“The Beast”: The ultra-secure state car of US President

“The Beast” is considered one of the most secure vehicles in the world, designed exclusively for the safety of the US President. Renowned for its luxury and advanced features, this armored limousine is a symbol of both elegance and protection.

Manufactured by General Motors, “The Beast” is equipped with a powerful aircraft-grade engine and heavily armored body, making it more akin to a mobile fortress than a regular car.

 Though it appears to have a standard Cadillac exterior, it has been specially built since 2018 under strict instructions from the Secret Service to ensure the President’s security at all times.

Key features of “The Beast” include:

Weight: Between 15,000 to 20,000 pounds, with thick, heavy doors.

Windows: 5-inch-thick bulletproof glass.

Tires: Run-flat tires capable of operating even after gunfire.

Interior Protection: Shielded against chemical and biological attacks, with an emergency stock of the President’s blood type on board.

Communication Systems: Advanced secure communication equipment allows the President to stay connected safely from anywhere in the world.

Control Room-Like Interior: The inside resembles a mini control room, not a standard limousine.

The decision to use heavily armored vehicles came after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, leading to continuous upgrades in each subsequent model. The suspension system is so robust that the car remains operational even after a bomb explosion.

“The Beast” is not just a car—it is a state-of-the-art security fortress on wheels, designed to protect the highest office in the world under any circumstance.
