Aurus Senate vs The Beast: Which is the real super secure car?
| Aspect/Feature | Aurus Senat (Russia) | The Beast (USA) |
| Basic purpose (Design philosophy) | Luxury + Comfort + Performance + Safety – A Balanced Protection Limo | “Maximum Security” For safety, less priority than performance/speed or luxury. |
| Construction and Platform | By Russian company (Aurus Motors / NAMI) — 4-door sedan / armored limo. | American company (General Motors) — a custom-built Cadillac, on a heavy-duty truck-chassis. |
| Engine/Performance | 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 + hybrid, ~598 hp. 0–100 km/h ~6 sec in most reports. | Slow speed due to motor weight and safety — estimated top speed 96–112 km/h. |
| Protection / Armoring Level | Bulletproof + bomb-proof body; VR-standard security; Steel/Armored Glass; run-flat tires; Ability to withstand chemical/grenade attack; Command/Communication System. | “Rolling bunker” — thick armour, multi-layer bulletproof glass, night-vision, tear-gas / smoke-screen / defensive systems, electric shock doors, emergency blood supply, fully sealed cabin, run-flat tyres, etc. |
| Limousine versus tank-like thickness | Luxury limousine design — looking regal, but powerful. | Heavy-duty truck base + tank-like protection — less about speed or looks, more about survival. |
| use /deployment | Most state, domestic or diplomatic work; Limited (about 120 units/year) civilian version also available. | For the President only—no civilian version; On foreign trips, it is transported by military aircraft. |
| Comfort/Luxury | Comfortable, luxurious front + rear seats; Wood and leather finish; Premium Interior + Royal Look. | Safety a priority – less luxury, tougher armour, less visibility, less classic luxury on the inside due to safety equipment. |
Putin’s Aurus Senat provides a balance of luxury, speed and security, hence it looks more royal and faster in running. At the same time, the only job of The Beast of the American President is to save the life of the President under any circumstances, hence it is a very heavy, low speed but absolutely tank-like safety car. Therefore, it can be said that The Beast is ahead in terms of safety, whereas Aurus Senat is considered better in terms of luxury and performance.
