Bulletproof Luxury SUVs

The New Bentley Bentayga Can Now Stop a Round from an AK47

— September 3, 2019 — Autos
For consumers who want to feel extra secure and protected, the Bentley Bentayga 2020 can now stop bullets from an AK47. The luxurious vehicle boasts the same high-end features as the previous model in addition to armor protection technology that's inconspicuous from the outside.

The Bentley Bentayga also offers users additional protection including emergency lights, heavy-duty off-terrain wheels, a smoke screen system, electric door handles, engine bay fire suppression, and tailpipe protection. This ultra-safe vehicle meets the CEN 1063 BR6 standard protection, ensuring it can withstand an array of bullets from a 7.62-millimeter assault rifle being shot through a high-powered gun, such as the AK47.

While this model of the Bentley Bentayga offers secure protection, it doesn't meet the standard specifications of a 0-60mph sprint in four seconds. The luxury armored SUV is currently priced at $500,000 USD.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Armored Vehicles - The rise of luxury vehicles equipped with armor protection technology presents an opportunity for luxury car manufacturers to cater to security-conscious consumers.
2. Inconspicuous Armor Technology - The development of armor technology that blends seamlessly with the external features of a vehicle creates opportunities for stealthy protective systems in a variety of industries, such as hospitality or law enforcement.
3. Expanded Safety Features - The integration of additional safety features, such as smoke screens and engine suppression systems, into luxury vehicles presents opportunities for innovation and expansion in the automotive industry and beyond.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Car Manufacturing - The luxury car manufacturing industry has an opportunity to expand its offerings by catering to security-conscious consumers who are willing to pay a premium for added safety features and armor technology in their vehicles.
2. Hospitality Industry - The hospitality industry can benefit from the use of inconspicuous armor technology to enhance the safety and security measures of their establishments, particularly in regions where security threats are more prevalent.
3. Law Enforcement - Law enforcement agencies can benefit from the use of luxury armored vehicles with expanded safety features, allowing them to operate more effectively and safely in high-risk situations.
