Does the US President’s car have gadgets worthy of a James Bond movie?

Nicknamed “The Beast,” the American president’s limousine is full of surprises.

Besides its power and the fact that it is fully armored, it has the following options:

-The trunk is full of weapons for the bodyguards

-Under the seats, there is a pharmacy with all the essential medicines and medical devices. There are also bags of blood compatible with the president’s, in case an emergency transfusion is needed. (An ambulance is always part of the presidential convoy, and it also contains blood bags, but in case the ambulance is destroyed or blocked, blood is also kept in the presidential limousine…)

-The limousine is hermetically sealed, protected from outside air and possible chemical attack. It has its own oxygen supply.

-A stand-alone, encrypted satellite phone and videoconferencing system are at the president’s disposal in case he needs to communicate with the Pentagon or any embassy or head of state, or even order a nuclear attack.

-The tires are puncture-proof and bulletproof, made with Kevlar.

-If the windshield is unusable, because it is covered with an opaque liquid or something else, the driver has the possibility of driving thanks to special glasses, connected to a hidden camera, which also has infrared technology, to drive without headlights in complete darkness if necessary.

But the best weapon of “The Beast” remains his driver. An agent trained in extreme driving, capable of getting out of, a priori, any tricky situation…
