The 46th US President, Joe Biden, has announced that universal electrification is a priority in the automobile sector, so the famous presidential limousine, the Beast, may one day become electric, writes Motor.
Since 1993, the presidential state car has been a General Motors-produced limo with a face of a Cadillac. The latest version was preceding US President Donald Trump's Cadillac One, which was a stretch limousine introduced in 2018. Despite its Caddy styling, it was built on a heavy-duty GMC TopKick truck platform, heavily-armored, and weighing over 6,800 kilograms.
President Biden may use Trump's redesigned Beast for his term, or he may also opt for a new one. If he decides to go for the latter, what would it look like?
GM Authority has made a rendering of the Beast but with a new face. The Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover, which was revealed in August 2020. The rendering shows the post-op design.
Having a Lyriq face for a new Beast isn't actually a long shot. Given that President Biden wants a new fleet of electric government cars, going for Cadillac's electric portfolio would be the right thing to do.
