Manufactured by General Motors in 2009, the vehicle has specific features for the safety of the president, with specifications similar to a tanker.
Measuring five meters in length and weighs eight tonnes, ‘The Beast’ features a bullet-proof door which is 20cm thick. The body is made largely of titanium, steel, ceramic and aluminium.
The limousine is equipped with puncture-resistant tires as a way to protect the President from bullets, spike strips or any other device aimed at disabling the car’s tyres. Even the fuel tank is armour-plated to help repel bullets.
‘The Beast’ is also equipped with night-vision cameras, pump-action shotguns and tear-gas canons.
It also has its own oxygen supply and blood supply of the same type with the president in the event of an emergency.
The vehicle can accommodate a maximum of 7 people, including the president.
Obama’s official car is the most technologically advanced protection vehicle in the world.
