Supposedly the beast has a max speed of 62-68 MPH.

The top speed is classified.

I'll bet money it is over 100 mph. It will run faster than 62-68 on the "run flat" tires.

You can fight a war out of that car. It is unbelievable the amount of weaponry on board. It also acts as a blast shield when the POTUS is out of the car.

How fast is the president's limo?
With 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) of armor, "a bubble top thicker than the protective cockpit of an F-16 fighter", and a 340-horsepower (250 kW) V8 engine, the 11,000-pound (5,000 kg) car could still reach speeds of 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) — or 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) with four flat tires.



That's for an earlier model. The current Cadillac One weighs around 20k and is Duramax powered.

The two current models were put into service in 2018.

What about just jailing those traitors who used, lied, and broke rules and laws trying to undo my vote?


F the limo at Daytona.

I seem to recall President Reagan attending the race at some point. Don’t remember what year, but Richard Petty won the race. Yes, I’m old.

I believe that was the July race.

Yes, July 1984. Ronnie gave the Start your engines command while AF1 was on the way down to Daytona and landed at the airport right behind the backstretch during the race.

It was Petty's 200th and final win.

Fun fact... after the race the president and all the drivers had lunch together in the garage area. I know it was fried chicken, and I want to say it was KFC.
