Hi friends lovers of the automotive world, as we all know, cars are a necessity for humans as a means of transportation, various features and sophistication of various types are marketed to attract consumers' attention.
Just like the famous car company GM, which created a Cadillac that specifically designed cars for the president of the United States, the car was named The Beast 2.0.
Here are 10 Facts about The Beast.
1. There are more than two Beasts that General Motors (GM) sends to the Secret Service as spare cars or to outwit people with malicious intent. A motorcade of the President is usually seen with two Cadillac Ones, it is not known which car the US President is sitting in.
2. The new Cadillac limousine has a grille with the same design language as the Cadillac Escala concept car. But, that's the only thing in common with the designs of vehicles that are sold publicly.
3. All limousines are similarly made and armored. This car has 5 inches (12.7 cm) thick glass, 8 inches (20.32 cm) thick doors which weigh the same as a commercial airplane door. The vehicle is made using titanium, ceramic, and a bomb-proof plate that covers the bottom.
4. The Beast is estimated to weigh between 14,000 and 20,000 pounds (6-9 tons). This latest generation is said to be lighter than the previous The Beast.
