In this rarefied world of armoured luxury cars, there is a surprising amount of choice, actually. BMW and Audi do offer armoured versions of their 7-series and A8, and Mercedes itself offers the M-Guard and E-Guard, which offer slightly less armour at a lower price. The S-Guard sits at the top with its VR9 protection level and a ludicrously expensive price tag of Rs 8.9 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi). The car takes about three to four months to be custom built, but should someone suddenly put a ‘supari’ on you, Mercedes can get you a car faster. For some, no price is too high for their own protection, and when the safest vehicle short of a battle tank also happens to be one of the best luxury cars on the planet, the outlay will certainly be worth it.
