Obamas new ride is rumored to be pretty serious. as in 5-8" of armor. It is said it may be based on the topkick platform, and run gm's duramax.

Cadillac really is expanding. 1st a 550hp sedan, and now a diesel limo.

He is going to put 25's on it....You know it.

Looks pretty sweet but I would have thought he would have gone with something a lil more like this:

Then again he is about the whitest black man I have ever seen so I don't know really.

I found this cool neat little cutaway about the car and 'some' of the features it has:

Never seen wheels like that, with the outer steel rim to drive on if they tires are somehow destroyed.

Anybody else find it odd that they tell the price of an American presidents car in euro's?
Also found it funny that it says about the "tyres", "enabling the car to escape with speed" then on the fact sheet max speed 60mph lol

[lil krumm]

last i heard on my truck forums its based off the 3/4 ton truck aka 2500. not the 4500 kodiak.

[69gt4speed]

60 mph top speed yea I bet. Bet its got spring and air suspension also. And that diesel is highly boosted.

And you know the CIA trained chauffeur has thrown that big beast around doing some practice evasive driving maneuvers. I'd like to see what the CIA training consists of.

Just read on that picture that they keep bottles of his blood on board in case he needs an emergency transfusion. Awesome.

the article is probably from somewhere in europe i'd imagine. and as heavy as that thing probably is, 60 mph in a city setting is still pretty fast.

8 miles to the gallon. I see our newly elected President is leading a great example on going green. :roll:
