Saroukh el-Jamahiriya
Launched in 1999 by Libya’s former leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi invented this rocket car to be the safest car in Africa and the world. The five-passenger saloon car has an inbuilt electronic defense system, a collapsible bumper which protects passengers in head-on collisions, as well as an interior that is designed with airbags to make it extremely safe.
The car is 17 feet long, over six feet wide comes with a 3-litre, V-6 gasoline engine. It also has the ability to run hundreds of miles on a flat tire, and can easily cut off fuel supply in case of fire.
The prototype of the car cost 2 million euros, it was intended that it would be mass produced at 50,000 euros.
