- US President's Motorcade arrives at NATO HQ for the extraordinary NATO Summit. What kind of car is The Beast? The Beast is a special project built specifically for the President and, as such, isn’t based on any standard roadgoing model. It’s built by American car maker Cadillac and shares its grille style with the brand’s Escala concept car, while the headlights are similar to those on the previous generation Escalade SUV, but it doesn’t actually share parts with any other model.

How big is The #Beast?
Underneath, The Beast is based on a heavy-duty truck chassis and believed to be powered by a truck-derived diesel engine from General Motors. From bumper to bumper it measures a massive 18 feet long and weighs somewhere between 6.5 and eight tonnes.
All that weight means the big machine isn’t exactly sprightly, taking a reported 15 seconds to reach 60 miles an hour. And the length can cause problems too, as Barack Obama found when his previous version of The Beast got beached on the steep entrance road to the US embassy in Dublin.
What is The Beast’s economy and CO2 emissions?
The White House hasn’t offered any economy or emissions information on the President’s limo but it’s safe to say that at the same weight as a truck and with what is believed to be a 5.0-litre engine, it’s not going to be particularly environmentally friendly.
Estimates put the diesel-powered car’s economy at around 8mpg and one report claims it could emit as much as 2.5kg of CO2 per kilometre. An average Ford Focus, in comparison, emits less than 150g/km.
How much does The Beast cost?
A car of this size and specification doesn’t come cheap, with the current model believed to have cost in the region of £1.1 million when it was built for former President Donald Trump in 2018. That's still a fair whack cheaper than this bespoke Rolls-Royce, although the Rolls does feature a built-in cocktail bar.
Is The Beast armoured?
Oh yes, and being armour-plated and bulletproof is just the start of The Beast’s security measures.
As befits a car designed to protect one of the world’s most powerful men, The Beast’s bodywork is made from military grade materials designed to withstand gunfire and explosions, and the fuel tank is similarly blast-proof. The doors are eight-inch thick armour plating and the sealed windows made of five-inch thick bulletproof glass. Even the tyres are designed to withstand attack thanks to Kevlar reinforcement, and they feature run-flat technology.
In addition, the car packs smoke screen and tear gas dispensers into the boot to repel attacks and, if that isn’t Bond villain enough, the door handles are rigged to give a 120-volt electric shock at the flick of a switch.
The passenger cabin is sealed against chemical attack and has its own oxygen supply to keep passengers safe, plus satellite phone links to the Pentagon and Vice President’s office. Emergency supplies of the President’s blood type are kept on board, presumably separately from the shotguns and tear gas cannons the car also carries.
Driving such a massive vehicle with such a precious cargo isn’t trusted to just anyone and The Beast is piloted by specially trained Secret Service staff.

the president biden limmo is bulletproof and i think that's so cool
Does surprise you he has a bulletproof limo?
Have to be safe. After all, Corn Pop is a bad dude.
How long until Joe lectures regular people about saving energy then gets straight into "The Beast"?
Good point, he should ride around on a bike all the time so he can get assassinated easily by any nutjob anywhere.
@@Jagar_Tharn No he shouldn't...but perhaps he should reconsider how stupid it looks before he lectures about climate change....no need to be clever. Nothing that I can think of annoys me more than people who talk as though they take themselves so seriously than appear like such hypocrites, it shows how little they think of the people they supposedly serve.
@@jamescharles5907 Not necessarily, if you don't make so many enemies you wouldn't need so much protection. If the "big guns" wanted to get him (such as foreign major powers) they could anyways, and even if a lone wolf has the skills and determination they still could. It seems overkill for much the same result as before. If anything it also draws more attention thus actually can have a counter productive effect. Guess a thinly spread out small protection detail might be both more efficient but cost effective.

Not Electric cars then gas guzzlers. Don’t do what we do. Do what you’re told to.
Until there’s made electric vehicles that can perform to the standards of this convoy, they’ll use what they have… An American citizen doesn’t need such made vehicles so given electric vehicles are satisfactory
The clown 🤡

Unnecessary circus
