Go to Features, then Exclusive Features....a self-sealing fuel tank among other things! They even have a couple videos of people shooting .44 and .357 Magnums! Imagine what you could do with this car 😀

Is this thing even legal in the US? I've never even heard about it untill I was browsing around the site. And if it were, I'd think it be the car of choice for rappers; east and west coast 😉
 
I wonder how modifiable it is....like pepper-spray that shoots out of the windshield wipers =D
 
I think it was royals royce..but one company boasted a grenade proof car ... im guessing for the pope and world leaders...but that is awsome still!
 
I think ill get one of these, and some cool gadgets, then ill go jack some prototype motherboards from somewhere
LOL, BUSTED!!😀
 
Actually the armored cars sold in US are weak. They have B4 level of protection which stops 44 magnum shots.
In Russia and other more violent countries, they sell B7 level of protection which stops assault rifle fire, hand grenades, and some explosives.
 
I used to work for a Mercedes dealer, we didnt deal with Bullet proof parts too much, we did sell a windshield and backglass once though, $45,000.00 EACH! They were replacement parts because the laminations were separating on the originals.

Then there was the "GelandWagon" or "G Wagon" we had for a couple of days, it was new and being prepped for shipment overseas, it was totally bullet proof, the glass in the doors was fixed in place and was over an inch thick, and there was no way anyone was going to be slamming those doors, they were armored and had to weigh 200 to 300 pounds a piece, the thing even had bullet proof tires, price was around $800,000.00 :Q

Also got to see some Mercedes that werent bullet proof, it was easy to tell, they had bullet holes in 'em 😀
