Unbelievable SECRET Facts about the Presidential Limo!

[Music] what's up guys welcome to my channel I'm Papa Ledo listen to my dude Andy to learn all about the beats that are going to be transporting President Trump arrived here are the coolest things about President Trump's presidential limo number 10 it's not a Cadillac the United States presidential state car is nicknamed the Beast Cadillac one limousine one first car and codename stagecoach by the Secret Service whatever you choose to call it it's the official state car of the President of the United States the White House will debut a fleet of new presidential limousines later in 2017 however despite the distinct Cadillac look it doesn't share much with a Cadillac unlike any presidential state car before it the beast has little in common with any other standard production car its chassés diesel engine and transmission are all based on those used in the chevrolet kodiak a rugged commercial vehicle previously sold as everything from a dump truck to where you haul some standard trim pieces such as headlamps from the Escalade and taillights from the now discontinued sts keep it looking vaguely Cadillac like construction contracts for the next model of presidential state car were given out in 2013 public records show that General Motors was awarded three contracts for the new presidential limousine photographs of the 2017 model show that the vehicle has the same grille and headlamp design as contemporary Cadillac models number nine armored like the honey badger needless to say the beast has security specs that are out of this world calling it armoured is an understatement there is probably not a better armored vehicle with windows on the planet then that subbies its armor plating is said to be eight inches thick and its doors weigh as much as those on a Boeing 757 aircraft just think about that for a second there is some photographs of President Obama getting out of the previous model of the beast where you can actually see how thick those doors are look like playing doors 5-inch stake bulletproof windows none of which can actually open except for the driver's window that can roll down all of three inches contain at least five layers at any given point to put a serious damper on any effort by the Oswald's and boots of this world and those gigantic nearly bus sized Goodyear tires our kevlar reinforced run-flats capable of keeping the beast on the road for quite some distance if needed the interior is totally sealed off from the outside world to reduce risks of a chemical attack while a special film surrounds the fuel tank to insulate it in the event of any sort of impact the bodywork is made from hardened steel aluminum titanium and ceramic in addition to the heavy armor plated doors the beast has a reinforced steel plate running underneath the vehicle that protects it from roadside bomb number eight night-vision cameras any Secret Service agent assigned to drive the president has to take an intense defensive driving course on a special track at the Secret Service Academy in Beltsville Maryland they practice evasive maneuvers high speed cornering and precision driving one of the reasons that the drivers need these advanced driving skills is to be able to handle the car from a night-vision camera in case there is a complete loss of disability the Beast has special night-vision cameras and monitors the camera is mounted inside the grille the night vision technology is there in case of extreme scenarios where there is no light or a total obstruction of the windshield the agent driving the base should then be able to navigate it safely while using owns the monitors even though the Beast is more uncommon structurally speaking with a school bus than a sports car it's highly trained drivers can execute tight j-turns and other police style evasion techniques in the event of a situation gone south one agent told Autoweek that the Beast actually handles quite well considering how much it weighs number seven double-oh-seven goodies inside the limo there are a couple of Remington shotguns and rocket-propelled grenades Wilson up at hand for the Secret Service to grab and use in an extreme emergency the shotguns and grenades have never been in the past and their exact location inside the car is classified since Secret Service agents are already armed with handgun the shotguns and grenades would only be necessary in a severely defensive almost warlike situation the current presidential state car can also fire multispectral infrared smoke grenades as a countermeasure to a rocket-propelled grenade attack or anti-tank missiles I wonder if President Trump himself needs to know how to use those shotgun although if I had a bet on it I bet that Trump would know how to use one number six emergency blood after the assassination of Kennedy as well as President Gerald Ford's 1975 motorcade collision with a teenager the Secret Service has had to rethink what they can do in the case of unexpected injury to the president whether it's an assassination as in the case of Kennedy's or a total and in this case harmless accident as in the case of four if the president gets hurt medical attention should be immediately available the Beast therefore carries at all times a fully equipped blood bank with the present blood types in case of an emergency this is linked to the fact that the presidential limo doesn't only serve as a means of getting the president from point A to point B but also acts as a kind of portable safe space see the Beast is designed to act as a barrier between the President and any sort of life-threatening situation that is why you will always see the be strategically parked whether on an airstrip or at an event in such a way that