I don’t know but I watched a video of the testing it goes through and for something that big and that heavy it was incredibly fast and agile
“Wondering what The Beast has under its hood? Gas or diesel?”
With 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) of armor, “a bubble top thicker than the protective cockpit of an F-16 fighter”, and a 340-horsepower (250 kW) V8 unleaded gasoline engine, the 11,000-pound (5,000 kg) car could still reach speeds of 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) — or 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) with four flat tires.
As the pit and pace car speeds are regulated at each track, and driving that metal monster trying to maintain the speed would be difficult as it was not designed to run fast, just take a hit.
But the Pace speed at Daytona is 70 MPH and is one of 3 in NASCAR that runs that fast. Indianapolis is also 70 at the Indy Car level. These are the fastest of the pace needs for motor racing in the major speedways in the US. Everyone else is slower.

“ Wondering what The Beast has under its hood? Gas or diesel? ”
My guess is all three, gas, diesel, and electric.
The Beast uses a Kodiak frame and engine. Diesel Duramax.
Correction to post #81.
Posted that the Beast is derived from Chevrolet’s Kodiak model when it’s the GMC TopKicks platform.
Since 2009, the United States Presidential State Car has become labeled “Cadillac One”[13]; as a result of its massive size, it is also nicknamed “The Beast”.[14] Corresponding to its use by the Secret Service, many details about the vehicle remain classified. While its chassis specifications were never revealed by Cadillac or the Secret Service[13], the vehicle was developed alongside GMC TopKicks on the GMC560 platform.[15] In place of previous limousines, the highly-armored vehicle is not based upon a production Cadillac model line, instead wearing a one-of-a-kind body (borrowing components from Cadillac vehicles).[13]
Entering service in 2018, a second generation of “Cadillac One” limousines entered service. Wearing an updated version of Cadillac bodywork (though again not derived from a specific model line)[16], the vehicle is again derived from a medium-duty GMT560 diesel truck chassis.[14] While nearly all vehicle specifications remain secret, its weight is estimated to be 15,000–20,000 pounds.[16]
