Weighing 9 tons of US presidential car “beast” or change to pure electric, safety is still the most important

It is well known that everyone needs strict protection when leaders in public occurs to ensure personal safety. So their daily travel often requires a rebound car, and even a whole team is needed to protect.

The US presidential car is the most secure in all presidential car. It is called an Army One, it still has a nickname, which is “Beast”.

The Army No. 1 is based on Cadillac heavy duty car, 5.5 meters long and weight may reach 9 tons. The car uses a truck frame and has a very high ground gap and a huge body size.

The body is covered with thick armor, the thickness of the window is 12 cm, the front windshield has a thickness of 15%, and the door thickness is 20 cm. This allows this car to resist the attack of the cutting gun or even small artillery. The fuel tank is manufactured by the M1A2 tank process, the wheel is the explosion-proof tire made by the reinforced Kevra fiber, even if the tire is damaged, the car can use the steel ring to travel at high speed.

The power of the president’s car is provided by a specially customized 6.6 liter V8 diesel engine, which promotes such a huge heavy body, acceleration from stationary to 100 km / It takes 15 seconds, with a fuel consumption of up to 60 liters / 100 kilometers.
