Mercedes reveals new generation bulletproof S-Guard
A Mercedes-Guard is an awesome limousine either you live in Mexico and use it in your everyday life - or if you are living in the Principality of Monaco and are planning a shopping trip for the day to Milano with your bodyguard....
And why? Simply because there are few places better to be when guns are blazing than in the Guard’s massaging, ventilated back seat. The latest in an 80-year line of armored Mercedes vehicles, the new model is based on the current W222 S-Class and offers full body protection against continuous automatic-weapons fire such as you might receive from M60 machine guns, which use 7.62 x 51 mm rounds.
This is the most advanced version of the armoured Mercedes S-Class and it is able to withstand attack from bullets, grenades and gas. Mercedes has added the latest S-Class limousine to its range of ‘GUARD’ armoured vehicles. Slotting in above the ML-based M-Guard and G-Class G-Guard, the new S-Class S-Guard is the toughest Mercedes yet.
Based on the 523bhp twin-turbo V12-powered S600, the S-Class S-Guard transforms into bulletproof presidential transport at a dedicated factory in Sindelfingen, Germany. The cars are hand-built to ensure maximum strength and attention to detail, with even the bare bodyshells getting reinforced. Welds and seams are double-plated, and seals are compressed to seal the S-Guard’s interior from the hostile outside world. Armour-plating is cut to fit on-site, and bolted into the car to give true bulletproof ability. In the scale of vehicle toughness, the new S-Guard is one of the world’s only ‘VR9’ rated cars. It’s able to withstand hits from grenades, mines, and stop projectiles travelling twice the speed of a regular handgun bullet. Unique to a civilian vehicle, armour almost entirely covers the underbody area for the first time. The fuel tank is also replaced in favour of a self-sealing fuel cell that can absorb shockwaves from explosions and heal itself to prevent fuel leaks if ruptured.
It’s not just the S-Guard’s body panels which stop attackers in their tracks, though. The S600 Guard isn’t simply an S-class wearing a bunch of armor. The windows, several times thicker than the stock double-pane glass, are so heavy that each needs its own hydraulic lift to open and close. The car’s windscreen is replaced by a 10mm-thick sheet of reinforced glass, which weighs 135kg. The treatment is also used for the side and rear windows, while the floor is said to be strengthened with carbonfibre. The full suite of modifications is calculated to double the S600’s 2,165kg kerbweight. Despite this, Mercedes claims the exterior is almost identical to the regular S-Class, allowing passengers to travel under the radar as far as possible. Available in five and four seat guises, it comes with almost all the same standard kit, including the Driver Assistance package PLUS, 360 degree cameras, and AIR-BALANCE filtration tech. Alongside the improved structural security, the S-Guard also boasts run-flat tyres with a special pressure monitoring system good for 19 miles of travel when damaged, plus optional extras like:
* Opaque roller blinds
* Emergency fresh air system
* Fire extinguisher system with automatic activation
* Panic alarm
* Fender flag mounts
* Night View Assist Plus
* LED Intelligent Light System
And Hidden blue flashing lights - a must for brushing aside French Riviera traffic - and are also available.
On top of the eye-watering cost of a normal S600, upgrading the car to VR9 S-Guard specification is estimated to cost in the region of €200,000. Despite the prodigious price, the S-Guard is likely to become a common sight at global political summits and royal events, given the current model has seen service ferrying dignitaries and wealthy (if paranoid) buyers from ninety different nations. The Guard lineup also includes the previous-generation S600 Pullman limo, plus E-, G-, and M-class versions mentioned above.

The "recreation" of James Bond - GoldenEye car chase
Who: Featuring "The bodyguard" and Monaco based - celebrity photographer Kevin "Kyter" Stec.
Where: La Turbie, in the hills above Monaco.
Why: We were trying to "recreate" the car chase featured in the 1995 James Bond movie, GoldenEye. In the original movie James Bond drove a silver Aston Martin DB5, while the Xenia Zaragevna Onatopp drove a red Ferrari F355 GTS. In our photoshoot we did a small twist and also used two modern cars....
What: The Bentley Supersports 700 at FULL throttle... Later pics of both the cars from the photoshoot.
