The Beast, which costs $1.5 million, is built like a rolling bunker. With eight-inch thick plating made of aluminum, ceramic, and steel and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, its doors alone weigh as much as those on a Boeing 757 aircraft. Barack Obama's cavalcade car caused some drama when it got stuck emerging from the gates of the US embassy in Dublin. The low bottom of the car, nicknamed The Beast because of its bomb-proof features, seemed to catch on a ramp crossing over the gateway. Though it's a model of safety, luxury, and technology, the car isn't that impressive as far as performance goes. “The Beast” is burdened with lugging a rumored 20,000-lbs worth of weight and can only hit 60mph in 15 seconds, well below most modern commercially available sedans. The Beast is a presidential limousine with General Motors heavy duty transmission and a 214 horsepower Duramax diesel engine. Both of those are from a GM heavy-duty vehicle platform. While it isn't the classic Caddy styling of classic headlamps, tail lamps, or grilles, those feature remains. Its armor plating is said to be 8 inches thick and its doors weigh as much as those on a Boeing 757 aircraft. Five-inch thick bulletproof windows contain at least five layers to put a damper on any effort by subversives. The presidential state car is a limousine called Cadillac One or The Beast which is operated by the Secret Service. There are at least ten limousines. There is also a bus unofficially called Ground Force One officially called Stagecoach, while the president is aboard, which is operated by the Secret Service. The Beast, as well as several of the support vehicles, are often armed to the teeth. Also, The Beast itself can launch its own tear gas grenades. The driver has access to fully automatic weapons and even has a separate oxygen supply internally in case of a large-scale chemical attack. The body of The Beast is covered in military grade armour at least five inches thick. Combination of dual hardness steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramic to break up projectiles. The doors of The Beast are armoured-plated, 8 inches thick and the weight of a cabin door of a Boeing 757 jet.
