>The current presidential limousine, which is referred to as "The Beast," will be altered for the next President of the United States. Our photographers managed to capture the vehicle testing.

>" The Beast 2.0" will follow closely behind the current presidential limousine that's built upon a rugged commercial truck chassis and has a sedan-like body. Instead of wearing styling details from the now-retired Cadillac STS, the new presidential limo appears to borrow looks from the latest Escalade and the CT6 sedan. The bomb-proof prototype is wearing LED headlights, has a more angular grille that features Cadillac's wreathless crest, and ditches regular antennas for a shark fin unit.

>Other than these changes, the Beast 2.0 should still be able to house seven passengers and have enough protection to be one of the safest vehicles on the planet. The prototype looks like it's higher off the ground, as well, which should help the next president to avoid an embarrassing moment.

How many of this vehicle will they actually make? I know the president always travels in a convoy with 3 identical vehicles for security reasons, but they probably have to have at least 1 spare if one of them breaks down, as well as some models they would have made for testing that could have been destroyed by shooting/bombing them. I'd guess that 6-8 of these things are actually built.

Wikipedia says that it's speculated that it either has a Vortec 8.1L V8 or a diesel Duramax 6.6L turbo V8.

It's a custom built vehicle. From what I understand they take a heavy duty commercial truck chassis, build a body made of 8 inches of armoured plating, and then stick a Vortec v8 in it, and then add a bunch of James Bond-tier weapons and defense systems into it. I read somewhere that they actually built the tear-gas cannons behind the front grill so that they can shoot it while driving.

Wow, 20 whole cm of non-angled armor, no idea how anyone could penetrate that.

My handy-dandy chart tells me a 150mm casing with a charge of 20kg and a total weight of 43kg should do the job out to 75m

So yeah, EFPs fuck shit up.

>>16480814
Not to mention that EFPs when made properly can shoot around 6moa (this is an pretty iffy number so I padded it, I've seen some 3moa statements which frankly I think is impossible in the home) so I could easily target windows. Yeah, your fancy limo will protect you from some lame-ass anfo satchel charges, rifles, your basic snackbar shit, but if one really wanted to kill the president the thing actually protecting him is that you've only got a 33% chance to win.

>>16480705
It's only Trump, Russia are more likely to pay than we are, they have more invested in him.

>>16480825
Actually, you could use 2-3 SIM-EFPs and for a total of around 20 projectiles, and use it like a shotgun, depending on projectile spread to score multiple hits to weakpoints and increasing your chance of scoring a killshot (penetrators don't generally kill the occupants, what with anti-spall and shit like that, although they may have cut corners on it, it's a limo not a tonk)

>Jackson beat him with a cane so hard that people held him back.
There is a context to why Andrew Jackson was so irate at being attacked. That was the SECOND time he had been physically attacked while being president.

The first time he was attacked, Jackson declined to press charges, so the attacker got away with no punishment. Remember, there were not so many laws regulating every behaviour back than as there are today. The Founding Fathers would be shocked to see how laws exist for everything because that was not their typical mindset. If anything, having so many laws would fit into their concept of tyranny of government.

It's a shame american presidents don't really meet the people anymore except at highly staged appearances. But that's how they avoid being assassinated by other gun-toting americans.

Here's an example of an armored vehicle needing to pay tolls the hard way because it didn't have a convenient side opening like the presidential limousine.

>>16480814
Someone could simply make a catapult and sling a crow-sized self-forging explosive into the intersection. It would self-forge an explosive spear of hot metal into the roof of the presidential car. Those could be smuggled into the country since they are used as packed components of artillery shells and munition-dropping missiles used to eliminate armored vehicles.

It's less of a deal for three reasons.

First, it still complies with emissions when road driven in a manner that stimulates the standard, because it doesn't detect being dynotested and then change it's behavior, it's just told to act a certain way which complies with the test and another when used in a manner that isn't mentioned in the test.

The second is that we haven't proven a massive cover-up compete with document destruction, yet.

Third, this covers a lot fewer cars.
