Bulgaria's cash strapped health ministry is using a World Bank loan to buy a fleet of luxury Porsche Cayennes to serve as ambulances.



Health Minister Radoslav Gaydarski said the 32 four wheel drive vehicles would be used in remote areas where normal vehicles normally could not travel.

He confirmed the cars had been purchased with a loan by the World Bank. The ministry said they had chosen the Porsches after the company offered what he insisted was the lowest bid in a tender offer.

Gotta agree, Porsches for Ambulances are a bit Lavish I would say. Bet you 5 out of 32 make it into his entourage. And 1 goes to his spoiled son, another to his mistress.

Are they even big enough for this work? I've had Cayenne loaners a couple times and frankly they aren't much bigger than a small sedan on the inside.
