For extra safety measures, the limo comes with a complex military-grade night vision system, electrified door handles to prevent intruders, and can even fire tear gas if needed.

The windows are three inches thick, and the chassis's armor is around eight inches thick, making it an effectively bulletproof vehicle.

On the inside of "The Beast," a refrigerator is stocked with the president's blood type in case of an accident.

"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," wrote the assistant director for the Secret Service's Office of Protective Operations on the official website.
