Now that we (almost) have a new President, all we need is a new presidential limo. The previous Commander-in-chief-mobile, which wheeled the Bush clan around, will retire along with the outgoing administration. Taking its place will be a brand-new Cadillac stretch, which CNN refers to as "part car, part truck and, from the looks of it, part tank."

As expected, this Caddy is aptly armored, protecting its valued occupant-elect with 8-inch-thick doors and ballistic glass windows. Secret Service agent Joe Funk (whose name is probably not Joe Funk), President Bill Clinton's former driver, says that the incoming President will be totally isolated from the outside world once inside the vehicle.

"At the same time, I think he will be surprised at the communication capabilities, how the phones, the satellites, the Internet -- everything is at his fingertips," Funk said. "So at one end, you are totally removed from society. The other side of the coin is that he can have any communications worldwide at a moment's touch."

But don't expect this behemoth to get good mileage. Though the official specs are most likely classified, this bunker on wheels is expected to weigh more than a full-size SUV. The car is also a Cadillac in name only: According to Funk, the vehicle is totally modified and the only original parts remaining are the hop caps and the Cadillac insignia on the steering wheel. The limo is said to be ready for the Inauguration on January 20. Until then check out the video after the jump for more.
