BMW X5 Security Plus - Bulletproof Vehicle
Following the steps of the BMW X5 Security vehicle released by BMW last year, the latest generation security vehicle brings new things to the table. Dubbed X5 Security Plus, the vehicle now complies with the requirements of bullet resistance class 6.
For those of you not familiar with these standards, let me put it in easier words: the BMW X5 Security Plus “doesn’t fear” an AK-47.
Same as the previous model, the windows are upgraded to laminated 22-mm thick security glass and the car makes use of high-performance steel molded components and panels. The body features sealed joints providing support between doors and frames as well as between side panels and pillars.
An intercom system and around the car camera system can assist the passengers in extreme cases when stranded inside the car.
BMW X5 Security Plus is powered by the 4.8-litre V8 engine delivering 355 horsepower and peak torque of 350lb-ft (475Nm) at just 3,400rpm. The BMW X5 Security Plus accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 112mph (180 km/h).
What makes this vehicle even more interesting is the fact that even to the most observant person, the X5 Security Plus can pass on as a regular production model, providing discretion and a higher level of security.
