"Tuple" the American: in the US noticed a new presidential limousine

In America seen a new generation of "the Beast"

2018 was the year of the premiere of the presidential "Motorcade". Limousine for the head of state became the most discussed car in Russia. And some Western media have even started compare Russian model Cadillac limousine Donald trump. Then, many noted that this comparison is not fair and impartial. First, the detailed features of both models, for obvious reasons, classified. Second, the "Beast" (the so-called American limousine) was introduced in 2009, so in some respects it could be outdated. Who would have thought that so soon we will see the emergence of the second generation of "the Beast".

The new car is made in the continuity style. He still has the Cadillac logo, although he has little in common with the serial cars of this brand. It is developed by General Motors engineers. Today it seems that GM has always been the supplier of the presidential stables, however, you the old days (before 1993) the fleet of the White house often relied on Lincoln vehicles. Unfortunately, Ford has long been not allowed in the development of limousines for heads of state.

Stylistically "the Beast" has been noticeably updated. Lighting, front grille and other little things to "Cadillacs". Plus, the stylists has significantly transformed the profile: by getting rid of the huge wheel arches and a more gently sloping rear of the roof rack, the designers managed to make the limo look more elegant. Now he no longer resembles a truck (although from a technical point of view they probably were).

Most likely, the vehicle weight has not changed significantly. It is assumed that the machine weighs 7-9 tons. A significant contribution of armor and security systems.

Additional equipment for the new "Beast" while we can only guess. The old machine had a night vision device, an Autonomous fire extinguishing system, satellite navigation system and satellite phone. Surely all these technical things migrated in the new limousine.

Already released a few copies of the presidential limousine that will carry Donald trump not only in USA but also in other countries: cars accompany the US President in his international trips.
