11 Things You Didn't Know About The President's Limousine

It Weighs 14,000 Pounds

One of the heaviest cars made today, the president’s limo weighs a whopping 14,000 pounds. That’s nearly three times as much as the typical car (most cars weigh around 5,000 pounds). All the extra weight is thanks to the tech, safety features, and armor built into the car. The extra weight means that the car only accelerates to about 60 miles per hour. This is why it’s not run on regular gas nor electricity. Instead, the president of the United States rides in the vehicle fueled by diesel every day. Diesel is inexpensive and more efficient for cars of Caddy One’s size and weight.
