President Obama's Cadillac and the Irish ramp

These days the President of the United States of America was on a visit to Ireland, but the undisputed star was his car, the well-known Cadillac limousine with extraordinary armour to protect the president from almost any attack, which got stuck on the ramp of the United States Embassy in Dublin.

The video appeared on several national news programmes and is still stirring up a lot of dust online, since one of the safest cars in the world could not get over a steep incline when leaving the embassy. But the curious thing is that, according to another video, it seems the fault lay with the front suspension, which gave way in the process, rather than with the slope at the exit.

Seen up close, you can clearly see how the front suspension appears to break as it passes over that slope. Either way, the image of Obama’s Cadillac stuck on a slope has been the undisputed highlight of the president’s visit to Ireland. It should also be added that, the security guards wasted no time in trying to hide the spectacle by driving their cars across it, and even a minibus in the middle.

We leave you the full video where the BMW 7 Series that comes out first already has problems with its underside, a true prelude to what would happen minutes later with the presidential limousine.
