Many world leaders travel in style, using armored luxury vehicles to get around.

While some opt for sedans or SUVs, others use limousines, including custom Bentleys and Cadillacs. The US President Donald Trump, for example, rides in a $1.5 million Cadillac nicknamed “the Beast.” And Queen Elizabeth II received a custom-built Bentley 50 years after becoming the queen of England.

These are eight of the limousines used by world leaders.
