The President's Car; The Car That Thinks it's a Tank!

Have you ever wished to drive around in a 10 ton, armour-plated tank? It’s easy! Just become the president!

The Cadillac One, nicknamed “The Beast”, gets #1 in ranking for the “luxury tank” category. For starters, it's custom-made for the United States Secret Service with a 7 inch thick titanium and multi-layered bullet-proof glass. The doors are as heavy as the cabin door of a Boeing 575 jet. An attack on the wheels? Even if they were all blasted away, the kevlar-reinforced steel could allow the vehicle to escape without a problem. An attack from below? No problem! The underbelly is plated with a 5-inch steel/titanium slab that can withstand military grade grenades! Along with keeping the president safe, a crucial job of the Cadillac One is to keep him alive if he is critically injured. The tank in disguise has a life unit and refrigerator stacked with the president’s blood type.

Forget leather…the seats are covered in blue fire-resistant cloth. Still comfortable, but way less likely to turn into a bonfire. Contrary to leather, the material is “climate resilient”, and thus is low maintenance. The Cadillac One is literally LOADED with defense accessories. Although the secret service has never revealed what kind of firepower the limousine packs, pump-action shotguns, night vision cameras, and tear-gas cannons are among some of the weapons speculated to be included. In terms of communication? The president is seated next to a state-of-the-art satellite phone that connects straight to the vice president and the Pentagon. 

Cadillac generates around $4.5 million dollars a year on these vehicles alone. But it’s absolutely worth it! The company considered every single aspect of attack possible, so that in the likely event of an emergency, the president will be 100% safe. This tank in disguise is bound to turn “luxurious” into an even crazier word; “ritzy”. Ooh that’s fun to say!! Thanks for reading, and God bless
