Whether they like it or not, it is the case that neither the President nor the Vice President of the United States can drive a car. It is not something that is legislated, but it acts as a rule imposed by the American SÄPO.
The rule came into being shortly after JFK was shot dead in a Lincoln. Having said that, the president is still allowed to drive on his own land and in closed areas, something George Bush is careful about.

Donald Trump’s old Lamborghini was sold at auction for just over 10 million kroner at the beginning of this year.
That makes the car one of the most expensive Diablos on the market. The color, Blu Le Mans, wasn’t actually available to order in 1997 when Trump bought it new, but he is said to have good connections.

Trump seems to like cars with a lot of power and luxury. One of these is the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which is one of the German brand’s most exclusive and unknown models.
In 2003, only 370 copies came to the US, one of which belonged to Trump. The average price of an SLR McLaren is just over SEK 3.5 million.

That Trump has a Phantom is not surprising. It is often described as the ultimate luxury car, something we can sign off on. With a base price of just over six million kroner for a new car, it belongs to the automotive world’s finest.

Among Trump’s cars, there are some pieces that are so American it’s surprising. One of these is a Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.
It’s painted like the Pace Cars used in the 60s – in red and white – and in muscle car circles they’re definitely sought after.

The Allante was meant to be the Yankees’ answer to European luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz SL. It wasn’t quite as successful as Cadillac had hoped, but if there’s one car you can truly imagine Trump in, it’s this one

There are several American cars in Donald Trump’s stable. Among them you will also find a Tesla Roadster, something that may come as a surprise.
It’s probably mainly because Trump doesn’t feel like an electric car guy. Having said that, he has developed a good relationship with the man behind Tesla, Elon Musk.
