Rocket Man?

Fan of airplane terrorists and all around Libyan goof Muammar Gaddafi is apparently quite the gearhead. According to the BBC, Gaddafi, who has been trying to improve his image, designed a super safe sedan with the looks of a rocket. Some tyrants build rockets to kill folks, others to keep folks safe, he told reporters, or something like that.
Gadaffi's people are calling the "Libyan rocket" the safest car in the world. It's got a defense system, run-flat tires and bumpers that collapse on impact. It's got a V-6 and is made with Libyan marble and fine leather.
Why no rocket engine? Seems like the Libyan desert would be an awesome place to go for land speed records. Next time, Muammar, give it rocket power and a color scheme like the print on your shirt and we'll be really impressed.
