This car is not an ordinary car. It also not the mass production car, so you wont be able to buy this one even you have enough money to pay this. It's specially designed to protect the President of America from terror attacks or even, the bomb attack.
This is the most safety car in the world, worth over $1million, is 18ft in length, weighs 8 tons and has 8in thick armour plating on its doors. When the President is riding in one, the vehicle is officially known as Cadillac One. However, it's nickname is 'The Beast'.

Specially built for Mr President, the General Motors GM, made the vehicle boasts its own oxygen supply in case of chemical attack and puncture resistant, run-flat tyres reinforced with Kevlar technology. Most details of the car are classified for security reasons. However, it is rumored that it is fitted with military grade armor at least five inches thick, and the wheels are fitted with run flat tires that makes the vehicle drivable for a certain length of time if punctured. The doors weight as much as a Boeing 757 airplane cabin door.
The Duramax 6.6 liter diesel engine is equipped with an Eaton Twin Vortices Series 1900 supercharger system. The vehicle's fuel tank is leak-proof and explosion resistant. Due to the thickness of the glass, much natural light is excluded, so a fluorescent halo lighting system in the headliner is essential. The outside crowd is only heard through internal speakers.
The car is perfectly sealed against biochemical attacks and has its own oxygen supply and firefighting system built into the trunk. Unseen at a glance are two holes hidden inside the lower part of the vehicle's front bumper, which are able to emit tear gas. The vehicle can also fire a salvo of multi-spectrum infrared smoke grenades as a countermeasure to a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) or Anti Tank Missile (ATGM) attack and to act as a visual obscurant to operator guided missiles.

This is fired remotely by the United States Secret Service countermeasures Suburban which trails the limo and contains the sensors to detect the launch of such an attack. The limo is equipped with a driver's enhanced video system which allows the driver to operate in an infrared smoke environment. This driver's enhanced video system also contains bumper mounted night vision cameras for operation in pitch black conditions. Kept in the trunk is a blood bank of the President's blood type. Interestingly, there are no key holes in the doors. A special technique, known only to Secret Service agents, is required to gain access to the passenger area.
The car can seat seven people, including the president. The front seats two, and includes a console-mounted communications center. A Remington shotgun is kept beneath the driver's seat, stashed between his seat and door. A glass partition divides the front from back. Three rear-facing seats are in the back, with cushions that are able to fold over the partition. The two rear seats are reserved for the president and another passenger; these seats have the ability to recline individually. A folding desk is between the two rear seats. Storage compartments in the interior panels of the car contain advanced communication equipment which is called the Limousine Control Package and is operated by the White House Communication Agency.
