A brand new incarnation of the official limo dubbed 'the Beast', built especially for President Trump, is set to be unveiled in a matter of months.

Leaked photos from November 2016 showed a prototype of the vehicle being driven on public road, complete with its camouflage
The armored $1.5 million Cadillac - which comes complete with eight-inch thick doors, a bomb-proof exterior, and an oxygen supply in case of a chemical attack - has been handed over to the Secret Service for final tests.

It was meant to be ready for Trump's inauguration last year, but the completion date was repeatedly pushed back until officials announced on Thursday it would be unveiled in 'late summer'.

'We've completed our task and we've handed over the vehicle to the customer,' Cadillac President Johann de Nysschen told Fox News.

A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service confirmed the news, and added: 'The program to build and deploy the next generation of Presidential limousines is on track and on schedule — both in terms of vendor production and internal Secret Service post production requirements.

'The public can expect to see the new vehicles put into operational use late summer of this year.'

The sedan is longer than two large SUVs and, for the moment, remains in white and black camouflage designed to make it more difficult to identify new features aboard the vehicle. It is pictured here, middle, in March

For the moment, President Trump has to make do with an earlier model of the Beast which was built for President Obama.

Leaked photos from November 2016 showed a prototype of the new vehicle being driven on public roads.

The final version will be painted black and silver just like the current version, once it is given the final approval.

It will be part of a fleet of 12 which cost around $15.8 million and is arguably the safest vehicle in the world, as befits the President of the United States.

The Beast weighs eight tonnes and has eight-inch thick steel doors that weigh the same as those on a Boeing 757 - and are sealed to withstand biological and chemical attacks.

The front windscreen can withstand armour piercing bullets or a .44 magnum and the bodywork is military grade and five inches thick.

The reinforced undercarriage with withstand going over a roadside bomb and the fuel tank is explosive resistant.

Only the driver's side window can open in case he needs to pay a toll - and in the boot are cases of the President's blood for an emergency transfusion.

Among the other features are shotguns on board in case an attack breaks out, Kevlar tyres that run even if they are flat and an oxygen system in the trunk in case of a chemical attack.

A number of guns are hidden in the front grille of the vehicle which can be used to fire on an attacker.

But while the appearance of the car might be mundane from the outside, under the skin it is anything but ordinary.

The current state car is thought to weigh eight tons due to the huge amount of armor plating built into the frame.

The doors are around eight inches thick, each weigh the same as the door of a Boeing 747 jet, and completely seal the cabin to protect it from a chemical or biological attack.

someone should inform trump that no amount of armour can stop benin witches from getting you!
