The Cadillac limousine, nicknamed "The beast", the US presidential vehicle has arrived to Delhi and has been parked at the Indira Gandhi International airport for the US President obama's scheduled visit on India's Republic day. For obvious reasons, most of its details are classified for security reasons.

*The eight-tonner runs on shred and puncture resistant Kevlar-reinforced tyres with steel rims underneath which ensure that the vehicle does not come to a halt even if its tyres get damaged.
*The fuel tank is covered with a special foam that negates any possibility of an explosion.
*It incorporates a special night vision system. Special loops take the place of the regular door handles. Secret Service hold onto these when running alongside the car.
* It is armed with its own tear gas cannons, pump-action shotguns and have storage compartments for sub-machine guns.
*The car has is its own oxygen supply and also a blood bank of the president's blood type in the trunk.
The Beast, based on a Cadillac DTS is the first Presidential limousine not to have a specific model name. The vehicle is an amalgamation of features sourced from different vehicles under the General Motors brand with its chassis, doors, headlights, side mirrors and door handles having different origins
The obvious question from us" Kitna deti hai ", it gives a mileage of 3.4 km per litre. Not bad eh!.
