The tests have been conducted at a hidden location and details of the new security measures are a closely guarded secret.<!--more--><br \/>\nThe few shots show a camouflaged car that looks like a modified version of the current Cadillac-branded Beast. The vehicle features the same headlight and grille design but with an elongated body. The new presidential limo will eventually be painted in black and silver as the previous one.<br \/>\nGeneral Motors has been awarded three contracts worth $15 million to develop the next generation state limousines. The U.S secret service is thought to maintain a fleet of around 12 similar vehicles, each with a price tag of $1,5 million.<br \/>\nThe new vehicle is expected to include similar features as the previous one, plus the latest safety technology. The current model weighs eight tones due to the huge amount of armor plating built into the frame. The doors are around eight inches thick and each of them weighs the same as the door of a Boeing jet. The windows are able to withstand armor-piercing bullets and even explosions. The vehicle has a top speed of 60 mph but it can run in almost any conditions. The car is even packed with two pints of the President\u2019s blood for emergency transfusions.<br \/>\nPresident Donald Trump is an owner of a large expensive car collection, a well-known fan of Rolls Royces and he even has an electric blue Lamborghini Diablo. However, he may be disappointed he won\u2019t be able to drive any of them, as he will have to ride everywhere in the new Limo One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new state limo, known as The Beast, that will be used to transport the 45th President &#8211; Donald Trump, is almost ready, as a series of leaked pictures of a top-secret testing appears to reveal.
