Appearing at the main lobby of a luxury hotel on Do Duc Duc Street (Hanoi), the Presidential motorcade was impressive with all black cars and specialized equipment. Notably, two "The Beast" monsters were parked in the corner, these were the limousines carrying the President. On each business trip, there are usually at least two The Beasts on the road, so it is impossible to determine exactly which car Obama is sitting in.

The Beast is a limousine that GM produces for the US President, with a price tag of about $1.5 million. The car is bulletproof to the highest standards in the world, not only against guns, grenades, explosions but also against biological and chemical attacks.

The car also has a full set of communication, defense and attack systems, and also has a blood reserve of the same type as the President. The run-flat tires help the car to continue running at 80 km/h after the explosion.

Appearing with The Beast in the convoy were other rugged SUVs. Notably, there were about three Chevrolet Suburbans and a modified Ford F-series. These vehicles were used for secret service, medical missions, electronic warfare, and jamming.
