I'm sure it will with no issues. I was listening somewhere (radio?) that If another car crashes into it full speed, it will just literally bounce leaving some minor scratches...

That is freaking AWESOME!
I want to drive it!

Notice how the President sits BEHIND the doors?
Thats also a security feature. They want him as far back into theat compartment as possible. The door frame no matter what is a weak point of entry...so they so him behind it in an even stronger cocoon...pretty amazing the little details they think of..
I dont think they let the windows open at all anymore...security reasons...a good sniper could drop one in through an open window...imagine the ricochets..

If they cannot roll-down the windows, they have to have something else to circulate air quickly, What if one of those Secret Agents lets one go? They are under a lot of pressure, you know? (lol2)

The do have air filtration built in in case of bio or chem attack! In fact, it should protect from all of the following: (help)(gun)(bike)(blarf)(flame2)(boobs)(chair)(godown)(spank)(flame)(humpleg)(enguard)(whip)(deadhorse(dark)(smash)(wedge)(pukey)

Yes, but in that case the bio/chem attack comes from the outside, not from the inside (lol) (lol)
OK OK OK, on topic, it seems to be a well fortified and safe vehicle, no doubt

I was just watching the parade and said to myself I bet the guys on the forums have something on this. It's pretty amazing I believe in order to protect the 44th and 1st African American President. I've been on my toes the whole time worrying about the guy...

Inauguration Day for President Obama has come and gone, and while our freshly minted Commander in Chief was probably most interested in making his title official, we like to believe the high point of his day was taking the inaugural ride in his new Presidential Limousine. Secrete Service agents have reportedly begun calling Obama's new whip the "Beast" for reasons that are readily apparent. General Motors released images of the new Cadillac-based limo last week, but were of course not permitted to reveal the car's specifications. We're still in the dark on most everything about the new Presidential Limo, but new images from yesterday's inauguration reveal its true scale and capabilities.
First of all, notice the roof height compared to a Secret Service agent walking next to the car. Though it has the basic proportions of a very long-wheelbase sedan, this thing is nearly as tall as a Tahoe. The sidewalls of the tires are enormous, kind of like the front tires on a semi-truck, which suggests a level of puncture resistance far beyond your average run flat. The increased ground clearance and large fender flares also suggest this car can go off-roading when the need arises, like if an ICBM takes out the road ahead. Lastly, this image of an agent holding the car door open for Obama while he enters the vehicle shows the true thickness of its doors. Based on that, we imagine the new Presidential Limo would score 50 stars if crash tested by the NHTSA.

Look at the thickness of the floor on the one with the door open its like 12 inches thick thats probably solid titanium alloy to protect from IED's. You can also see a screen right there which is probably hooked into EVERY network. So it has satellite capability but the install is way clean.
The car is a sealed unit once the doors are closed it has its own life support system too...You could stay cocooned in that thing for a few days as it has its own supplemental air tanks I think...
There has to be some kind of weapons defense system too, no doubt...I would be very interested to see what, it can probably take aplane down if needed...
Wonder how much it weighs...40000lbs?
