Aside from the fact that the engineers behind this limo hadn't thought of hydraulic lifts, anyone else paid attention to the sound of steel when the bottom of the car hit the bump? Sounded like a thousand tonnes of steel. Now that's a really armored car!
Wow, thats kinda funny but also a serious security issue. They should raise the vehicle. I assume its built on a hummer or some sort of truck frame anyways to manage the enormous weight. Some custom 31 inch wheels and the issue goes bye-bye. Another option as ghetto as it sounds is to incorporate a modified hydrolic liftkit like the old lowriders. Regardless, that car is off the chain.
I love the effect of the metallic sound! Look at the three men on the right, who are there to protect the officials! They move away, as if the car is going to explode! :D And the crowd makes "Yeeeaa… Awww?" Very funny video, thanks for posting!
that car is heavy... cuz of all the safety features... I'd be freaked if I was secret service, because of it was right when they were leaving and slightly vulnerable. (or maybe cuz I just watched Olympus has fallen)
@Beniamin102xSilkroad Don't know if you've notice but this is in Ireland NOT England. The embassy is a joint architectural venture between Ireland and the States.
Once Osama's I mean Obama's car gets stuck, the front suspension is squeezed and the rear is extended. I personally would like to see the suspension adjusted like this on all state visits, along with a jet engine in the vast space in the rear......
Dont you just love it at 0:10 seconds when the security here a bang that instead of running at the car they all shit themselves and walk away. Great security I think not.

Can you name the car with 4 wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats 35 canyanaro! Woah canyanaro!
@ecotrophees2010 You're wrong my friend, but that's O.K, you can blame your ignorance for that. Everybody knows that American industry, manufacture, and technology are the best in the world. God bless America
@ianfella07 really? watch from 0:05 if you can't see what im seeing then you are blind. Or else its just a series of events that looks and sounds like its touching.
ok so who did that? who is the terrorest now? i think that they will look for the nearest muslim guy to the car and he will be the terrorest at this time.
@SlyFly101 i dont care waht ind of car it is, as long as mine works, its fine, those people who want those nice expensive cars needs to learn that they'll brake easier
how in the hell did the SS guys not see that coming? Any good driver would have seen he wasn't going to make that. How are these clowns running the USA?
@MrSlovianin sam o mnie nic nie wiesz ani o mojej wiedzy o polityce. jesteś pewnie jednym z tych kretyńskich teoretyków konspiracyjnych czy coś. kontynuuj żałosną egzystencję, i nie odpisuj.
@phobal well, he is the president of one of the most aggressive people in the world I would not blame him for that but, compare him to his opponents: Bush, Bush jr., Reagan, Mc. Cain. He wants to do the right things it is just gonna take some time. Did you see his proposition for the middle-east conflict?. Probably you are expecting too much what does not mean he is not an educated, cultured, not religious and a brave man, almost a Prophet compared to his comtemporaries
2.9 million views. And most seen in the US, Ireland, England, France, Australia, India, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Austria, Azerbaijan, Italy, Finland, Norway and I think South Korea. That doesn't make sense? 2.9 million is like half the populating of Ireland!!
I noticed the thick doors as well, they are actually hard NOT to notice. They make the vehicle (NOT CAR, FOR GOD'S SAKE) more striking, therefore more attractive to any kind of attacks. And since it just can't be missile proof, I 'd rather choose a proper car if I were Obama. What's more, this thing is so ugly that I can't call it a car!
موقف طريف جداً لسيارة الرئيس الأمريكي أوباما عندما علقت بعد خروجها من بوابات السفارة الاميركية في دبلن عاصمة إيرلندا: تُعرف هذه السيارة بالمناسبة باسم “الوحش” لأنها مزودة بتقنيات متطورة جداً ومضادة للرصاص ومضادة للهجمات الصاروخية، لكن يبدو أنها ليست مُضادة للمطبات!!
