No kidding. They try to hide it as best they can, but that thing is armor-plated better than most APCs. Probably weighs about 20,000 pounds.

That's just to throw people off, it really has a flat 12 aircooled engine.

But did they include the cigarette ash trays in the back? The Pres is a smoker.

I can see Mr. President standing in front of the white house taking a ciggy break, after all, all public facilities are non smoking.

LOL

How ironic is it that the first black president will be riding in a decked out Cadi..can we accuse them of "racial profiling"??!

Doesnt the current white president ride in a decked out caddy? Probably a few of his white predecessors did too.

I think its beautiful in its function. I mean did you expect a 4 ton vehicle rolling down the road to look good?

I really do wonder about its power plant.

Dam that's some serious armor!

Went to the Reagan Museum last winter and I thought his car was a tank. Obviously, Obama needs a bit more protection.

The limo wasn't designed for a specific president. It's just the next gen. presidential limo.
