The USA’s Presidential limo, aka ‘The Beast’, carries almost everything you can think of for each and every one of the President’s needs.
It comes loaded with every type of gadget imaginable.
But it comes with a secret cache of something that you might not expect.
And it proves that, when it comes to ‘The Beast’, they really have thought of everything.

‘The Beast’ really prepares for everything
It sort of goes without saying that ‘The Beast’ is easily one of the most iconic cars in the world.
The 10-tonne Cadillac is the personal transport vehicle of the President of the United States (POTUS).
But what is so special about the cargo that it carries?
Unlike the stuff you would expect, there is a very special cargo onboard ‘The Beast’.
And that cargo…is a fridge full of blood.
Don’t worry, you haven’t accidentally stepped into a horror novel.
‘The Beast’ always carries a supply of blood that matches the President’s blood type.
This is, of course, in the event of some sort of immediate emergency or threat to the President.
But it gets even better (and safer) than just having a supply of refrigerated blood.
It turns out that the President’s limo also comes with its own oxygen supply system.

This can be piped directly into the hermetically sealed cabin in the event of an attack.
All of this exists to ensure the continuity and constant safety of POTUS wherever he goes.
Thankfully, ‘The Beast’ can hold up to seven people, so the President is never far from help.
Essential staff, including the President’s military doctor, often follow behind in the support convoy.
What else does Cadillac One provide?
Okay, so ‘The Beast’ really does have it all – but what else does it have?
Well, there are the aforementioned weapons and defensive systems onboard.
Because of all the armor, the President’s limo weighs about eight to 10 tonnes.
We’re not sure a direct hit from an M1 Abrams tank would be enough to take it off its feet.
Then, there are the incredibly advanced communications systems that sit inside the car.
Almost no sound can enter the cabin because of the armored plating.

Exterior sound is picked up with microphones on the outside and speakers inside.
Further communications technology allows ‘The Beast’ to communicate with vehicles within the motorcade.
POTUS is also able to dispatch the nuclear codes within ‘The Beast’ if necessary.
Turns out that the USA’s Presidential limo is even more impressive than we thought.
