THE ‘BEAST’ US PRESIDENTIAL LIMO WORTH 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS

0


The United States presidential state car nicknamed “the Beast” is the official state car of the president of the United States

The Beast is loaded with Bond-style gadgets believed to include smoke screens and door handles rigged to send a 120-volt electric shock to ward off attackers. It can also reportedly lay down an oil slick to send enemy vehicles spinning out of control.

Pump-action shotguns, rocket-powered grenades, night vision equipment, and tear gas grenades are all said to be on board.

Weighing in at between 8 to 10 tons, the body is made of eight-inch armor plating with armored floor plates to protect from potential bomb blasts. The five-inch thick windows can stop a .44 magnum bullet.

The interior can be sealed in the event of a chemical attack and The Beast’s tires can carry on for miles – even if they’re flat – but it won’t be a speedy escape. Cadillac One, as The Beast is also known, takes 15 seconds to reach 60 miles an hour.

There are at least two identical Beasts with matching registration plates in every motorcade so attackers can’t be 100% certain which vehicle contains the president and which is the decoy. During President Joe Biden’s inauguration, there were actually seven Beasts deployed in the mother of all motorcades.

The Beast carries a supply of blood matching the president’s blood type in case of an emergency. It also travels with its own oxygen supply which can be piped directly into the hermetically sealed cabin in the event of an attack.

Almost no sound can enter the cabin because of the armored plating. Exterior sound is picked up with microphones on the outside and speakers inside. Further communications equipment enables The Beast to communicate with specialized vehicles that are part of the motorcade.
