Donald Trump to ride Beast to inauguration

Donald Trumps Beast

US President-elect, Donald Trump's Cadillac One, will be debuting on the Inauguration Day, Friday, January 20.

Trump's Cadillac One limousine was manufactured by General Motors who were paid a total of $15million to develop the vehicle.

The new beast which is expected to look like a Cadillac Escalade sedan, but with an elongated frame, will replace the fleet of approximately 12 cars that carried President Barack Obama.

This new beast will be more impressive than some of the past 'beasts' used by his predecessors.

The Cadillac will be equipped with weapons including tear gas cannons, a shotgun, and even bottles of the President-elect's blood type in case of emergencies, reports said. 

The limo's doors and windows will be bulletproof and sealed off to withstand chemical and biological attacks, which means only the driver will be able to roll down the window to pay tolls.

Exact details of the car's features are not revealed to the public, but recent model images have shown the limousine will even protect the new presidential family with an underside that is impervious to road side bombs. 

Daily Mail reports that the Secret Service first proposed a replacement for the presidential limo in 2014, and now the new model will replace the fleet of around 12 cars that were used by President Barack Obama since 2009, Autoweek reported in November. 

The new car will have the same black and silver paint as the previous beast, but it had been covered with camouflage paint to disguise new features.

Externally, the Cadillac One appears to have the same headlight and grille design as past beasts, (Cadillac Escalade sedan) and all body panels will be custom-fabricated

The previous model was and included eight inches of armor, tear gas canisters, and two pints of the President's blood.

The vehicle is also fitted with night vision cameras, GPS tracking and a satellite communication system to allow it to run in any conditions and make sure the President is always in contact. 

The new state car will be impervious to chemical attacks, roadside bombs, and bulletproof doors.

The previous car, described as a 'Caddy on a tank frame', weighed eight tons due to the huge amount of armor plating built into the frame.

The doors were around eight inches thick, each weighed the same as the door of a Boeing 747 jet, (eight tons) and concealed in the trunk was an oxygen supply that allows fresh air to be pumped into the cabin in the event that the air outside becomes toxic.
