5. It holds seven passengers. At the very least, The Beast has three passengers aboard - the driver, the president's lead Secret Service protective agent in the front passenger seat and, of course, the president himself.

6. It runs on diesel. The Beast is believed to use a Duramax diesel engine closely related to that featured under the hood of Chevrolet and GMC's full-size heavy duty pickup trucks. Why diesel? Aside from the durability associated with diesel engines, the fuel has a low volatility that reduces the risk of it exploding - and it can be found everywhere in the world, unlike high quality unleaded fuel.

The first Ferrari Sergio has arrived in the United Arab Emirates

The first Ferrari Sergio has arrived in the United Arab Emirates

The first Ferrari Sergio has arrived in the United Arab Emirates. It has been delivered today to its new owner, the SBH Royal Auto Gallery in the UAE, at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit, where the Finali Mondiali Ferrari are being staged and which is home to the Ferrari World theme park.( Just six of this limited edition roadster are being build. Very rare…!!!!! )

Each one of the six Ferrari Sergios was configured by its owner in dedicated sessions at the Tailor Made atelier in Maranello where clients are invited to personalise their cars to their own individual tastes. The atelier offers enormous freedom of choice in terms of colours, materials and finishes. As a result, every detail is extremely exclusive, thereby continuing the Prancing Horse tradition begun in the 1950s and 60s of creating bespoke cars minutely tailored to each client’s wishes.

The Sergio is a roadster in style that Pininfarina used in the engineering of the Ferrari 458 Spider

One innovation consists of floats and an aerodynamic headrest attached to the roll rather than the body of the seats, becoming almost elements of the exterior more than the interior

 The aerodynamics have allowed us to achieve more interesting results, starting with the creation of a virtual windshield. The result is that, thanks to the virtual windshield, the air passes above the heads of the driver and the passenger, greatly increasing the comfort. The virtual windscreen is already effective from 50 km/h.

Sergio Ferrari improved a lot and is equipped with a 4.5L V8 engine, 597 horsepower capacity similar to the Ferrari 458 supercar Sergio Whereby can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 3 seconds.

Many news that Sergio Ferrari is priced in the range of 2.5 to 3 million USD.
