Debuta en el exterior la limusina de Trump Interactivo

November 11, 2018 - La nueva versión de la limusina Cadillac de General Motors del presidente de EUA Donald Trump apodada “La Bestia” hará su
primer viaje al exterior durante la próxima visita de Trump a París

The new armoured limousine appeared for the first time in public on Sep 24 when it ferried President Trump around New York ahead of the United Nations General Assembly meetings.

The previous version of the limo first appeared in January 2009 just before Barack Obama took office.

Trump’s new limo features 125mm-thick armour and 200mm-thick doors that weigh as much as a commercial aircraft door. Its components include titanium, ceramics, and a bombproof plate that covers the underside. As such, the old Beast is estimated to weigh around 9,000kg.

It's equipped with run-flat tires and night-vision gear. It can fire gas canisters out of the front bumper.

GM won contracts worth $15.8 million for two phases of the development of the limo from 2014 through 2017, according to federal contracting records, but it is not clear if that represents all development costs.
