Obama's New Cadillac Limo Officially Unveiled

[coolmazda5]

Allright, that thing is hot, and with LED spotlights to illuminate the fender-mounted flags at night we are now in the ride pimping business (lol2). Just slap some low profile tires and BBS wheels...

While the new Cadillac One may look like a stretched Cadillac DTS, it’s in fact based on the gigantic GMC Topkick truck platform. Security tech likely includes five-inch thick bulletproof glass, ultra high strength ceramic armor and cellphone jammers, but the Secret Service is putting the kibosh on official details for security reasons. One tech item they are talking about are the LED spotlights that’ll illuminate the fender-mounted flags at night.

5 inch thick glass?

 

[wolverine_man]

Gee, I wonder what kind of fuel economy it gets. I bet our revolutionary president-elect must have insisted it be a hybrid.

 

[mountjonas]

i want to see a person standing next to it to gauge how big it really is.

 

[kickniteasy]

[BadBandar]

I wonder if it has a turbo. LOL!

 

[JCell]

Maybe it's AWD as well?? I guess they said a truck platform, so it must be.

 

[Kymerik]

seriously? Is it a waste of money to have the highest level of protection available for the President of the United States?

 

[skylar2ups]

I was going to say something but I'm sure it's not going to change HIS views.

+1....of all the stupid stuff taxpayer dollars go into I don't think protection for the president of the country can fall into the "stupid" category.

Anyone see the build of these personal armored vehicles? It was on TV at one point. Obviously they could not go into specifics, but it was amazing to see. I bet it could handle a 1 direct RPG hit.
