muammar gaddafi car
The car was unveiled on the 30th anniversary of the revolution which propelled the Libyan leader to power.
The Saroukh el-Jamahiriya (Libyan rocket) a five-passenger saloon in a metallic Libyan revolutionary green with tinted windows, was launched at a special summit of the Organisation of African Unity organised by Colonel Gaddafi.
The car has the aerodynamic lines of conventional models but the front and rear ends are rocket-shaped.
The interior is replete with air bags, an inbuilt electronic defence system, and a collapsible bumper which protects passengers in head-on collisions.
Mr Gaddafi has also been intent on reinventing his image since the lifting of sanctions against Libya in April.
The end of the sanctions followed the handover of two suspects wanted in connection with the 1988 Lockerbie air bombing.
Mr Al-Meghareff told a news conference at the rocket-car launch that Mr Gaddafi had spent his time during the sanctions "thinking of ways to preserve human life all over the world".
He added that the provocative name of the car was meant to highlight that while others made rockets to kill, Libya designed them for humane and peaceful purposes
