Foreign press once quoted supercar tuning company Dartz Motorz ​​as saying that they are custom-making a gold-plated supercar for Mr. Donald Trump on the basis of a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.

The car is bulletproof, has 1,500 horsepower and is equipped with an electric shock system on the door handles. However, many people think that this is just the car that Dartz Motorz ​​has reserved for Mr. Trump. The car that will accompany him to the inauguration ceremony at the White House will be a completely different car.

Up to now, the 2017 Cadillac dedicated to the 45th President of the United States has not been made public. However, the car is said to have been secretly produced 2 years ago and is ready to appear with Donal Trump at his inauguration as President.

Over the past 50 years, each generation of the Presidential limousine has had its own unique characteristics and significance. Each version serving the head of the White House has a different style (or brand). Even the interior of the car has been redone after each President.

The transition from a limousine built on the Cadillac Fleetwood sedan platform of President Bill Clinton to a limousine built on the GMT800 of President George W. Bush was a significant step. However, the limousine that appeared when President Barack Obama took office in 2009 was built on the new Kodiak platform, which was considered a significant change in both design and technical equipment.

Information published on many international newspapers also said that the 2017 version has not really changed much compared to its predecessor in both design and interior layout. But, what can Trump, the newly elected president, expect from the 2017 Cadillac limousine, the car that will accompany him on his trips?

The prototype of the 2017 Cadillac has reportedly been spotted testing on the road by GM, and many believe it bears a striking resemblance to Obama’s “The Beast.” This means the new car will also use the heavy-duty Kodiak platform and will still be based on the original “Cadillac Escalade sedan” from the grille, headlights, and front-end details.

In fact, many sources say that the car for Mr. Trump does not change much in terms of interior layout compared to Mr. Obama's Beast. A 7-seat car is designed in a 2+3+2 style. In which, the 5-seat passenger compartment with conference room style and the President's seat are still completely separate.

The biggest changes will be the upgrade of the communication equipment equipped on the car and the chassis of the car will probably be adjusted to increase by a few centimeters. The length of the car will be from 5.4 to 5.7 meters and the new car can be equipped with a diesel engine to ensure power.
