For years, bulletproof cars have only been associated with famous celebrities and public figures, but now, Mercedes is giving everyone the chance to have their very own. The luxury automotive company has just begun producing an all-new bulletproof model known as the 2015 S-Class Guard that features a variety of protective components, crafted to keep you safe from firearms. Built in Mercedes' Sindelfingen facility, it stands as the newest addition to the brand's bulletproof series, sitting alongside the S-Class Pullman, M-Class, E-Class and G-Class models - each offering supreme protection.
Now, if you're one of those people who is skeptic about Mercedes' bulletproof cars, you should know that the company's latest 2015 S-Class Guard in Springfield model features a VR6/VR7 protection level, which means it can protect occupants from projectiles launched from military weapons. This includes objects that travel twice as fast as bullets, as well as hand grenades and shrapnel. With a 298-pound windshield that is 10 cm thick and 5 cm steel plates surrounding the cabin, it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to penetrate the car with firearms. A variant of the regular S-Class, it's ideal for those who are in search of added protection and maintains Mercedes' luxury standards - a plus for buyers.
