Announced by the brand to be the world's fastest [armored vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani-tank), the car has been [custom modified](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle) by the company with a series of in-house-crafted armor panels and ballistic glass. The body panels are crafted from polycarbonate over traditional steel which helps it to maintain a more lightweight profile on the road, while the ballistic glass is reported to be 10-times stronger than ballistic steel. The AddArmor Audi RS7 is only reported to be about 200 pounds heavier than the base vehicle, which enables it to reach a speed of 60mph in just 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 202mph. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Lightweight Armored Vehicles:** New materials and technologies are creating opportunities for companies to create armored vehicles with a more lightweight profile. - **Fast Armored Vehicles:** The demand for faster armored vehicles is driving innovation in the industry to create vehicles that are both speedy and secure. - **Custom Armored Vehicles:** Companies are offering custom modifications to create unique and personalized armored vehicles for clients with specific needs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** The demand for armored vehicles is driving innovation in the automotive industry to create vehicles that offer both security and speed. - **Military Industry:** Innovations in lightweight and fast armored vehicles are creating opportunities for the military industry to develop and deploy more effective combat vehicles. - **Security Industry:** Advancements in armored vehicles are creating opportunities for the security industry to provide better protection for high-profile individuals, organizations, and events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upgraded Armored Defender Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octa-edition-one.md) - [Sleekly-Designed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-rs-etron-gt.md) - [Fortified Electric SUV Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lac-hong-900-lx.md) - [Aggressive Safety-Focused SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezvani-vengeance.md) - [Ultra-Powerful Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dbx707.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Luxurious Reimagined Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armored-cadillac-escalade-chairman.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md)
