Colonel Muammar Gadhafi has regularly been internationally recognized for his colorful comfort sense, sleeping in Bedouin tents wherever he goes, wearing outrageous provocative clothing, being seen with heavily armed virgin female bodyguards (The Green Nuns), arming himself with golden weapons, and ordering the FN-2000 bullpup exotic rifle for his bodyguards, only to name a few of his eccentric ways. And the summary of Gadhafi’s oddities is a car he initially designed for himself, that Libya claims is a safest vehicle on earth with future intention of starting up a national car industry. The Saroukh el-Jamahiriya, that equates to Libyan Rocket, is a five-seat tavern of Libyan luxury with an aerodynamic nose and tail of a sculpted bullet and powered by a 230bhp 3.0 litre V6 for fuel economy. Launched at a discussion called The Organization of African Unity and promoted by Colonel Gadhafi in 2009, the Libyan Rocket comes with 6 airbags, an electronic invulnerability complement (stealth materials mixed with electronic interference) and collapsible bumpers with frame architecture that presumably assists in any crash situation.. The internal “electronic invulnerability system” remains an enigma for now as apparently, not a single person knows how it works. The fate of the car has not been disclosed yet. To his credit Col. Gadhafi also designed several models of future Libyan cities to move the nation's tribes into, but he siphoned off over $200 billion from the nation over time for himself and never realized any of the positive things that would have improved his worldwide image and promoted peace thus raising morales for his people. He reamins best known for sponsoring terrorism and a weak attempt at a Libyan nuclear weapon. Sad, his car is awesome, if not underpowered!!! The error in thinking is that Rocket means speed. Here it refers to the aerodynamic design and futuristic appearance, not the motor. I'm sure he could have had the Italians install a massive V-8 or V-12 if he wanted to. he certainly could throw away another million for power, torque, and twin turbos!!!
