President Obama’s Presidential Limousine: The Beast

Filed under Automotive, Cadillac, Featured, GM


The new “Beast”, what the secret service calls it, is the latest and greatest creation to hit the road made by GM – Cadillac to transport the 44th President of the United States of America, President Barack Obama. If you tuned into one of your local stations or streamed the inauguration on Tuesday then you know that this new Limousine is not your ordinary vehicle. From some of our photos below you can come to the conclusion from the 5 to 6 inch thick doors, extra thick tires and mammoth size/height of this “Beast” that it is basically a Cadillac-Tank on 4 wheels.

Rumors will tell us that the new Presidential Limo has it’s own ventilation system that seals itself from the outside air and has the most technologically advanced communication system found in a street car in the USA. Looking at the size of this vehicle next to a secrete serviceman or a Chevy Tahoe will tell you a little about massive size of this vehicle. The ride height also suggest that this is a very capable vehicle in the need that it has to go off-road to “get out of the line of fire” God forbid. Still, we all have to speculate what this vehicle is really all about or what is found inside of it. One of the images catches a glimpse of some type of LCD screen mounted low, maybe that is the infamous RED phone.

    This vehicle is very impressive. I have always admired the Presidential limo. I wish I could just look inside it. The windows were darker I thought. I have an opportunity to tour the White House once when I was in DC for the Navy. But the Boy Scouts were touring the building and tours were cancelled. I’m 62 and hopefully sometime before I die I hope to return the DC to tour the WH and possibily see the limo.

    I have always admired the Presidential limo. It would be awesome to just look into. I had the opportunity to tour the White House when I was in DC for the Navy. The boy scouts were touring the WH then so touring was closed. Being 62 years old, I hope sometime in the future to return to DC to tour the WH and possibly get to look at the limo. Now I’m retired from the Navy.

    There’s no question of secure when our president is in target, but isn’t it a bit more than that ??

    I’m not asking the cost, allthough I have to do it so, ’cause it’s our taxes which offered him those ‘nice’ toys to enjoy ..

    Impressive vehicle – fit for a president. Bit slow, though – with a top speed of only 60mph – according to the fact sheet above.

    I guess this is because it’s as heavy as a tank!
