Obama and his new ride
Some of my friend may would like to know about Obama's new car.The car has been nicknamed the "Beast". The car is rumored to be able to withstand a rocket-propelled grenade, has a completely sealed interior to protect against chemical attacks, runs on flat tires and even has a seperate oxygen supply.It is worth US $300,000 but it’s not available on the market.I have googled about it's features. Here are some features revealed:
• 8 inches thick armor-plated doors, weighing the same as a cabin door on a Boeing 757 airliner.
• Driver’s window: tough enough to withstand armour-glencing bullet. The only window that opens – by just three inches – allows the driver to talk to the secret service agents running alongside.
• Driver’s Compartment includes standard steering wheel, but the dashboard is installed with a communication center and GPS tracking system.
• The boot contains an independent oxygen supply and advanced fire-fighting system.
• Defense systems include pump-action shotguns, night-vision cameras and tear-gas cannons. Supplies of the President’s blood will also be kept on board in case he needs emergency medical treatment.
• The petrol tank is amour-plated, while also being filled with specially designed foam to prevent it from exploding if the armor is penetrated.
• Tyres on the limousine are Kevlar-reinforced, puncture- and shred-resistant, with special steel rims that allow the car to continue driving even if the tyre is missing.
• The bodywork is made up of a combination of dual-hardness steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramic material to break up possible projectiles.
• Rear Seat: Obama’s seat has an executive packages featuring desktop, laptop computer with wi-fi, state of the art satellite phone and direct line to the vice president and Pentagon.
