The Complete History of the Presidential State Car

An Abundance of Kevlar

Kevlar is known for its ability to resist projectiles, so there is no surprise that it is used in ample quantities in the state car. You may not realize, however, just how much Kevlar can be included in a vehicle. On the underbelly of the vehicle, there is a Kevlar mat to prevent damage from objects on the road or tossed under the auto. The tires also feature Kevlar, a move which helps with accidental and purposeful punctures, by limiting the possibility of a puncture. If a puncture does occur, it reduces the risk of the tires going flat.
