There are some people who require both security and style; the latest Mercedes-Benz is a bulletproof luxury car that delivers such criteria. Fit for the Beyonces and Jay-Zs of the world, it is an elegant ride that can withstand a bomb. Perhaps Tony Stark (also known as Iron Man) could have used a vehicle like this to avoid the shrapnel that lodge itself dangerously in his chest.
That said, this bulletproof luxury car is part of the brand's S-Class line. Dubbed the Guard, the armored automobile is hand-built in the Sindelfingen plant. Boasting VR6/VR7 protection level armor, the bulletproof luxury car is outfitted with a 10 centimeter thick windshield that weighs about 298 pounds and five centimeter thick steel plates around the cabin to protect the passengers.