@MikeDeelah Nope. Cadillac still da best!!! If that bmw in front was as long as the limo, the exact same thing would have happened to the bimmer. Your comment lacks evidence, and therefore just states an opinion and nothing more. A 5 year old could have made a better comment. :D
@SomeOneFromOFS: That's absolutely correct, thanks! In all TV shows over here they say, that some iron rail made the car stuck. It pisses me off so much, when TV people don't watch carefully and spread such bullshit... There was definitely something wrong with the car's front axle.
Notice the guys to the right (0:12) how they backed off thinking it was going to blow. If all it takes is a piece of metal from the exit of the gate to stop 'The Beast' then Obama better not go anyway near Pakistan with that ride! So much for the world's toughest vehicle!
@147jedi - You know what? I don't care much for your "classing" of people. It really doesn't do anyone any good. His dad was black, his mom was white. Let's just not bother calling him "black" or "African American", mkay? Why is colour so important to you?
this has nothing to do with the ramp, driveway, road surface, what ever you want to call it. this is a vehicle malfunction, plain and simple. at 45 seconds you see the front suspension collaspe. very funny all the same! love the sound..
Obvious mechanical failure of some sort. You can see and hear it happening first, then the car comes to rest on the curb. Not the other way around. Armored vehicles are very heavy. Likely a broken spring or perhaps a cracked frame rail.
@bykovl904 Oh please, if the BMW had been a stretched limo it would have had the same issue. But it wasn't it had a short wheelbase and therefor can clear ramps like this better. A stock Caddy would have cleared it too.
They spent probably spend millions and months planning this and your telling me no one bothered to make sure that that limo was going to make it over that hill. And people wonder why foreigners think we're retarded
Somehow I doubt with all that security, he was actually in the car with flags on it. They probably had him in another one of the normal black cars so he wouldn't be targeted. But that's just my guess. BHO sucks.
Hey! What do you expect. It is built on a GM product. Not saying GM stuff isn't well made, just not as good as some others. A Chrysler would have broken a drive shaft getting up the incline. Let's give Lincoln a try at a limo.
@89fernandito94 no, it was the Irish flag, this happened during Obama's visit to Ireland. On state visits he always has the flag of the country he's visiting on his car alongside the American flag
@JUSTACHIPN Yeah because Nixon wasn't messed up in the head. And Bush didn't start a war for money/oil... If I knew more... I'd go on, but I'm not American, nor do I learn American History...
silly american car suspension.... should've driven the rolls royce phantom extended wheelbase for that one car is a slap to cadillac, chrysler, and lincoln.-- said by an American
LOL.. I can't believe the secret service didn't see that coming. The BMW dragged it's underside and they should have seen that long wheelbase monster wouldn't make it.. Poor planning..
I bet Obama was driving,,he downed a few Pints at the PUB and was like "Yo Secret Service gimme da Keys" BUMP Ooops I think I ran over a Leprechaun"..Michelle eyes rolling..." Obama 2012!"
All you people doing the "BMW vs American" thing ... it has nothing to do with the brand of car but the LENGTH. The Limo actually as more undercarriage clearance than the BMW.
@MattTheManc1 why on earth would bmw use this as an advert?the first car to come out was a black 5series alright but the two other cars are not,there shitty ass yank mobiles
@Akrombio Its not fake it happened when obama visited ireland i wouuld no im irish and i was watching on the news. The news rarely lies so grow a pair and stop trolling!
Ssoo let me get this straight we can build a pris with anti tank armo but we can put 4 wheel drive on the presidents car ( this is y the amarican stero type lives on)
They should fit a hydraulic suspension to it, so that it can bounce over the kerbs in future. Good for Obama and Michelle, when they're listening to West Coast rap.
@Laudan08 WELL MAYBE U SHALL GO VIST HIM AND STAY THERE FOREVER. EVERYONE IS HAPPY THAT HIS DEAD AND I CHUCKED A PARTY IN MY HEAD WHEN I HEARD OF SUCH GREATFUL NEWS!!!!!!!!!
