The President’s Top Secret Limousine: What’s Really Inside "The Beast"?
When the President of the United States travels, so does one of the world’s most mysterious and secure vehicles — a vehicle known only as “The Beast.” More than just a car, it’s a rolling fortress, a symbol of American power, and a masterpiece of classified engineering.
Let’s go behind the bulletproof glass and explore what makes this limo unlike anything else on the road.
🛡️ 1. What is “The Beast”?
Officially called Cadillac One, this custom-built limousine is commissioned by the U.S. Secret Service and designed by General Motors. It looks like a stretched Cadillac, but beneath the surface is military-grade tech and defensive systems designed to protect the most powerful person on Earth.
🔒 2. Armor That Defies Imagination
5-inch thick bulletproof glass
8-inch thick armor-plated doors (as heavy as a Boeing 757 cabin door)
A sealed cabin to withstand chemical, biological, and nuclear attacks
Reinforced steel and titanium chassis to survive roadside bombs and IEDs
⚙️ 3. Secret Tech & Gadgets
Night vision and infrared cameras
Satellite phone with direct lines to the Pentagon and Vice President
Tear gas cannons and a shotgun onboard
Smoke screens and oil slick dispensers for escape scenarios
Advanced communication jammers to block remote-triggered explosives
🚑 4. Built-In Medical Emergency Features
Refrigerator stocked with the President’s own blood type
Oxygen supply and fire suppression system
Life-support systems for trauma response
👥 5. Security Convoy
“The Beast” rarely travels alone. It’s part of a motorcade that includes:
Decoy limos to confuse threats
SUVs filled with Secret Service agents
An electronic warfare vehicle to counter attacks
Press and support vehicles for logistics
🧠 Fun Fact:
The President doesn't just have one Beast — there are a dozen or more, rotated constantly so no one knows which one the President is really in.
🏁 Final Word
In the world of elite protection, “The Beast” is unmatched. It’s not just a limo—it's a statement of power, preparedness, and protection. The exact specifications are top secret, but what we do know is enough to blow your mind.

Step into the vivid world of Woodblock New Year Prints (木版年画) — a traditional Chinese folk art once used to celebrate the Lunar New Year with colour, luck, and meaning. These hand-carved, brightly printed works were not just art; they were symbols of protection, prosperity, and storytelling, passed down through generations.
Now, in New Zealand’s multicultural and artistic landscape, this ancient practice is being reinterpreted by Kiwi artists, educators, and cultural communities. From printmaking studios in Wellington to Lunar New Year festivals in Auckland and Christchurch, woodblock New Year prints are making a comeback — not just as beautiful décor, but as a deeply symbolic cross-cultural dialogue.
With rising interest in heritage art, slow print techniques, and East Asian aesthetics, Aotearoa is embracing 木版年画 in ways both traditional and modern. They’re being used in:
Art exhibitions and gallery installations exploring identity and diaspora
School and university programs teaching cultural literacy through hands-on printmaking
Local design markets showcasing sustainable, hand-crafted giftware
Collaborations between Māori and Chinese artists focused on whakapapa and pattern-based storytelling
This resurgence is more than nostalgic — it’s a statement. A statement that even in a digital world, people still crave human touch, cultural richness, and ritual connection.
