Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has invented a sleek James Bond-style car, which Libya says is the safest vehicle on earth.
The car was unveiled on the 30th anniversary of the revolution which propelled the Libyan leader to power.
The Saroukh el-Jamahiriya (Libyan rocket) a five-passenger saloon in a metallic Libyan revolutionary green with tinted windows, was launched at a special summit of the Organisation of African Unity organised by Colonel Gaddafi.
The car has the aerodynamic lines of conventional models but the front and rear ends are rocket-shaped.
The interior is replete with air bags, an inbuilt electronic defence system, and a collapsible bumper which protects passengers in head-on collisions.

"The leader spent so many hours of his valuable time thinking of an effective solution. It is the safest car produced anywhere," Mr Meghareff said.
"The invention of the safest car in the world is proof that the Libyan revolution is built on the happiness of man."
A high speed rocket car built by Libyans.........what could possibly go wrong?
But can it outrun F-111s?
“Henry Ford “ Gaddafi?
And isn’t the Libyan navy mostly unintended submarines-?!
The car was unveiled on the 30th anniversary of the revolution which propelled the Libyan leader to power.
Gaddafi seized power in a coup that was his idea, but according to the BBC he just happened to come to power in a revolution. Sheesh.
“The leader spent so many hours of his valuable time thinking of an effective solution. It is the safest car produced anywhere,” Mr Meghareff said.
yeah that would be more impressive if we knew it could move
Of course, you would have to be in the upper sahara when it takes off, for the roominess of the road and all.

The driver could prematurely jihadulate!
Premature Jihadulation...what will the 72 virgins think...
Lol, that stupid SOB didn't invent anything. The people who really built it are probably sleeping with the fishes right now. So Moomoomar can say anything he wants and there is no possibility anyone will come forward to contradict him. This reminds me of the Ceausescus of Romania. Billed themselves as the smartest, most academically accomplished people in the world, but were total frauds. Moomoomar better start small before tackling something like a rocket car, maybe a camel pooper scooper or somethink like that.
Next to be seen as the new “Car Czar” of the Obama administration with NO Congressional oversight (not that it would help now)
Who need airbags when you've got the latest built-in VB-IED technology. One collision and BOOM - you don't feel a thing.
30th year anniversary? The revolution was 1969, no?
Now I have one question; Is it safe? Is it? Against Predators, Reapers and Strikers…and other UAVs.
If he lets the Stig test it and the world’s best car show, Top GEar, have at it, I’ll be watching....
