Naturally, the price of the car could reach a whopping £660,000.
Equipped with latest features, the hi-tech Knight XV includes an LCD TV screen, X-Box 360 or Playstation game console, retractable TV, oxygen survival kit, escape mask for emergencies, blast protection system, exterior security cameras, black box and even a bar.
