Reliance Industries Limited’s (RIL) Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani has just got delivery of his brand-new armoured Mercedes-Benz S600.
For the ultimate protection of its occupants, the limo gets a custom body shell that’s reinforced with special high-strength steel which forms a ‘sandwich’ between the car’s outer skin and the main body. The insides of the thick glass gets a coating of polycarbonate and multiple areas of the vehicle get heat-resistant synthetic fibres called Aramide. The underbody of Ambani’s armoured S-Class is protected against explosives such as grenades, improvised explosive devices (IED) and the limo can withstand a direct hit from a high-powered sniper rifle.
The windows can withstand bullets fired from assault rifles such as the AK-47.
The alloy wheels have given way to high-strength steel rims and are now wrapped by run-flat tyres. These wheels are so strong, they can keep rolling for up to 80 km even if the tyres have been blown to bits. The car also gets a panic alarm system, opaque roller blinds, emergency fresh air system from the ingress of smoke or irritant gases, hydraulic side windows, gimbal rear LED reading lamps, special rear cooling compartment and heated windscreen & side windows.
Once those thick doors are shut, there’s little an assailant can do to harm those inside.
Keeping in mind the registration costs of the RTO, it is likely that Mukesh Ambani paid around INR 2 crore to get his armoured Merc registered.
The cabin of the armoured S600 is amongst the finest in the world!
Mukesh Ambani’s armoured Mercedes-Benz S-Class gets a powerful twin-turbo V12, 6.0-litre engine that makes 530 PS of power and 830 Nm of torque. Top speed, thanks to the added weight, is now limited to 210 km/h. Ambani’s armoured S-Class is only the third of its kind in India, the other two (2014 models) belong to Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and the ex-Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. The showroom version of this armoured S-Class – the S-Guard, was recently launched in India and costs INR 8.9 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi)
