奔驰-迈巴赫近日发布了S600 Guard防弹车，这也是世界上首款防弹级别达到VR10的乘用车。作为目前世界上最安全的乘用车，它的车身和车窗可以抵御突击步枪发射的最硬的钢芯弹的攻击。为了达到VR10防弹级别，S600 Guard配备了芳纶和聚乙烯部件。车窗采用聚碳酸酯涂层以抵御碎片的冲击。虽然车窗采用层压玻璃，但透明度并未受到影响，同样可以抵御爆炸装置袭击。无论是车身侧面还是底部发生爆炸，车身的装甲都可以有效保护车内乘客的安全，这主要是由于新开发的车底装甲覆盖了整个车身底部。为了进一步提升防护性，在某些关键部位，诸如过渡材料和缝隙处采用智能叠压结构。该车目前已经开始销售，在德国起价（含增值税）47万欧元（约合人民币340万元）。

 

Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard revealed with VR10 protection

Mercedes-Maybach is introducing the S600 Guard which is the first passenger car to offer a VR10 ballistic protection level.

 

It may look like a regular S600 in Maybach guise, but hiding underneath the familiar skin is a significantly modified car as the stretched fullsize sedan is actually world’s first VR10-certified car. This makes it the safest passenger car in the world and its body and windows can withstand hardened steel core bullets coming from an assault rifle.

 

To achieve such a high level of protection, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard features special aramid and PE components along with polycarbonate coating for the windows to provide splinter protection. Despite being laminated, the windows continue to provide great visual characteristics and also offer protection against explosive devices.

 

If an explosion occurs at the side of the car, Mercedes mentions the armoring protects the people inside the cabin as effectively as it does in an assault with explosives beneath the car. It’s possible thanks to a newly developed underbody armoring which covers the entire surface underneath the occupant compartment. To further boost protection, the vehicle’s construction benefits from intelligent overlapping systems at certain critical points, like the material transitions and interstices.

 

Already available on sale, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard carries a starting price of €470,000 (plus VAT) in Germany.
