The Guardian: Video Of The Mercedes S600 Armored Vehicle In Action

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on October 31st, 2006 At 7:30 AM CST

As you may remember, a little over a week ago Mercedes released  
details of their S600 Guard model, an armored vehicle boasting of a  
B6/B7 protection level and the perfect personal transportation choice  
for those in need of superlative vehicular safety.

While it's true reading about the S600 Guard's extensive list of  
safety features is enjoyable, such as the fact it's capable of  
withstanding up to military-grade small arms projectiles, we all know  
that actually seeing the S600 Guard repelling an explosion is much,  
much more enjoyable.

And that's where this video comes in. Almost like an infomercial for  
S600 Guard, the video depicts the vehicle being put through a battery  
of tests, including gun-fire, explosives and gassing, all of which  
aim to demonstrate exactly how safe you are if indeed you find  
yourself in one of these unsavory predicaments.
