G20 Summit 2023: Know all about 'world's safest car', US President Joe Biden will use in Delhi

United States President Joe Biden is expected to arrive around 7 pm on Friday, September 8, in Delhi to participate in the G20 summit this weekend. World leaders from 19 countries and foreign delegates are scheduled to arrive in Delhi for the G20 summit. The global meeting of G20 member nations will be held at Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre on September 9 and 10.

President Biden is scheduled to have a one-to-one meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit.

The US President will have his own security arrangements in place during his stay in Delhi. The security arrangements for President Biden include world’s safest car ‘The Beast’, which will be used for his movement from hotel to the G20 summit venue in Delhi.

The official state car of the US President, known as ‘The Beast’, is regarded as the world's safest car and is being flown to India from the US to ensure the President's ground movements.

President Biden will be accompanied by an elite 3-layer security during his movements in Delhi. The US President’s security mechanism also incorporates bomb detectors, advanced weapons, a control room along with a parallel communication network.

What are the features of The Beast?

The safest car in the world is accompanied by a military-grade armour and a tear-gas dispenser. In addition, it has bullet-proof windows that provide utmost security to the passengers in case of external attacks. The armour featured in the world's safest car is made up of aluminium, steel, and ceramic and is capable of ensuring passengers' safety even in the event of chemical warfare.

Furthermore, the US President's car has its own supply of oxygen in case there's any chemical or biological attack inflicted on Biden during travel. The Beast's model features special doors that are 5-inch thick in the front and 8-inch thick at the back. Also, the car is capable of surviving a bomb blast due to the five layers of polycarbonate and glass. Additionally, The Beast is equipped with a shotgun and smoke screen. Further, two bags of blood compatible with the President's blood type are available in the car.

The other features of the world's safest car include a GPS device, a communication device, and night vision. The car can accommodate seven people.  Despite having the most top-rated features, The Beast is cheaper than the most expensive cars in the world and its latest model developed by General Motors (GM) in 2018 costs approximately $1.5 million.
