When US presidents aren't flying on Air Force One or taking helicopter trips in Marine One , they're driven around in a presidential limousine nicknamed "The Beast." Weighing 20,000 pounds and outfitted with advanced security and communications systems, the newest model of "The Beast" debuted during the first Trump administration in 2018.

The custom Cadillac reportedly cost around $1.5 million to build.

The vehicle made headlines in August 2025, when Russian President Vladimir Putin rode in the limousine alongside President Donald Trump as the two met in Alaska to discuss the war in Ukraine.

The president and first lady also rode in it through Washington, DC, on Sunday as part of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.

Take a look inside the famous vehicle.

The latest model of the presidential limousine was commissioned by the US Secret Service in 2014 and used for the first time in 2018 by President Donald Trump.

Designed to look like a longer version of the Cadillac CT6, the car's chassis is actually that of a General Motors heavy-duty Chevrolet Kodiak truck, NBC News reported.

The heavily armored vehicle is bulletproof, blast-resistant, and sealed to withstand biochemical attacks.
