Until now, President Trump was using “The Beast 1.0,” which was carried over from President Obama’s term in office. And when we say “The Beast” we mean “Beasts” plural, as there are a fleet of nearly a dozen that serve. Additionally, it’s not unusual for a president to use the same limos as his predecessor, depending on mileage and other parameters.
We expect the interior to remain largely unchanged. It should have seating for five, in addition to a driver and passenger up front, and it will be bombproof, bulletproof and noxious-gasproof. We also expect updated communications equipment, considering the last “Beast” came out in 2009. The iPhone 3GS was the best tech we could muster.
The Beast presidential limo also gets its own plane to haul it and a few support vehicles around, a C-17 Globemaster.
Other equipment includes a few bags of the presidents own blood for transfusion purposes, oxygen tanks, guns, tear gas and more.
It also won’t be fast. Reports have it weighing around 20,000 pounds, meaning a sprint time to 60 mph in about 15 seconds -- hence the armor and weapons for an extended standoff.
This being Trump’s limo, we also expect it to be the most opulent, best, bigliest and most-expensive limousine ever produced. And all other countries will be jealous of our limo-making capabilities. God help us if any part of this thing was produced in Mexico.
