Here is President Obama’s limousine. Apparently there were a number of these built at $1.5 million a copy. Luxury Diecast did this one in 1:43.
This is President Biden’s replacement. Different grille and body.
No 1:43 replica available

Greenlight produced a fairly decent true-scale 1/43 version (...which I've never opened ) with the correct-blue interior. The only "updated Beast" I'm aware of is a sealed 1/18 resin. As always, nice comparative pics Dave.

That is a great-looking and very impressive Presidential limo ! Yat Ming also did a fine series in 1/24, too, and I happily have the 1950 Lincoln.

A 1:43 model will be available within 60 days, according to the seller....
This was modeled after its look at a Summit in Japan, so a few details will need to be changed to make it look correct for US streets.

That’s great. I will be on the lookout for its availability.

I've seen the 1:1 in D.C. twice. It is a force of nature!

Yes, it's really not a "car." It's a "mash up" (hardly, but you what I mean 🙂) of existing extreme-use truck parts, one-off over-sized car-like parts, and top-secret machining & tooling. It's more like a small bus that looks like a car.
