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.

Today history will be made. Part of this history in the Automotive world will be in the vehicle that transports Barack Obama, our 44th President of the United States of America.
Cadillac revealed some information and few images of the new 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limo. With each new President, including the 44th President, Barack Obama, they get to inherit new and improved “things” and that includes an all new Presidential Limousine. With today’s technology you can be assured that the new 2009 model of the Presidential Limo is the most secure and technologically advanced Presidential Limo ever. It is obvious from the few images provided that the windows are reinforced bullet proof composite type glass coupled with all types of body armor and communication electronics.
The fine details of the new Cadillac Presidential Limo will probably never be revealed to the public for security reasons. But in the mean time we can only imagine what goodies this new mammoth of a vehicle is equipped with. We have included the press release from Cadillac that rolls out some history behind the Presidential Limo which has been an exclusive Cadillac vehicle since 1953.
