它被稱為凱迪拉克一號和“野獸”,如今成為特朗普乘用的豪華轎車。
These pictures show the brand new incarnation of the President's official vehicle undergoing final testing before it is delivered to the White House.
從這些照片可以看出,特朗普這輛嶄新的官方座駕在被偽裝起來后接受最終檢測,之后將被交付給白宮使用。
The sedan is longer than two large SUVs and, for the moment, remains in white and black camouflage designed to make it more difficult to identify new features aboard the vehicle.
這輛座駕比旁邊的兩輛大型SUV還要長很多,為了讓人們更難看出車輛的新特征,現(xiàn)在還使用黑白色偽裝起來。

一旦最終獲得認可,“野獸”的終極版本將像目前的總統(tǒng)座駕一樣涂上黑色和銀色。
General Motors, which reportedly made the vehicle, had hoped for it to be ready for Mr Trump's inauguration in January but it will now be deployed later this month.

“野獸”造價120萬英鎊,據(jù)稱是全球最安全的車輛,專為美國總統(tǒng)打造。美國總統(tǒng)車隊共有12輛車,總價值約為1500萬英鎊。

The front windscreen can withstand armour piercing bullets or a .44 magnum and the bodywork is military grade and five inches thick.
“野獸”的前擋風玻璃可以防御穿甲彈,或者.44 magnum獵槍,有5英寸厚,達到軍用等級。
The reinforced undercarriage with withstand going over a roadside bomb and the fuel tank is explosive resistant.

Among the other features are shotguns on board in case an attack breaks out, Kevlar tyres that run even if they are flat and an oxygen system in the trunk in case of a chemical attack.
車上配有散彈槍,以防突然而來的襲擊。即使車輛爆胎,凱夫拉輪胎也可以讓車輛繼續(xù)行駛。后備箱還有供氧系統(tǒng),以防遭遇化學襲擊。
A number of guns are hidden in the front grille of the vehicle which can be used to fire on an attacker.
