BRITAIN’S biggest car has been revealed – and it’s twice the size of a Range Rover.
The whopping vehicle is the super-luxury Cadillac Escalade ESV (experimental safe vehicle) – and costs an equally enormous £100k.
Its impressive features include seven seats and a spacious boot – which is motion-sensored and has been described by YouTuber James Walker as “the biggest boot I’ve ever seen”.
The spectacular machine runs a 420-horsepower V8 engine.
YouTuber James, who also goes by MrJWW, raved about the vehicle on his website – one of which he was treating at his car protection service near Wembley.
He said: “When you sit in the driver’s seat, the spaciousness is almost disconcerting.
“Looking over the bonnet, it’s hard to see where the car ends!
“Even the surface area of the doors is vast. We’re going to need bedsheets of PPF applied to cover the ESV.
“Even before the protective stage, we’ll need miles of paint prep!”
“Speaking further in a YouTube video, he added: “It’s actually a very similar wheelbase in length to an Extended Wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom 8 – only with an absolutely colossal boot.
“One of the USPs of this car is that it can seat 7 and still have a full-size boot, and that is to say an American full-size boot.
“I mean it’s a different world in here. The scale of it. Looking over the bonnet, you could land a small aircraft on that thing.
“The surface area is vast. It’s like it’s own horizon in front of you!
“When you think about it, say you wanted to seat seven servicemen with seven boxes of ammunition and seven submachine guns, you’re gonna need something with a big boot.
“And really there’s nothing else in Europe with this sort of platform.
There’s other cars with seven seats but nothing to accommodate seven secret service so what are you gonna do? Buy one of these.”
IT’S TIME for those famous wings to spread and for the Angels to hit the catwalk for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
After five years away, the runway show is back once more and includes the world’s top supermodels, plus star performers.
Fans were thrilled when it was announced that the legendary Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show would return in 2024.
The runway show, which showcases the latest pieces from the American lingerie, clothing and beauty retailer, is back on in New York City in fall 2024.

The iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will take place on October 15, 2024 and will be broadcast live from New York.
The show will officially kick off at 7pm ET and will air across all of Victoria’s Secret’s social media platforms.
That means you can watch it on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
Amazon customers in the US will also be able to stream the show on the Amazon Live channel.

Fans won’t be disappointed with the line-up supermodels who will be all walking the catwalk in the famous Victoria’s Secret’s angel wings.

Cher is joined in the line-up by K-Pop singer Lisa and South African star Tyla.
The star guest list for this incredible show is yet to be released, but the show is known for attracting an A-List crowd.

AIDAN O’BRIEN reckons his leading l’Arc de Triomphe hope, Los Angeles, has yet to hit the top gear this season.
The monster colt is currently third in the betting at 5-1, backed in from 7-1, but the Ballydoyle behemoth reckons the 1m4f race, worth £4.3million, is ‘right up his ally.’
Los Angeles finished fourth behind William Haggas’ superstar Economics in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, but O’Brien insisted Europe’s premier race has always been the target.
Speaking at a press conference organised by France Galop, O’Brien said: “We don’t think we’ve seen the best of Los Angeles yet.
“He’s a very big horse and he’s improving physically.
“There’s no doubt a mile and a half will be right up his alley.
“He won an Irish Derby right-handed like Longchamp and we’ve been very happy with his two preps for the Arc.
“It’s been the plan since the Irish Derby.
“Hopefully we’ve done as much as we can for him to run as well as he can and his work has been as good as we could have expected.”
He went on to confirm that Luxembourg and Auguste Rodin would not run due to the ground.
And Opera Singer, the Nassau winner, has since been ruled out of a trip to Paris altogether after a piece of work on Wednesday morning.
As for 25-1 shot Continuous who was fifth in the race last year as a three-year old, O’Brien believes he should get closer this time round.
And he’s booked top-class French jock Christophe Soumillon as pilot.
O’Brien said: “Christophe rode Continuous the last day and it’s possible that he will ride him again.”
“We were very happy with his run in the trial [third in the Prix Foy].
“We’ve trained him with an autumn campaign in mind and last year’s race was a slowly-run race.
“We always had it in our minds that hopefully he would be better this year and we would prepare him better for the race.
“We think both horses will handle an ease in the ground.”
The changes have put the cat amongst the pigeons in the betting with Los Angeles shortening steadily.
A Paddy Power spokesperson told The Sun: “Los Angeles has also been popular into 5-1 now from 7-1 on Tuesday morning.”
Of O’Brien’s Prix de l’Opera runners, he said: “Ylang Ylang has been popular this morning and has halved in price with news of stablemate Opera Singer’s defection.”

FORMER Love Island star Georgia Harrison has been left red-faced after finding out what fellow Celeb SAS contestant Ovie Soko really thinks about her.
Since leaving the gruelling competition, Love Island star Ovie Soko, 33, has accused Georgia Harrison, 29, of “playing up for the cameras” during Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and singled her out as the only co-star he didn’t bond with on the Channel 4 show.
Now, the former Towie star has opened up about their relationship on the Access All Areas podcast with Bobby Norris, 38, after he asked the Essex native what she thought of Ovie’s negative comments.
Georgia admitted: “I hadn’t really seen that… you’ve just told me… but I did feel that he held that opinion of me because of ways he acted towards the end.
“For me, I flew out there with him and I felt like I got along really well with him on the way out there. To be honest, I liked him throughout the whole experience.
“I genuinely didn’t realise that he didn’t like me until the last day and even then, looking back, I thought maybe it was just because the situation was starting to get a bit of a struggle for him. I felt that maybe he was just using that as an out but apparently he just genuinely doesn’t like me.”
The basketball player told The Sun: “I didn’t go on SAS to have drama moments, I went on SAS for a personal journey.
“I didn’t know whether that was Georgia Harrison’s full goal, at times it just felt like she played up for the cameras.
“Everyone understood we’re here to give it a good crack, we are here to help each other.
“I felt like everyone got that on the show besides her.”
Georgia had some tough moments on the programme and spoke to Chief Instructor Billy Billingham and Foxy (Jason Fox) about the trauma she faced over the Stephen Bear revenge porn court case. She said: “When you go through something like that you really do lose a lot of your self-esteem. I felt violated, I felt ashamed, I felt embarrassed.”
A tearful Georgia continued: “In the time that that went on my best friend died and my ex-boyfriend died so over that two years it’s just been a lot of just trying to get through things.
“It’s been like two years of just trying to barely just on with things and just be strong enough to just be remotely happy and achieve the things that I need to achieve, just get by.
“A lot of it I had to be strong really quickly because I had to be strong to get to the court case. I had to put a lot of my grieving to the side.”
Georgia continued: “It’s nice actually just to be here for a few days and not have someone go, ‘Are you OK?’ I’ve got so much more in my character than that.
“This is the perfect way to rip me out of what’s been two years of struggle.”
