General specifications

Most details of the car are classified for security reasons. It is completely fitted with military grade armor 8 inches thick for maximum protection, and the wheels are fitted with run flat tires.

The car can seat seven people, including the president. The front seats two, and includes a console-mounted communications center.

A glass partition divides the front from back. Three rear facing seats are in the back, with cushions that are able to fold over the partition. The two rear seats are reserved for the president and another passenger; these seats have the ability to recline individually. A folding desk is between the two rear seats. Storage compartments in the interior panels of the car contain communications equipment.

The Secret Service refers to the heavily-armored vehicle as "the beast".
