BMW Security Vehicles

Designed to withstand a range of three risk situations –

  1. street crime (attacks with blunt objects and handguns up to a calibre of .44 Magnum), 
  2. organised crime (attacks with the most commonly used automatic weapon in the world, the AK-47) and 
  3. attacks with explosive devices and armour-piercing weapons. 

Also among the safety features are run-flat tyres, a self-sealing fuel tank, an attack alarm and an intercom system, which enables the occupants to communicate with the outside world without leaving the vehicle or opening the doors or windows. Powered by a V12 engine, the car does 0-100kmph in 6.2 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 210 kmph.
