The future ride of the President: Fiat 500 Electric Limo?

fiat-500-limopresidential-by-italian-coachbuilder-castagna-milanoWhen you think of a presidential car, you might be thinking of what US President Obama’s black Cadillac code named The Beast. Recently, an Italian firm has been making some buzz as It tries to come up with a stretch limousine for the president in the form of he Fiat 500 electric limo.

Castagna Milano can actually deliver this Fiat 500 based ride call LimoPresidential in your garage as long as you got the bank account for it.

The carmaker combines a pair of electric motors which can bring the limousine to about 100 miles per hour and makes sure it has a big enough battery pack to bring the discerning occupants to around 160 miles enjoying all the luxury the vehicle has to offer.

The LimoPresidential is double the length of the Fiat 500. The all electric ride of course decreases its originial maneuverability because of the new longer configuration but it boasts of agility over uneven surfaces compared to what President Obama rides.

Although it looks all elegant in black just a real presidential car, the Italian made limousine does not have the tons of provisions like bomb proof body, bulletproof windows, tires that can run on flat, and oxygen supply for the occupants compared to the Beast. You might have to spend more if you want to come any closer to that setup.

The limousine manufacturer offers variations of the concept in the form of the LimoSun and the LimoCity but we still doubt that these will end rolling out of the White House or even on the Las Vegas Strip. You might be asking why? The car manufacturer is the same firm which provided fallen dictator Qadaffi his electric Fiat 500. And we know you heard how his story ended.
