Hypothetical- GRM presidential limo

Ok, hypothetical time. Some GRM member gets elected to president, or takes power in some crazy scheme, I don't know. As supreme leader of whatever, the president needs protection from, lets say, a coalition of prius owners who believe all cars must be slow and have automatic transmissions. Like, bad ones too. They also want to declare all cars must be beige and outlaw modifying and servicing your own. How would GRM make a presidential limo (does not have to be a limo) on a budget?

LS powered miatas and the pres. drives himself? (going here for the outrun-the-baddies approach)

Armor up an old van, put a twin turbo 460 in it, and add a bunch of fireworks launchers to it because 'murica?

Basically anything has to be cheaper than the actual presidential limo, but bonus points for cheapness. Assume labor is free because, as ruler of all (not president, but actual benevolent overlord or whatever) you will host a bunch of GRMers in the white house and supply us with unlimited refreshments, housing, and weekly whitehouse lawn rallycrosses as payment.

Further bonus points if the new presidential transport somehow reflects the purposes/propaganda/policies of your government.

This +2.4+AWD+Ken Block.

hte "protection" aspect comes from all the little girly men passing out before they can harm the president because it so offends their sensibilities..

In reply to novaderrik:

The MaDuece on the roof of the accompanying presidential bus plays absolutely no role other than make noise.

I think i'd base something on my old econoline:

but a much bigger engine, probably a one ton frame, and how many turbos has someone stuck on an engine? Is 4 the max so far?

Armor that up, add a bunch of headlights, possibly a ram, and add a bunch of james bond style spy stuff to it- guns behind the headlights, oil slick (it does that one already ) and replace the cooler inside with a drinks fridge.

It already has a bench, table, and reversing captains chairs in the middle. I could have 5 person conferences in the back in transit to save time. Lots of space for other stuff the president might need as well.

I think I would also tell Boeing to put the 747 on hold and start developing me a smaller air force one based on a B17, but updated a bit. must be propeller powered, and no fewer guns than the original (but new guns).

Feel free to come up with many awesome ideas, the president has a whole motorcade (including 2 limos) at any time, plus you gotta bet there are backup limos somewhere...

This is what I was picturing before I was halfway through the OP. Great minds!

Either

New idea. This:

plus wood paneling.

LSx plus turbos, snorkel intake for some reason, skid plates, and the whole roof must be a giant solar panel. this will be used to win support away from the angry eco political party, showing our support for solar power. it will actually only power a drinks fridge in the back.

Just keep driving the current one. The cheapest car is the one you already own right? Plan b is a flat black 2 1/2 ton with some armor, weapon system, and office space.
