Beast | Exterior
The body of the beast is covered with a military-grade armour which is 5 inches thick. There is a combination of dual hardness steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramic in the body of the beast. The doors of the beast are 8 inches thick and carry the weight equal to the dorrs of a Boeing 757 jet. When closed they form a 100% seal to protect the occupants in the event of even a chemical attack. They can also prevent intruders because they can be electrified! Yeas, you read that right. The windows can’t be rolled down at all. Only the driver’s window can be rolled down and that too only by 3 inches. The windows have 5 layers of glass and polycarbonate which can withstand armour piercing bullets! The Kevlar-reinforced tyres are shred and puncture-resistant with steel rims underneath. This enables the car to run even in case the tyres are destroyed.

The rear compartment of the beast has a capacity of housing the president and upto 4 other passengers. There is glass separation among all of them. Only the president has access to lower the glass separations. Further, there is a panic button inside the beast and the car also has its own oxygen supply!
