Until 2023, British manufactured cars had always been used as prime ministerial cars by the prime ministers of the United Kingdom. The cars currently used are armoured, custom built Range Rover Sentinel supercharged 5.0 litre V8 models and armoured Audi A8L models.[1][2]
Prime ministerial and ministerial limousines are operated and administered by the Government Car Service, an executive agency of the Department for Transport, and stored and maintained at 10 Downing Street. The cars are driven by officers from the Metropolitan Police Royalty & Specialist Protection branch (RaSP), skilled in protection convoy, anti hijack and evasive driving skills.[3]
They are escorted by three to four unmarked Range Rover or Ford Galaxy models and at least nine to ten RaSP officers, with the ability to utilise motorcycle outriders from the Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group to aid in the swift travel and protection of the motorcade.[4][5]
In December 2022, the UK government announced that it would purchase armoured Audi A8L models for use by ministers, on the basis that no UK manufacturer could meet revised security specifications.[6] Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was first seen to use an Audi A8 model in July 2023, although He is still more commonly seen in the Range Rover models.[7]
