Foreign media outlets have previously quoted Dartz Motorz, a custom supercar builder, as saying they are creating a gold-plated supercar for Donald Trump, based on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.

The car is bulletproof, boasts 1,500 horsepower, and even features electric shock devices in the door handles. However, many believe this is just the car Dartz Motorz ​​specially made for Mr. Trump. The car that will accompany him to his White House inauguration will be a completely different vehicle.

To date, the 2017 Cadillac specifically designed for the 45th President of the United States has not been publicly revealed. However, the vehicle is believed to have been secretly produced two years prior and is ready to appear with Donald Trump at his presidential inauguration.

Over the past 50 years, each generation of presidential limousines has had its own unique characteristics and significant meaning. Each version serving the head of the White House has a different style (or brand). Even the interior of the vehicle has been redesigned after each president.

The transition from a limousine developed on the CadillacFleetwood sedan platform during President Bill Clinton's administration to one built on the GMT800 during President George W. Bush's administration was a significant step. However, the limousine that appeared when President Barack Obama took office in 2009, developed on the new Kodiak platform, was considered a major change, involving significant changes in both design and technology and equipment.

Information published in numerous international news outlets also indicates that the 2017 version doesn't actually differ much from its predecessor in terms of both design and interior layout. But what can President-elect Trump expect from the 2017 Cadillac limousine, the vehicle that will accompany him on his travels?

A prototype of the 2017 Cadillac was reportedly spotted during GM's road tests, and many believe it bears a striking resemblance to Obama's "The Beast." This suggests the new vehicle will also utilize the heavy-duty Kodiak platform and will still be developed from the original "Cadillac Escalade sedan" design, from the grille and headlights to the front end details.

Furthermore, many reports suggest that the vehicle intended for Mr. Trump will not differ significantly in interior layout from Mr. Obama's "Beast." It's a 7-seater designed in a 2+3+2 configuration. The passenger compartment has 5 seats in a conference-room style, while the President's seat remains completely separate.

The biggest changes will be upgrades to the in-car communication equipment, and the chassis may be raised by a few centimeters. The vehicle's length will be between 5.4 and 5.7 meters, and the new model may be equipped with a diesel engine to ensure sufficient power.
