The United States (US) is a country that takes great care to protect its president. In fact, Uncle Sam’s country’s president was given a special presidential car that will be used wherever the leader goes, including abroad. President of the United States (US) Joe Biden drove his own armored car to the G20 Summit in Bali. The Beast is the nickname given to this vehicle.

This car arrived first in Bali, greeting Biden after he stepped off Air Force One at the VVIP Terminal of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport around 22.14 WITA. According to NBC News, the Beast that is currently being used alone was manufactured in 2018. The car, which cost US$15.8 million (Rp 244 billion) at the time, was designed to resemble a stretched version of the Cadillac XT6 sedan.

The Beast’s appearance is interpreted as additional protection for Biden during the G20 summit, which will take place November 15-16, 2022. Previously, the Secretariat of State stated that the government provided bulletproof cars to accompany heads of state during G20 summits, but that the number was limited. Countries that order bulletproof cars first are said to be able to get them first, while others are advised to bring their own. Nonetheless, the US appears overly concerned with this issue, as The Beast is frequently carried and has become the protocol of the US president when visiting various countries.

Speaking of The Beast, this heavyweight limousine is already well known as the primary vehicle for Uncle Sam’s country’s number one person. This car, codenamed Stagecoach, was built to Secret Service specifications. For various threats, the body of this 7-passenger limousine is coated with a combination of steel, aluminum, and ceramic armor. The Secret Service refused to provide specifics, but the walls of the limousine are thought to be at least eight inches thick, with five inches of multilayer windows that make the car door look like a Boeing 757 plane.

The car also has a biochemical attack protection feature and run-flat tires, which allow the vehicle to continue running even if the tires are hit by bullets in an emergency situation. There were also medical supplies in the car, such as a refrigerator stocked with the president’s blood type. Furthermore, The Beast can remove smoke screens, fire tear gas, and lay a layer of oil to make it difficult for vehicles chasing it. In fact, door knobs can be electrocuted to shock anyone who tries to enter.
