They didn't mention another feature, that makes up for its low speed: it's always surrounded by other cars full of people with guns protecting it

Don’t need to outrun anything when your motorcade has a minigun.

62mph at 9 tons? That's actually pretty damn impressive

It also has an armored bottom intended to ensure that it can just run over IEDs without being damaged, and while the tires are designed to be extra tough and even bulletproof, the rims are designed so that they can be driven on without tires in the event that something does actually destroy the tires. The downside of being exceptionally heavy and slow is usually mitigated by the entire motorcade of other cars filled with Secret Service agents surrounding and protecting it.

They learned they lesson by adding the roof 💀

Yeah this need to do 60 in 4 seconds at least 😂

To calculate the kinetic energy of a 9-ton (8,165 kg) bulletproof, armored Cadillac traveling at 62 mph (27.7 m/s), we can use the formula: Kinetic Energy = (1/2) × mass × velocity^2 Substituting the values, we get: Kinetic Energy = (1/2) × 8,165 kg × (27.7 m/s)^2 = (1/2) × 8,165 kg × 767.29 m^2/s^2 = 3,135,082 kg·m^2/s^2 = 3,135,082 J To put this energy into perspective, we can compare it to some familiar equivalents: This kinetic energy is roughly equivalent to the amount of energy released by the detonation of 750 kg (1,650 lbs) of TNT. It's also comparable to the kinetic energy of a large truck weighing 40 tons (36,287 kg) traveling at around 35 mph (15.6 m/s). In terms of potential energy, it's equivalent to the energy required to lift a 1,000-ton (907,185 kg) object straight up by about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet). It's also approximately equal to the amount of electrical energy consumed by an average U.S. household in 10 months. So, the kinetic energy of a 9-ton bulletproof, armored Cadillac traveling at 62 mph is substantial and comparable to the energy released by a significant amount of explosives or the kinetic energy of a much larger vehicle at a lower speed. So in summary, if the 9-ton armored Cadillac impacted a rigid object at 62 mph, focusing the large kinetic energy through the relatively small grill area (24inches x 12 inches), it could experience incredibly high localized forces of around 1,600 psi or the equivalent of 780 tons per square inch of force on impact. Yeah, it don't need to run ..... but if it did.....

and in 1963 kennedy was like "lets use the convertible". times have changed

You dont need to be fast when you have the power to not be the one running 😈

AYO THE CAR AT THE BEGINNING💀💀

The Beast is NEVER alone 😂

Fight or flight my friend. This 4 wheeled fortress was not built to run away. It's built to stand and fight

Damn. Jfk really changed America

The speed bump in Dublin halted the beast🤣

The golden car looks like it came out of a hotwheels movie😭💀🙌

Let me get my point out there. A car like that doesn't need to outrun the attacker...nobody got a chance pf destroying such a thing.

9 ton at 62mph is a substantial amount of kinetic energy you don't want to try to stop. It may not be as nimble but they did name it The Beast for a reason.

“The Beast” was created in 2001. The 2018 is just an upgraded version of it.

Talk to any secret service agent, they do not call the limo the beast. They have never referred to it as the beast and never will. Just a fun fact.

As a diesel mechanic, that Caddy has enough torque to ram against any vehicle that tries to block its way, even in a stand still

I'm surprised tanks don't have these features Edit:so many notifications 💀

THE BEAST HOW PROPHETIC!!!!!

Keep in mind all he said is the information that has been shared with the public and is not classified

A 6.5 duramax doesn’t make much horsepower, however it makes a lot torque. So the engine is actually the perfect amount of power.

In the auto industry, 15 million to develop a car it's actually extremely cheap. It's common to spend a few billions to develop a whole new car.

Why not just put the president in a cyber truck?😂😂😂

Reminder that Military Grade means it's passable enough for the Military to use it, it doesn't mean it's extremely high quality

With a diesel engine, it’s not about horsepower;it’s about torque.

lol, Imagine It Also Come With "Trophy System"

it doesn’t need to go fast it’s almost a literal tank

It doesn't need to be fast, but 62mph for 9 tons is powerful to push anything in your way. Also its surrounded by a small army with firepower to scare away any threat. 🙏

And then you step out of that car and you're like a hermit crab without a shell.

“However the beast also has disadvantages” Hitmen: 📝📝📝📝📝📝

Bro called me poor in a 100 languages. 💀

You forgot the freezer full of ice cream.

Context , it’s all about how long you can be safe before backup arrive , not how fast you can go , in some dangers speed doesn’t help

While I was deployed to Iraq in 2004, my unit tested an early version of the system used to prevent remote detonations. It was called the Warlock, they had it mounted in an older humvee and it worked great for IEDs but made long range communications nearly impossible. The few times we had IEDs go off near us, it was always behind us and about the exact distance they estimated the "protective bubble" to be, it saved my ass at least once...

That’s way cheaper than I would have thought honestly good job GM

the gold super car looked sick

You don't have to be strong in the chase when you are escorted by 3 platoons of warriors, and have active air support.

Sure, 214 hp doesn't sound like a lot, but it's the torque that gets diesel-powered cars moving.

Has an anti aircraft rocket system in trunk. Classified

"Is not strong in the chase" Welcome to the watchlist, friend

So he's basically driven around in a Military vehicle that looks like a Cadillac Limousine.

Damn the presidential limo. I wanna see that gold thing.

This car is always 100% clean. A huge 4ft wide suction cup tied to an helicopter can lift it anytime and when you are high enough you just let gravity do its job.

Brandon is gold. We must protect him at all costs

With all that security who needs to run away ...play Tetris and relax pres😊

It’s not built to be fast it’s built to protect until support shows up.

President : ohh.. guys can you call my turtle here right now

For those of us who have been in the military, when you hear "military grade"... it means it'll likely keep breaking down on you

It doesn't have to be fast, it weighs 9 tons...Nothing short of a tank is gonna stop it.

You can not have both security and speed. The security exists to reduce the need for speed.

My father In-law invented the bullet proof glass.

Shoutout to Oats Studios for the opening gold limo

They are wrong about the engine its a 6.6turbo diesel 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque and im sure they have made the engine way more powerful.

The Beast doesn’t have an electronic warfare system, they have another vehicle which jams signals.

Aint no way the first one comes from gangster Vegas special cars that you can sell💀💀

Boy i don't want to go fast,i want to go safe 😂

The transmitter is NOT in the beast, its in one of the chevy suburban in a convoy. Thats the whole purpose of the convoy. Each vehicle has it's own purpose.

When someone says that monsters don’t exist I’ll show them this video

Editing skills I appreciate the most

Way back in the day, you could just go to the white house and walk in and meet with the president. Times have changed.

6.2 liter diesel engine? That should compete with tractors, they ain't fast, but they are sure strong

The beast should be Mr Beast’s car

"HEY LET’S RACE THIS PRESIDENT CAR" - some guy

I bet it could blow thru a car blockade with how heavy it is with all that armor. Be like a fully loaded dumptruck.

Meanwhile for the average citizen, GM develops garbage not worth buying.

THE BEAST tough name to call it.

The Presidential Beast is probably carrying more gadgets than Batman, James Bond, Tony Stark and Inspector Gadget all combined. At the end of the day though, it's only safe and capable of whatever they tell us it is.

214hp for 9 tons is still an incredibly high power to weight ratio. You dont want to get rammed by that shi

Imagine the president joins the race

The colors don't run away my friend

I'm surprised Koenigsegg showed up in 2 seconds

"I see a line of cars and they're all painted black."

It's gotta go slow enough for security teams to catch up.

"military grade armor" lol

It's got mountain of torque. Mass and torque equals unstoppable!

That slow speed will make kidnapping or getting away with the vehicle difficult.

They forgot to mention the whole damn Air Force and etc. at the hand of a phone call away😂😂😂

The Beast may not be fast, but it's heavily protected and secure. The president's limo is like a mobile fortress on wheels.

I didn't think the 10cm thing was true then I saw them opening the door.

Basically James Bond helped make those! 😂

long story short: your a tank, you dont need to go fast

Who’s here for the gold car? Man, i just wanna press that clickbait scam button

It's a 6.6 Whittier Duramax

To not have the opportunity to run is insane. GM has a field of motors to pick from.

"Military Grade" 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for telling everyone the weakness of the President's limo.

It was literally defeated by a speed bump here in the UK 😂

I’ve been on the sidewalk when the motorcade passed and your cellphone won’t get a signal, not until it passed

A single hit at 62mph is enough 😂

When you're as protected as the president is, you don't need speed

assassin is the driver 🤣🤣

Having network issues when the car pass by😎

M-military grade armor..? Are we sure they're safe? **Eyes M1126 Stryker nervously** 👀

That would be great if we had a president worth protecting

The Beast doesn't need to be fast when it's surrounded by a motorcade of fast cars filled with heavily armed security.

The fact remains the POTUS is safe, coupled with all the Secret Service Agents that will protect him. The protectee must remain guarded no matter what! Semper Fi

the fact that they finally added the roof is so mind blowing tbh
