PHOTOS: Spy Photos Show Auto Designed For President Trump

On the day Donald Trump becomes president, he�ll likely be getting two sets of keys: one for the White House and one for a brand new car.

Although its existence hasn�t been officially confirmed, General Motors has been spotted testing what appears to be the presidential limousine that will replace the �Beast� that protects President Obama.

Spy photographers stalking GM�s proving grounds over the summer snapped a few shots of a camouflaged vehicle that looks like a modified version of the current Cadillac-branded state car.

Its profile is nearly identical, but it features Cadillac�s latest style, including vertical LED headlights and a CT6-like grille with the company�s new wreathless crest in the center.

Details about the Beast are kept secret for reasons of national security, but while it looks like a sedan, it�s understood to be a medium-duty truck in disguise. Obama once revealed to Jerry Seinfeld that it�s �a Caddy, basically on a tank frame.�

The 15,000- to 20,000-pound luxury car needs it to haul around an armored passenger compartment that can reportedly take a hit from an IED or RPG and carries its own air supply to allow it to drive through chemical weapons attacks.

The U.S. Secret Service maintains a fleet of around a dozen similar vehicles, each with a price tag believed to be in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. General Motors has not commented on the vehicle, but it does currently hold contracts worth nearly $16 million that run through 2017 for work on the �next generation parade limousine.�

That year is significant. It�s when Trump takes office, and the original Beast was revealed just a week before Obama was sworn in on Inauguration Day, 2009.
