Designed from the ground up by the Secret Service, President Barack
Obama's $1.5 million "Cadillac One," aka "The Beast," is a moving
fortress impenetrable by bullets and bombs. The president has 12
identical limos in rotation and, when not in use, they're parked in the
basement of the Secret Service's headquarters and are under 24-hour
surveillance, AutoWeek reports.
At least two cars travel with the president wherever he goes, and
they get a humble 3.7 miles to the gallon. The president's motorcade is
surrounded with up to 45 other armed vehicles, including an identical
decoy, local police, a mobile communications center, more armed
vehicles, and an ambulance.
The cars are manufactured by General Motors in Detroit and have a
gasoline V8 engine. The top speed and weight of each car is classified,
as is the bulletproof technology used in the windows.
