With all the coverage of the Ignauguration, I thought I would get in on the deal and talk about Cadillac One, Obama’s G-Ride. A lot of other news outlets have been covering the limo but no-one will reveal any tech-specs on the car. Luckily I saved this image from gizmodo while they still had it live.  This is very interesting indeed.

cadillac01I love this cutaway illustration of the new Cadillac One by John Lawson, Obama included. Specially things like “Doors: eight-inch thick and the weight of a 757 door”. Other highlights:

• It can withstand rocket impacts and it’s perfectly sealed against biochemical attacks.
• Petrol tank: Can withstand a direct hit thanks to a special foam and armor-plating.
• Bodywork: made of dual hardness steel, aluminum, titanium, and ceramics to “break up posible projectiles”.
• Tyres: Kevlar-reinforced with steel rims underneath so it can run away no matter what.
• Accessories include: Night vision cameras, pump-action shotguns, tear gas cannons.
• Comes with bottles of blood compatible with the President’s blood.

    Wow. Now I wish I had a car like that! That thing is ridiculous and loaded with a ton of features. I love the part about keeping some blood on board just in case.
