Simon Cowell wants his own version of US President Barack Obama‘s Cadillac.
The bomb-proof car also known as ‘The Beast’ has been used by the president during his current visit to the UK, spurring the X Factor boss to demand one of the eight-tonne vehicles for himself.
“Simon Cowell phoned me this morning and said he wants the same car as Obama,” said Simon’s spokesman.
Worth at least $2 million, the sleek-looking Cadillac One provides maximum safety and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 15 seconds.
Its 6.5 liter engine is armor-plated and it also has bullet-proof glass and puncture-resistant tyres.
The vehicle would provide the perfect security for Simon, who three years ago discovered a tracking device in his Rolls Royce.
A friend also revealed the music mogul who is worth an estimated $400million is “obsessed” with cars and knew he wanted a ‘Beast’ as soon as he saw the President’s.
“Simon’s love of cars is borderline obsessional. He took one look at Obama’s ‘Beast’ and his first thought was, ‘I need one.’ Obviously it is not as simple as walking into a Cadillac showroom and getting one,” a source said.
“A beast would take months, if not years, to complete.”
