This is the Diamond Jubilee Sate Coach, finished in 2010 it's by far the newest coach. It was used for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and is interesting because it was built using all modern technology while trying to make it look classical. Instead of wood much of it is aluminum, it has modern shock absorbers for a smoother ride, built in cameras, air conditioning, electric windows and a slew of other things. The older carriages take 6 or more horses to pull, but this one only needs two. They still use 6 though, as it's tradition and looks grander.
