The US President's official specially-designed car is also known as 'The Beast'. US President Donald Trump, who will land in Gujarat on February 24, will head directly towards the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, in 'The Beast'. Here is all you need to know about the current model of the limousine:
United States presidents embraced automotive technology in the early 20th-century with President William Howard Taft's purchase of four cars and the conversion of the White House stables into a garage. Presidents rode in stock, unmodified cars until President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration bought the Sunshine Special, the first presidential state car to be built to United States standards. Until Kennedy, presidential state cars frequently allowed the president to ride uncovered and exposed to the public.
In 2014, General Motors (GM) was awarded three contracts for the new limousine. Each state car was expected to cost US$1-1.5 million, and by January 2016, GM had been paid $15,800,765 (equivalent to $16,832,679 in 2019) for its work on the new model.
Donald Trump loves spectacles and is known to be a bit of a showman himself. The grand welcome that Gujarat has in store for him on February 24 will be unlike one given to any US president in India.
Landing at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Trump will travel down a 22-km spruced up road to the Gujarat Cricket Association's newly constructed Sardar Patel Cricket Stadium at Motera, Ahmedabad, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. About 125,000 people will line up on the way from the airport to Sabarmati Ashram, which the US president is expected to visit.
Trump will inaugurate the cricket stadium, which has a sitting capacity of about 110,000 people. The two leaders will then address a 100,000-strong audience at what is now the world's biggest cricketing venue. Some 18 approach roads to the stadium have been resurfaced, beautified and turned into four-lane stretches at an estimated cost of over Rs 30 crore. Eight parking lots around the stadium will accommodate the 2,500 buses and 5,000 cars expected there.
