To the president of the USA during the Nuclear summit on march 24 and 25 from amsterdam Schiphol airport to Den Haag transport, a ride of 44 miles about to shut down highways and past the traffic lights permanently on green, to be his official limo’s flown. Because, as roles real G’s.
About this introduced in 2009, monsterlimo, nicknamed The Beast, is little known officially. What we do know you can read below.
It is not a Cadillac, but a truck
The converted Cadillac is actually a truck. He is on the chassis of the GMC TopKick truck, a monster in which the wheelbase 4,29 meters. Also the diesel engine and transmission are removed. Thanks to Cadillac-esque headlights and taillights from the STS, he seems still a bit on a Caddy. Prices of that truck start in the US by the way at $70.000.
A body the bullets, headings
The Secret Service is doing all it can to prevent that exact details and specifications about the level of security in the public domain. What Cadillac should be releasing is that the body is completely bullet-proof (goh) and the structure was manufactured of titanium, ceramic material, steel, and aluminum. The weight is classified, but according to the rumors, passing easily the 9,000 kg.
Closed off from the outside world
In the hand-crafted zitcompartiment Obama has a great view of the outside world, but as a window openslingeren to go to nationals wave is not there. That may not be open. In fact, that whole compartment is closed and according to Cadillac “impenetrable”. Will Obama do some of the outside world to know, they will have to use microphones on the outside and speakers in the interior. A car intercom.
The armored obesitasdeur
Illuminated flags
On the top of the front fenders there are two flags. A Us edition and a adelaarsvlag. If The Beast somewhere in the dark driving, then the flags are illuminated by LED messages. How patriotic.
He has his own plane
Obama’s secret service carries this beast in a Boeing C-17 Globemaster, which also includes a second limo, and an armored Chevrolet Suburban to be transported. The latter, officially named the White House Communications Agency Roadrunner and is permanently in connection with military satellites, which radio traffic and sending videos.
Bloedvoorraad
If the POTUS unexpectedly some of his blood to lose, there is – and this is confirmed – a chilled compartment is present where a stock of blood. Including medical supplies to the plastic bag to a vein to transport. See, that’s the only premium options.
Night-vision cameras
We see it in the top models of BMW and Mercedes, but also Obama’s limo has cameras with night vision in the darkest areas of the way to keep track of. Other noteworthy options that you are not quick with your dealer assigned will be the ventilation system, tear gas, runflat tyres with kevlar reinforcement and steel rims which you can drive if there is no band around it. There are rumors that there is in the trunk also a granaatgun.
Not really fast
Allegedly, there is a Duramax diesel engine under the hood. For diesel choose is logical. It is less explosive than gasoline, diesel engines run less fast piece and you can the stuff everywhere refuel, in contrast to gasoline of high quality. We assume that it is a koppelrijk block, but because of the bizarre weight takes the ‘sprint’ from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 15 seconds. That 60 mph is about its maximum speed.
