twintornados Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) It was a safe bet that Lincoln would not make the next "Beast"...looks like she got the new grille style.

630land Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's a virtual "Escalade Sedan". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Why wouldn't they just use an Escalade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Just to reinforce that this is a speculative rendering, it has not been revealed. test mules have been photographed. It's safe to say whatever renderings are out there that look like this one are probably accurate. http://blog.caranddriver.com/hail-to-the-beast-hillary-or-donalds-new-presidential-limo-caught-testing/ Edited December 12, 2016 by fuzzymoomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Practically the only part on that vehicle that is Cadillac is the grill. It is a custom built vehicle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Why wouldn't they just use an Escalade? Because its actually built on a heavy duty truck frame/platform. I saw the presidential limo about 20 years ago and the doors on it are about as thick as a bank door due to armor in them...this thing weighs significantly more then a full sized SUV...how much more is classified though.

atomcat68 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 It needs a HUUUGE orange landau roof on top! And maybe a gold grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Definitely needs more gold and a YUGE TRUMP decal on the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewfanGRB Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Why wouldn't they just use an Escalade? Because even though The Beast is nearly entirely custom-made, I think the USSS likes that the vehicle is lower. In the even of a threat or attack, the agents literally shove POTUS into the vehicle and cover him. It's a lot easier to do that in a lower-profile vehicle.

It probably handles better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
