What car does the president travel in?
What kind of car is the president’s limousine? And does the president bring his car along when he travels?
Matt Terzi · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
We’ve all seen the president’s limo on the news and in movies, but the president’s car is anything but normal! Nicknamed The Beast and frequently referred to as Cadillac One, the car the president travels in isn’t a car. It isn’t a Cadillac, either. It’s more like a tank built on the platform of a heavy-duty General Motors truck and dressed up to resemble a Cadillac.
For security reasons, the exact specifications of the president’s car are top secret. But experts theorize it’s equipped with lots of cool gadgetry on par with what you might find in an Aston Martin that James Bond would drive.
Some of the features of the Beast, either known or assumed by experts, include:
- 8” thick body armor
- Bulletproof glass
- A sealed, armored, and impregnable gas tank
- Airtight, sealed interior to protect against chemical or gas attacks
- Kevlar-coated run-flat tires
- Shielding to prevent against EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attacks
- Possible anti-missile chaff and/ or flare technology
This super-limo isn’t restricted to use in Washington DC, either. When the president travels by plane, the Beast gets loaded onto a C-17 Globemaster transport airplane and flies all over the world with him!
The President of the United States doesn’t need to worry about his car getting damaged in an accident. You and me, though? We’re not so lucky. Car insurance is a necessity (not to mention it’s legally required in most states). And it can get pretty expensive.
That’s why so many people are switching providers with the
