Obama Edition Cadillac One, this is the car of US President

Presidential cars are usually always interesting, and not for their mechanical properties, but their performance levels of security and, above all, the size of these limos. In this case, we will analyze the elements that stand limousine used by the US President Barak Obama, to move in official events. Cars designed to prevent murders as in the case of JFK.

The limousine Cadillac One, known as The Beast (beast) was first used in 2009. Since then, the presidential car is the same except the improvements that have been added over the years. To enter context, we will delve best in their technical specifications.
Body of pure titanium steel walls

 To reach that weight, the structure has vitaminazed to unthinkable levels. Specifically, we find that the wall thickness of the chassis is 13 cm steel and titanium body is able to withstand an attack by a bomb shell.

The windows are bulletproof, with a thickness of about 8 cm, which in any case can escape almost any situation.

The driver is an expert trained by the CIA to develop to the best of its task of protecting the president. Has available weapons, fire extinguishers, and a vehicle tracking system GPS. To give you an idea of how well equipped you are, count to a system of night vision cameras that record and relay the situation at all times with the Pentagon. Although it is also interesting to use for driving without using the headlights, and to go unnoticed at times ...
