleet of sharp cars escorting them.
*The US presidential car has an airplane that hauls the beast.
*The beast may be called Cadillac but it has little to do with the name tagged on it.
*I thinks the Beast is so equipped to avoid the the repetition of the incidence in Dallas which claimed John Kennedy's life.

Its actually lower than that. Nigerian presidential official car is bullet proof bespoke, so the added weight and security proofing will show in its MPG

BENEATH THE HOOD
USA: I can't really tell

NIGERIA: 5.5 liter, Turbocharged 12-cylinder engine that delivers 510 Horsepower @ 5000 RPM
Since the presidential official car is bearing extra mass, its engine will experience serious tuning to up its power and torque so as to effectively carry its burden.

PRICE
USA: It cost more than $1 million

NIGERIA: Ranges from $46,496 to $48,088

Gotcha! So you went to read edmunds.com USED price list for 2012 S class. Sorry bro, Nigerian presidents Never used a USED official car. Their cars are all brand new. The unamoured version of the 2012 s class goes for MSRP: $92,550 - $159,500 brand new. But wait, I said the presidential official car is amoured. It could easily rise to $1m to get a B6+ and above amour rating.

Nb: b6+ is the highest amour rating for civilians. A president can easily get a B7 (multi-shot)NIJ: IV+ rating.

NIGERIA:

Read B6+ amouring in cars. But I can tell you, a lot of things aren't listed. Those you list are even found in a 2008 camry and in an E class 2010 its almost standard so therefore an S class is more tech savvy from factory with all the bells and whistles blowing, not to mention when the car is amoured.

Its got its amour and bevy of safety plus its evacuation tools to the tip so its got extra weight, higher 0-60mph dash.
For an amoured car, its top end speed has been deactivated. For the non amoured V12 S600 it could easily do 250km/hr if delimited.
