Trump's 'Cadillac One' limo will have tear gas cannon, shotgun: report © Getty Images Donald Trump’s new presidential limousine will be fully stocked with weaponry, bullet-proof windows and doors, and even bottles of the president-elect’s blood type in case of emergencies, according to new reports.
The “Cadillac One” limousine, set to debut on Inauguration Day, will replace a fleet of nearly a dozen limos that have served President Obama since 2009, Autoweek reported.
The new presidential limousine, also known as “The Beast,” will cost as much as $1.5 million, the New York Post reported.
The limo will be stocked with the president's blood type in case the ambulance that travels with the motorcade can't get access to Trump, Autoweek said. It also will be equipped with a tear gas cannon and a shotgun. It will also reportedly be plated with military-grade armor, making the doors so heavy that President Trump won't be able to open them from the inside.

I don’t think that Trump would have approved of the cost per vehicle.
How much of this is pure BS it is hard to determine but most seems like crap.
And in the trunk, instead of a spare tire - Chuck Norris
Good they have an improved vehicle for Trumps safety, and at that cost which isn’t that bad considering what they won’t tell the public what its capabilities really are.
I hope it has better ground clearance this time.
Will it have lifts so it will never get stuck going through a gate
False News?
Good, because the Dixie Mafia, Demo Marxists, anarchists, Soros thugs etc. are going to go all out to try to stop Trump. Prayers up for him and restoration of our Republic.
Let’s think about this for a second...just for a second. Since he is not yet president and since the car is ready to go, do you think that perhaps, just perhaps, just maybe, that it was approved a long long time ago? Or do you really think the car was designed, engineered, built and tested since Nov. 8?
How about a “top turret”, like a B-17?
I’m glad you just know - makes me feel better. As they say, those who know, don’t.
Needs reactive armor.
LOL
And a gunner with a .50 caliber.
And rocket launchers and flame throwers.
[this is why no one lets me design cars]
:)
It would take 5 years of planing and engineering before the vehicle would be approved and another 3 years to build it.
Maybe so, but I like how you think. :-)
Why is this Trump’s Cadillac One? Did Obama anticipate a Trump victory when he ordered it? Doubt it.

Tried to import it to the US some years ago, no luck
This has been in the news for months already. This is a recent photo of what people think was The Beast: https://au.news.yahoo.com/technology/a/33832559/trumps-new-presidential-limo-cadillac-one-the-beast-comes-with-armour-plating-tear-gas-cannon-and-kevlar-tyres/#page1
