What does Queen Elizabeth II get driven in anyway???

Your Magesty Queen Elizabeth II is by no means someone to be looked upon as lowly. She is the Queen of a great Kingdom and You'd only guess that when the Queen goes out, she goes out in class and finnesse. Below is a detailed write-up and some pictures about what Your Magesty pulls when she's out of Bukingham Palace.

The Queen of England Queen Elizabeth II's vehicle is a twin-turbocharged, 6.75-litre V8 engined custom made Bently. This Bently that the Queen Pulls out doesnt have a model name as it was made specially for her by the British Auto-maker. The closests things this car shares with any other mass produced vehicle is it's engine and chasis which are highly modified from the Bentley Arnage.
The Engine, coming from The Arnage's Type-R Powerplant, produces 400 hp and its maximum speed is 210 km/h which is kind of on the slow side. But really though, who is Your Majesty rushing to see? Anybody looking forward to meet the Queen definately would have to wait because Your Majesty wont have to go a Kilometer over 5 to see anybody.

The Bently, refered to as Her Majesty's State Limousine is 17.6 feet Long (2.723 ft longer than a standard Bentley Arnage) 6.5 feet wide and 5.9 feet tall from the ground up. By no means are these dimentions small but it shows that the Queen would have enough space to move about because rumour has it that the Queen is Clustrophobic..(I didn't say Clep...Urggh. Never mind).. This State Limo is Equipped with broad coach doors like those seen on the popular Rolls Royce Phantom but these open to the rear to almost 90 degrees. For protection of its occupants, the bodywork and glass are armoured (obviously) but here's what's special, the cabin can be sealed air-tight in case of any gas attack our dearly beloved World-Cup hosts think they can come up with and its also blast-resistant. The tyres are Kevlar-reinforced and so this means it has a rigid layer of Rubber between the Rim and the Tyre like those seen on Forklifts.That means it can never get flat, Hope You get me.. Opaque panels over the backlight of the car can be installed for either added privacy or removed for added visibility of its passengers.

The State Limousine is equipped with flashing blue lights. Lion ornament is displayed as is Her Majesty's Royal Standard and shield for Scotland which are showed respectively below... Royal Arms of the United Kingdom (Scotland).svgRoyal Standard of the United Kingdom (in Scotland).svg

 The Queens Custom-made Bentley is used mostly on official engagements, and is always escorted by a selection of marked and unmarked Royal Protection Squad vehicles and local police vehicles and motorcycle outriders. The Queen also uses it to travel to church when at Balmoral and Sandringham House. When abroad, the Queen may use other state cars or a vehicle provided by her hosts.

Like all British state cars, this Bentley has a mount on its roof for an illuminated coat-of-arms and a pennant, which can be inserted from inside the vehicle. These usually feature the royal coat of arms and the Royal Standard respectively, although other symbols can be used for occasions such as a state visit. When the Queen is on board, the Bentley "Flying B" bonnet ornament is either replaced by the Queen's personal mascot of Saint George slaying the dragon or a single standing Lion, which is used in Scotland. The limousines are equipped with flashing blue lights, two in the grill and two on the front bumper. This State Limousine does not have number plates. The Bentley is claret and black like all the British state limousines formely and currently in use.

In January 2009, it was announced that both Bentley State Limousines(it's clone) would be converted to run on Bio-Fuel.
The vehicle was showcased at the 2013 Coronation Festival in Buckingham Palace Gardens.
The two limousines are said to be valued at 10 million GBP each (N4 billion a piece)...
