Obama's BEAST!

[Pherelas]

Looks cool, must have a beast of an engine as I bet it ways a ton (well a bit more).

If he drove an Escalade, then Greenpeace would throw a fit and he would be called a hypocrit and all kinds of crapp would happen. The DTS gets pretty good mileage for the size engine it has and it's very luxurious, despite being so old. So, that's what they choose.

[Immelmann]

It's too tall, and everything about the wheels seems wrong

" Dear Obama,

 

Your car is not green for the environment! IT WILL BE TUHHMENATED!

 

Love

- Arnold Schwarzenegger, GUHVENAH OF CALIFONIA! "

Hahahahahahahahaha!! That was good!

[gingervette]

While watching the Inaguration, I noticed something wierd about it...It's hardly a DTS at all lol.

 

The Body is a DTS, but the roofline is raised to account for the extra steel protection, it has an entire, re-sized Escalade front end, a new CTS fron grille, and STS rear and, XLR exhuast pipes, and SRX taillights.

 

They simply took the DTS and added components from all other Cadillac models to it...very clever.:)

It's called the Cadillac One.

that would explain it then. absolutely custom built, from the frame up as a limousine. that would eliminate alot of the problems that limos normally have, like how a limo's frame is normally as stiff as wet noodles thanks to the stretching process (which is pretty much "cut the car in two, add two long bits of metal for to extend the chassis, and weld it all back together with some sheet metal to fill in the holes"). This presents a little hope in my eyes, because if the government is getting smart enough to use purpose-built vehicles for protecting politicians, maybe they will make purpose-built equipment for the boys in the armed forces (as opposed to the catch-all platforms they are trying to build right now)

[Immelmann]

Pfft, yeah right.

Here's more facts about the Beast.

that car has close to 5 inches of glass for a wind sheild. i would have to agree that this car is BEAST! When the CIA first got the car they stripped it down and rebuilt it to check for any bugs or bombs

[Camel]

Imagine going to a destruction derby in one of those, that would be so cool lol

[Guest RB26DETT]

0-60 in 15 secs, top speed 60mph! LOL

[KoenigseggBG]

And it weights a bit more than the Earth...;)

[Immelmann]

"With steel rims underneath enabling the car to escape at speed even if the tyres are blasted away"

Hahahaha! Right!

[-Lr-SpeedraceR]

Even if the limo is not the most beautiful, I really prefer this presidential car than our french one :

...

[gingervette]

eww, that's crapp lol
