All the ministers and head of state get well equipped cars designed with latest technology in it and if you are Barack Obama the US president then you will obviously ride a Beast Car . Obama will be using his Beast Limousine for 3 days in India during his exclusive visit.
What is the difference between Narendra Modi's BMW 7 and Barack Obama's Beast ?
First Narendra Modi's BMW'S Features
1) FUEL TANK : Like the Beast, Modi's BMW has an armoured fuel tank with a self-sealant system that prevents an explosion.
2) DOORS: The prime minister's BMW is renowned as world's first armoured saloon to be fully compliant with the requirements for class VR7 ballistic protection. It is tested with over 400 rounds of 7.62x51mm and 5.56x45mm rifle fired from all angles at all sides of the vehicle, including the windows, roof and rear hatch, and potential weak points such as door seams, pillars and handles.
3) BODYWORK: The outer shell of the car uses 6 inch armour grade alloy that is capable of dealing with AK 47 rifle fire, armour-piercing bullets and hand grenades. The chasis is specially reinforced to make it land-mine proof.
4) BOOT: Contains oxygen supply in case of any eventuality, fire fighting equipment and also reserve blood type of Modi.
5) SEAT: The car uses standard leather seats from the BMW's flagship sedans but is equipped with two 9.2 inch infotainment screens with internet connectivity. It is also equipped with satellite telephony.
6) TYRES: In case of a flat tyre, the top speed comes down to around 90 kph but it has a higher range of over 200 km.
7) WINDOWS: Uses lighter 3 inch armouring but keeps the Prime Minister as cocooned as the Beast. It has been tested to defy rifle and sniper attacks, chemical attacks and armour piercing bullets.
8) ENGINE: Modi's car is a better performer than Obama's Beast. It is powered by a 6-litre 12-cylinder petrol engine that has a top speed of 210 kmph and sprints from 0-100 kmph in 6.2 seconds. In a drag race, Modi would win hands down. The BMW guzzles less fuel as well at around 6 kpl.
9) CAVALCADE: Half a dozen BMW 7 series with similar specifications and another dozen armoured BMW X5 vehicles. Nobody knows which car is carrying Modi on any particular day.
10) PRICE : Modi's BMW at around Rs 5 crore is more affordable than the Beast. But these are the kind of cars that your money can't buy.
Now lets talk about Barack Obama's Beast Limousine
1) FUEL TANK: It's armour-plated and filled with a specially designed foam that prevents any explosion even in case of a direct hit.
2) DOORS: The eight inch-thick armour plating makes it as heavy as a Boeing 757 cabin door. It cannot be breached by AK 47 rifle fires, hand grenades or any other fire arm attack.
3) BODYWORK: The military-grade armour plating uses a hybrid construction: It is a mix of high tensile steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramic that breaks up potential projectiles. The chasis is also reinforced to withstand land mines.
4) BOOT: It holds supply of oxygen, firefighting equipment and also phials with each of Obama family's blood types.
5) PRESIDENT'S SEAT: Comes with satellite phone that keeps Obama connected with the world at all points of time. There is also a direct hotline connection to the Pentagon, the HQs of American military, and the office of the Vice President. The cabin is completely sealed to prevent any chemical attack.
6) TYRES: Reinforced with Kevlar and are shred- and puncture-resistant. Steel rims underneath enable the car to be driven away even if the tyres are blasted. In case of a flat tyre it is still capable of running at its full speed for a distance of 80 kmph.
7) ENGINES: 6.5 litre diesel but gross weight of nearly 8 tonnes makes it a slouch. Top speed of just 100 kph and it takes 15 seconds to get there from standstill. It is quite a guzzler as well with a mileage of just 3.4 km per litre. Thankfully, it runs on diesel.
8) WINDOWS: Capable of resisting armour-piercing bullets and .44 Magnum fire. Armour plating is at least 5 inches thick with five different layers. Only the driver side window opens by 3 inches to enable the driver to talk to secret service agents alongside.
9) PRICE: The Beast is rumoured to cost anywhere around Rs 8 crore.
10) CAVALCADE: A few other Cadillac vehicles that look similar to the Beast, a heavily armoured Chevrolet Suburban and a PreVost bus also known as Ground Force One.
