Land Rover has unveiled an armoured 4x4 that can take on all
terrains - as well as TNTs and grenades
Powerful people with enemies can rest easy after Land Rover unveiled
its first luxury armoured vehicle - capable of withstanding grenades and
gunfire.
The $551,000 Range Rover Sentinel
is being billed as a "mobile fortress" which still delivers the
comfort and capability of the standard 4x4.
This Range Rover is built to take serious damage, according
to Land Rover
Engineers at the firm's Special Vehicle Operations
department developed a six-piece armoured cell, made of super-high-strength
steel to protect passengers.
The standard glass has been replaced with multi-laminated
bulletproof windows.
It has been designed to withstand penetration by 7.62mm high
velocity, armour piercing incendiary bullets, 15kg TNT blasts and DM51 grenade
explosions from both beneath the floor and above the roof.
And even if the wheels are shot at, the Sentinel can be
driven with deflated tyres.
The jaw-dropping off-roader, based on the Autobiography-spec
Range Rover, is the most expensive model ever made by Land Rover.
