The full name of this sedan is S680 Guard 4Matic, and Mercedes-Benz has increased the wheelbase to easily obtain VPAM VR10 certification. This certification is the highest level of ballistic protection in a civilian vehicle, which means that the new Mercedes vehicle is able to withstand some shootings and explosions; Thus important personalities such as politicians, heads of state as well as celebrities who seek more protection; They can go for the S680 Guard and enjoy all the luxuries of a three-star.
Instead of merging all the guards with a regular S-Class, the engineers modified the entire body, creating more strength than the previous Guard Series model. The thickness of the windows in this model is 10 cm and the car is driven on Michelin PAX tires. Using PAX tires, you can travel about 30 km after being punctured.
Compared to a standard S-Class, the guard version is equipped with hydraulic windows; This means that the windows will work even after the internal electronic components are attacked and damaged. Mercedes also had to reset the gearbox and steering wheel to accommodate the extra weight of the S680 Guard. According to the mentioned points, the weight of the guard has reached about 4.2 tons.
Interestingly, the new V12 Guard is identical to the Maybach S680; But it provides less torque to the occupants and instead of 900 Nm, 840 Nm of torque should be used. Fortunately, the propulsion power has remained the same and you can still enjoy 604 horsepower. However, due to its heavy weight, the new guard is equipped with an electronic speed limiter and its speed cannot be increased to more than 190 km / h.
The initial price of the S680 Guard is estimated at 547,000 euros ($ 650,000). According to the customer’s order, this car can be equipped with four or five seats and, if necessary, have an oxygen tank installed inside the cabin. The production of this product will take 51 days and according to the German media, the limousine S680 will not have a Pullman version with special specifications; Because the S680 Guard 4Matic will be the only Mercedes-Benz S-Class armored limousine.