it forms a barrier between the president and whatever crowd is around it is also always parked in a way that ensures a quick getaway so if the first citizen of the US is outside of the car and gets injured or is under attack you can get into the Beast and get instant medical attention and blood if needed while being totally isolated from any gunfire or poison gas as he speeds away through an already cleared route yep that's another thing The Secret Service spends weeks planning every trip apart from checking every dumpster and mantle for possible security risks but you also ensure that there's always a getaway plan and fresh blood number 5 the cost for taxpayer years before we talked about the price of the beast we have to mention that the Beast isn't alone The Secret Service actually has a few reached like vehicles although it's not known whether they're all functionally identical some look more like a Cadillac DTS than the Beast the other the machines are used for high-ranking foreign officials and VIP guests when they're in Washington DC it isn't known why the Secret Service rotates between presidential vehicles however but we assume it has something to do with security since repetition and predictability is bad for protecting the president so no one is sure how many versions there are of an actual beast and how many are cheaper replicas to function as decoys but we do know that each state car is expected to cost between a million and one and a half million dollars the actual price per unit however are shrinks in comparison to the money spent on its development remember this isn't a commercial vehicle and only a handful will ever be built and sold usually the cost of development of a new car is carried by the manufacturers of the car and then covered by commercial sales with the beast and other state cars however the government has to carry all of that cost that's to say they need to pay for the development and then for the actual car as of January 2016 GM had been paid in astronomical fifteen million eight hundred thousand seven hundred and sixty five dollars for its work on the new model as if that is not enough because of the excess weight the car can only reach about 60 miles per hour and only achieve three point seven to eight miles per gallon bourbon was lugging a rumor twenty thousand pounds the diesel engine isn't a rocket either hitting 60 miles per hour from a complete stop takes about 15 seconds number four the Beast flies private the Secret Service makes use of a c-17 Globemaster transport aircraft to halt the beast as well as a second limo and a heavily armored chevrolet suburban communication vehicle to wherever the president might travel the suburban is nicknamed Roadrunner and it's said to be a rolling communications off directly linked to a military satellite hence the SATCOM dome festooned to its roof in august 2015 when president obama went to nairobi kenya u.s. cargo planes flew as many as 60 vehicles into kenya for the presidential visit including the beast Obama was in Nairobi to attend the annual Global Entrepreneurship summit which at the time was marked by the US Embassy as a possible target for terrorists number three number of passengers at the very least the Beast always has three passengers aboard the driver the president's lead Secret Service protective agent in the front passenger seat and of course the president himself however four additional seats in the back are available three rearward facing spots on a bench and one slot next to the president forget a folding desk separates the president from his guest spot while the president is cut off from the outside world by the armor and bulletproof glass of the vehicle he has at his fingertips communication capabilities including phones satellite communications and the Internet somewhat surprisingly the president's bench is covered in a dark blue cloth rather than leather also the shoulder belts retract toward the center of the bench and buckle into the outward corners the reverse of a normal rear seat number to civilian life for the beef would you ever be able to own the Beast yourself can some random rich person buy one of these bad boys from the government in short no in the late 20th century it was customary for the United States Secret Service to participate in DG struction of the presidential state car after it had run its course modern presidential state cars are dismantled and destroyed with the assistance of the Secret Service to prevent anyone from knowing all its secrets the federal agents would use bullets and explosive rounds for two reasons the first is to demonstrate the automobiles effectiveness against such weaponry the second purpose is to shred the vehicle and destroy the secrets of its manufacture armoring and defensive facilities number one tear gas for the people in the case of Araya the Beast has a tear gas cannon to incapacitate big crowds and Abell the presidential motorcade to escape a tense situation as we mentioned earlier the inside of the car is totally sealed off in the case of a chemical attack this also comes in handy when you're dispersing the tear gas yourself through the air the problem was being sealed off from the outside world is that although you aren't getting any poisonous gas you're also not getting any fresh air no worries the Beast has an onboard oxygen tank that can supply the inside of the car with fresh oxygen for an extended period of time until the president has reached a safe place here's what's next the dart from Braun is the world's most expensive SUV featuring armored plating bulletproof windows and exotic leather interiors the starting price for one of these bad boys aimed at the ultra-rich is at least 1.1 million u.s. dollars
