In the world of high-profile individuals such as world leaders, true tycoons, and influential figures, armored vehicles have become a necessity. These vehicles are typically German-made, high-powered, and often come in the form of sedans or SUVs. With the added weight of metal armor plating, acceleration from 0-100 km/h can take what feels like an eternity.
However, forget everything you thought you knew about armored vehicles because U.S. Armor Group has unveiled the fastest armored vehicle in the world. Built from a Lucid Air Sapphire, this vehicle is an electric vehicle (EV) like no other.
Don’t worry about power because it is equipped with a three-motor all-wheel-drive system that produces a whopping 1,234 horsepower. It can go from 0-100 km/h in just 1.89 seconds and has a top speed of 330 km/h. Worried about how far this EV can go in times of emergency? With a battery range of 687 kilometers, you can easily make it from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu without breaking a sweat.
This vehicle is reinforced with lightweight ballistic windows that can withstand .44 Magnum bullet shots. Combined with composite shield materials that are 10 times stronger than ballistic steel but five times lighter, this vehicle is a force to be reckoned with.
Despite all the added armor, the overall weight increase is only 175 kilograms, equivalent to the weight of two of our cameramen. Even after modifications, this vehicle can still reach speeds of over 322 km/h.
Not only does this vehicle protect against physical attacks, but it also has the capability to fend off digital threats. It is equipped with technology to resist hacking attempts and can detect threats in the surrounding area by gathering intelligence from over a million external sources, including local police and fire departments.
With a price tag double that of the original Air Sapphire, buyers can opt to add additional armor to withstand hand grenade attacks, explosive materials, and high-powered rifle shots.
And if that’s not enough, there are also some James Bond-esque gadgets such as electric shock door handles, black pepper spray dispensers, and firearm compartments.
In conclusion, the U.S. Armor Group’s latest armored vehicle is not only the fastest in the world but also the most technologically advanced and secure. With its combination of speed, power, and protection, it sets a new standard for armored vehicles in the modern age.
