New book goes into detail regarding the presidential limousine

Speaking of tough, the presidential limo is said to be tough enough to withstand grenades being thrown on it as well as direct hits from various artillery, including bazookas.

According to the book’s author, Ron Kessler, ‘the Beast’ is a technological marvel on four wheels. “The vehicle is armor-plated, with bulletproof glass and its own supply of oxygen,” he said. “

It is equipped with state-of-the-art encrypted communications gear, as well as a remote starting mechanism and a self-sealing gas tank. The vehicle can keep going even when the tires are shot out. Likewise, the car’s doors are 18 inches thick, and its windows are 5 inches thick."

It’s pretty safe to say that there aren’t a lot of limousines – much less cars – in the world that can compare to the ‘Beast’. After all, you don’t put all that technology and safety measures without a super duper VIP riding on it.

And last time we checked, the President of the United States, seems to fit that bill of a ‘SDVIP’.
