The New 2009 Presidential Limo


Just looking at it I can only imagine what the survival features are. I would love to see a comparison between this limo and a Mercedes Guard S600.

RR needs to answer this by giving the queen of England a beefed up Phantom the size of a small lorry.
 
Waouw that's a huge car, it's as if they made a limo from a truck and not a sedan.
 
with the door open, you can see how thick the metal is, and if you look carefully you can see and LCD panael inside ;)
 
Video clip of the motorcade from the White House to the Capitol. The car looks mean from a frontal perspective. Can't wait to see the car when Obama comes to London which hopefully will be soon. I know he's longing to share some beef jerky with Gordon Brown over tea.

Hmm, the plate is different in one shot. Does that mean there's two of them, just like there's two Air Force One.
One is "USA 1" and the other is just "1"
 
There will be 4 of these made and put to use in total.

The car is based on combination of a Cadillac and GM truck chassis. How so, don't ask me. This was all on TV a few days ago.

They also said that the Secret Service took the entire car apart upon delivery to check for listening devices and then re-assembled it.

The Caddy is on a different league. It has sensors that can detect chemical attacks such as gas and others. Plus it features equipment that jam bombs that are triggered using cellphones. Then it probably has other securities we don't know off. Very high tech stuff.

Boy that's a sentence you don't read everyday...lol. Yeah I'm sure it is, it has to be. Can you imagine being part of the Presidential motor pool? Must be a fascinating job.

Imo, it's not that good... should be around 6-7 mpg! She is mad heavy & got an enormous fuel tank! :winkgrin:

8 mpg is an estimation of the best it'll probably get :)

Going half a mile an hour yesterday during the parade probably wasted 10 gallons of gas.
