Washington:: "One of the specifications is that we don't talk about the specifications " David Caldwell, General Motors
This is how Mr. David Caldwell, a spokesman for General Motors which makes Cadillac, told the BBC on being asked about the specifications of the secret presidential limousine.
"It looks like something out of a James Bond film."
The only difference is that there are presidential seal on the sides which makes this 'hulking limo' out as something even the Superspy will not be able to lay his hands on.
The vehicle is nicknamed 'The Beast', and it will be unveiled on 20th January along side, the inaugration parade as per tradition to show off for the first time in this way.
The 'State of the art' presidential vehicle will provide utmost safety and highest level of protection. The vehicle which is designed as per specification given by the federal government will have "state of the art electronics".
The details are sketchy at the moment as expected, but Nicholas Trotta, their Assistant Director for the Office of Protective Operations is quoted in their news release which appeared in a section of the media as saying that:
"Although many of the vehicles' security enhancements cannot be discussed, it is safe to say that this car's security and coded communications systems make it the most technologically advanced protection vehicle in the world."
"Observers say the car is likely to include bullet proof glass, an armoured body, a separate oxygen supply, and a completely sealed interior to protect against a chemical attack."
