General Motors is calling it the Cadillac Presidential Limousine, but it is being described as an extended Cadillac DTS. Unfortunately, GM has been quiet on most of the cool features of the presidential limo, for security reasons. The few details GM did release include an embroidered presidential seal on the back seats and doors, and LED spotlights to illuminate the U.S. and Presidential flags when traveling at night. Oh, and the limo has "useful mobile office features," whatever that means.

Now for the good stuff. Unofficial reports claim that President Obama's new fancy-schmancy limo has 5-inch thick steel-plate armor (even underneath so if the limo gets flipped over it can still withstand an attack), an armor-plated explosion-proof gas tank, 8-inch thick doors, bulletproof glass, Kevlar shred/puncture-proof tires with steel wheels (so it can still drive away if those Kevlar tires happen to pop), a completely sealed interior with an oxygen tank in the trunk in case of chemical attack, and a 10-disk CD changer in case the new president gets board with the radio.

Whether or not these Batmobile-type security features really are on President Obama's new limo, keeping our new president safe might be a smidge easier with this car, which the Secret Service is calling "The Beast," by the way. Now, I just wonder how much of a car insurance discount you can get for bulletproof glass?
