Military-Grade Armor
Specifically designed to ensure the president’s safety, The Beast features military-grade armor that makes it nearly impenetrable against multiple threats. Its main protective features include:
High-caliber bullet impacts: The presidential car is armored with thick reinforced steel plates and multi-layer ballistic glass, allowing it to withstand high-caliber rifle fire and warfare-grade weapons without compromising the safety of its occupants.
Explosions, chemical attacks, and grenades: The vehicle’s body is designed to absorb the force of explosions, with a reinforced chassis and an airtight sealing system that protects against chemical and biological attacks, ensuring a secure environment inside.
Even guided missiles: Equipped with advanced defense systems, the vehicle features electronic countermeasures, heat dispersion technology, and next-generation armor that minimizes the impact of missile attacks, guaranteeing maximum protection in extreme situations.
The structure of this vehicle is based on that of a heavy-duty truck and features a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that generates up to 300 horsepower—enough to move its impressive 9-ton weight.

Emergency Technology
Beyond its formidable armor, The Beast incorporates a series of systems designed to handle nearly any contingency:
Night vision cameras at the front, allowing the detection of threats in the dark.
Tear gas and smoke dispensers deployed around the vehicle to facilitate escape in the event of an ambush.
A satellite communication system that connects directly to the Pentagon in case of an emergency.
An independent oxygen supply and bags of blood compatible with the president’s type, ready for transfusions if needed.
Additionally, behind its armored doors, the vehicle conceals weapons such as machine guns, ready to be deployed in critical situations.
American Tradition with Cadillac
Cadillac has been the emblem of presidential cars since 1916, when Woodrow Wilson used a Cadillac Series 53 during a parade in Boston following the end of World War I. However, the concept of “The Beast” as we know it today emerged in 2001 during George W. Bush’s presidency, when the presidential vehicle was officially given this name.
The current design, inspired by the Cadillac C6, debuted in 2018 during a trip by Donald Trump to New York. This model retains aesthetic elements from previous versions, such as the Cadillac DTS used by Barack Obama since 2009, but with significant improvements in security and technology
