U.S. President Barack Obama's limo is known as "The Beast," but his new bus is even more of a monster, the Daily Telegraph reports.

As 2012 draws near, Obama swept onto the campaign trail Monday with a sleek and even sinister looking set of wheels worth US$1.1 million.

奧巴馬開啟巴士之旅

?????? 據英國《每日電訊報》報道，美國總統奧巴馬的豪華座駕被稱為“野獸”，而他的新巴士更具魔鬼風范。

?????? 2012年大選將近，奧巴馬周一便乘著價值110萬美元、時髦又略顯陰森的巴士開始了競選之旅。

?????? 他將在三天內走訪明尼蘇達、艾奧瓦和伊利諾伊州，而這輛周身閃亮的黑色巴士也是首次亮相。據悉，該巴士的車窗上有暗色貼膜，里面全副武裝，遍布著隱秘的通訊技術，且前后都有紅藍警燈閃耀。
