The car in which the US President travels is not an ordinary car but is known as 'The Beast'. It is a bulletproof limousine, which weighs about 20 thousand pounds (9071.8 kg). The latest model of this car was launched in 2018 during the time of Donald Trump.
Features of The Beast: This car can seat seven people at a time and is specially designed on the GMC TopKick platform. This platform is usually used in mid-size duty trucks. Its design is completely different from any other Cadillac available in the market, and it is a sedan version of the old generation Escalade SUV.
Invincible in terms of security: The Beast is designed in such a way that it can protect against chemical attacks. It is equipped with security equipment like night vision equipment, a smoke screen, and oil layers to protect it from attackers. Apart from this, the car also has safe storage of blood according to the president's blood group so that immediate help can be provided in case of emergency. The armor of this car is made of aluminum, ceramic, and steel, which makes it more secure.
Strength of doors: The weight of the doors of this car is so heavy that it is equal to the doors of Boeing 757 aircraft. Its door handles also have the facility of electric shock, which can prevent any unwanted person from entering.
The Beast will run even on burst tires. This car also has facilities like a pump-action shotgun, rocket launcher, and tear gas grenade. The most special thing is that its tires are Kevlar-reinforced, which have steel rims and are puncture proof. This means that this car can run comfortably even if the tire bursts.
Satellite phone: There is also a satellite phone on the President's seat, through which direct communication can be done with the Vice President and the Pentagon. The boot of the car also has security equipment like a firefighting system, an oxygen system during chemical attacks and tear gas, and a fog-screen dispenser. Apart from this, there are many other security equipment, the information of which has been kept confidential.
