Netanyahu's New Car Comes With Anti-Grenade Defense System
Ynet News ^ | October 28, 2010

Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's the prime minister's new luxury car - while the Prime Minister's Office is on the lookout for a new plane for Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister will be receiving a gift with a price tag that leaves it nothing to be ashamed of - his new official car.

The armored limousine version of the Audi A8 is manufactured mainly for presidents and prime ministers and is considered the most expensive car in Israel. The price tag: One million dollars. The first one is making its way to Israel, where it will soon be joined by two more - all three will be joining the ranks of the prime minister's convoy, at a total cost of roughly $3 million.

As reported by Yedioth Ahronoth Thursday, the Audi A8 that has been designated to serve Netanyahu includes a unique security package crafted in cooperation with the Shin Bet's bodyguard unit. The unit even blew up one car during experiments it held in Israel in order to test the car's endurance to various threats, including small arms and roadside bombs.

They really shouldn’t be publicly discussing the defense features of any high official’s vehicles.

Thanks Fennie.

My car has one. The terrorist is about to throw the grenade, then gets a good look at my car, and sez to himself, “wow, somebody’s already done this b-.”
