As Hardline Brexiteer Boris Johnson take the keys to the controversial residence in 10 Downing Street today, the new Prime Minister, just like his predecessor--Theresa May, will also take the keys to the chauffeur-driven Prime Ministerial car --- an armoured Jaguar XJ Sentinel.

Johnson, a former Mayor of London and British Foreign Secretary, known for driving around in cars like Toyota Previa and Citroen AX, will now be ferried around with a luxury car that boasts of heated and cooled rear massage seats, night vision, a 20 speaker Dolby 7.1 surround sound system, two HD televisions and a state-of-the-art communication system for conference calls.



The 3.3 tonnes B7 level/VPAM9 classified Sentinel also doubles as a rolling fortress, as it can withstand a blast from 15kg of high explosives and sustained gun and grenade attacks.

Just like the U.S Beasts and Russian made Aurus Senat, the British-made luxury car is also equipped with an independent, self-contained oxygen supply to protect the Prime Minister and other engers against chemical or biological attack. It can also release tear gas and other crowd dispersants when the need arises.



The Sentinel is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine producing 503 bhp. This engine will take this humongous car from standstill to 60mph in 9.4 seconds and a top speed of speed of 121 miles per hour (195 km/h).

The current fleets, which are estimated to have cost up to £300,000 or about ₦136m, was first seen in use on 13 May 2010, when newly appointed Prime Minister David Cameron arrived at 10 Downing Street. The armoured Jaguar Sentinel is escorted by Range Rover or Land Rover Discovery vehicles and police motorcade outriders.

One day Innoson will make our presidential vehicles.......

Buhari needs to start using Innoson

Dead country forming nonsense UK the abode of African criminal leaders! Useless nation that harbors corrupt leaders from Africa!!!

They should thank God for stupid, corrupt African country leaders looting Africa dry to hide in their rot smelling falling nation

If they are not corrupt and clean like they always portray, let them ban corrupt African leaders like Buhari, etc and their families from entering UK to waste Nigeria's scarce resources and to hide their stolen loots


Dead country with dying economy and hungry citizens relying on stolen moneys from corrupt African and Middle East leaders!

UK burial ceremony is getting closer, they can't escape it since they derive joy in destroying black African nations and also helping corrupt African leaders to destroy Africa!!

Brexit will be the beginning of their burial as a nation!

To tell you how wicked UK is to black Africans, Britain colonised Nigeria, Ghana, etc for decades and forced Nigeria to make English our official language which we use in all our national activities including schooling.

Yet the same wicked UK will turnaround to force Nigerians to write IELTs (English test) before they can allow Nigerians study or work in their dying country just to milk Nigerians

But when they come to Nigeria to work or reside they hear what Nigerians say, they communicate with Nigerians freely but when it is the turn of Nigerians to enter their country, they that Nigerians need to learn to Speak/write English, and hence they force Nigerians to write English test yet they make Nigerians and other nations spend fortune running Commonwealth of Nations. What's the benefit of Commonwealth of Nations if an English speaking member like Nigeria still requires to pay and write English test to study or work in dead UK

IELTs English test should be for non English speaking countries, and those Francophone countries; it shouldn't be for Nigeria that speak English as their official language. Most Britons can't even write good English compared to Nigerians yet they force Nigerians to write English test just to milk Nigerians.

They allow South Africans who speak English with Swahili tongue just because of the Dutch whites in South Africa, are South Africans better in English communication than Nigerians

If truly their IELTS English test is for good, then I ask, does ing IELTs English test make a Nigerian automatically speak English like Britons

If I happen to become Nigeria's President someday, I will ban Queen Elizabeth and UK Prime Minister and all their government officials from coming into Nigeria without writing Igbo or Hausa or Yoruba test, and I will also make sure any Nigerian government official that visits UK never returns back to Nigeria, including their family until they start treating Nigerians fairly, what nonsense

I don't like the car. Doesn't look good enough for a man of his status.

United Kingdom a strong ally to corrupt politicians as they benefit alot from the frivolities of our leaders, needless to say they are corrupt too nice car

martineverest:

Good question.
Have you heard of multiplier effect of money circulating in an economy instead of leaking out to others

In of presidential cars, there is change indeed. While GEJ was riding an ordinary Mercedes-Benz S 350, Muhammadu Buhari prefers much more expensive and luxury model – Mercedes-Maybach S600.

While both Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari prefer Mercedes-Benz, it seems that Jonathan’s taste in cars is much more simplistic than Buhari’s.

Jonathan attended the ceremony of Buhari’s presidential inauguration inside an ordinary Mercedes-Benz S 350.

Muhammadu Buhari enjoys rides in much more comfortable and luxury Mercedes model after stepping into the presidential office – Mercedes-Maybach S600.

This car represents the top notch in the latest sixth generation of luxury Mercedes-Benz special class cars, labelled by company as the W222, while GEJ’s car belongs to the previous fifth generation –the W221.

Mercedes-Benz representatives describe Mercedes-Maybach S600 as “an extra highlight in the luxury segment.”

Available luxury appointments over and above what was offered in the W221 include a choice of massage type for each seat occupant, while the W221 offered various intensities of a single massage type.

Mercedes-Maybach S600 in base-line configuration costs around $258,000 or N51.6 million, while the price for the new Mercedes-Benz S 350 is only $135,000 or N27 million.

Upgraded versions of these cars for world leaders cost tens of thousands dollars more than their base-line configuration, but include the capability to withstand small arms fire and explosive devices, and a self-sealing fuel tank.
There have been huge scandals related to expensive car purchases under Jonathan’s rule.

of a committee handpicked by President Goodluck Jonathan to investigate the purchase of two BMW armored cars at a whopping cost of $1.6 million were intensely pressured by the former president to deliver a watery recommendation that exonerates Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah.
The committee set up to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted the Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.
