Some high-profile individuals don’t like to get driven in a luxury car if they don’t find enough space to put their feet up or if the cabin is not exactly designed to their needs or decor liking. Others just prefer to ride in limos that can survive bomb blasts and rifle attacks. For all of those who want to own vehicles with both of these features, custom vehicle builders can deliver custom stretched Mercedes limousines with armored protection. These Vehicles will ensure them unequaled safety and protection in Mercedes S- class sedans.

To save diplomats, celebrities, VIPs or dignitaries from possible gun attacks, IED explosives and missile threats, the standard models of Mercedes Limos can be custom converted and armored as well. They will add significant amounts of steel armor plates to the roof, floor, doors, kick panels and side panels to build a highly protective interface within the vehicle body. Use of high-grade stainless steel plates, ballistic glass and blast resistant tires in armored Mercedes Benz limos make them special from a security point of view. They are built with a hefty body and impressive outlook to withstand the severe impact of bullet shots, shells, sharpnels or missiles, giving perfect protection to the dignitaries inside from terrorist’s fire.
