The world is witnessing the advent of luxury armored automobiles with ballistic proof vehicle protection
that keeps the people inside safe from guns and bombs. Now this scale
of foolproof protection does not have to slow down the luxurious ride
either.
Indeed,
International Armoring Corporation (IAC) - one of the top armored
vehicle providers in the world – has made it possible for bulletproof
vehicles to continue to be quick and smooth just like the originals. In
fact, they have recently armored a 2018 Tesla Model S P100D and this has
emerged as the fastest bulletproof car in the world!
This
means that the vehicle not only provides a lavish ride but is also
perfectly capable of a quick getaway at the first sign of trouble.
Meanwhile the high-tech upgrades protect the occupants from handgun
fire, high-powered rifle attacks and even bomb blasts. It features a
novel ‘Bio-Weapon Defense Mode’ to filter the air coming into the car of
any dangerous substances. There is the option of further safety
gadgets as add-ons if needed.
People
may wonder how the speed is possible when the car is weighed down by
tons of ballistic material plating all over. Well, IAC uses the
revolutionary Armormax synthetic composite laminate armor that is the
strongest and lightest in the world. This adds only about 550 pounds to
the vehicle which is a whopping 80% lesser than the weight of
traditional steel armor. This is akin to having 3 extra people riding in
the fully-electric Tesla P100D!
This
minimal increase in weight has a negligible effect on the performance
and keeps the speed mostly intact. International Armoring Corporation
hits the nail on the head with, “While this Armormax Tesla may be
‘faster than a speeding bullet,’ it doesn’t need to be!”
What’s more, the ballistic vehicle protection does not alter the appearance, and it continues to look like a regular Tesla Model S.
