The carmaker had showcased a version of the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard certified with VR9 level ballistic protection, at the recently concluded 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi. Additionally, the vehicle also has an ERV (Explosive Resistant Vehicles) 2010 rating.
The requirements for the protection against side blasts are greater than before with the new ERV 2010 standard. Earlier, the requirement was to sustain a blast of 15 kg TNT from a distance of four meters but the new requirement stipulates the detonation of the same quantity of explosive from a distance of two meters.
Additional features over the regular car include repositioned rear seats which enables passengers to sit further back in the vehicle. Moreover, the area between the car’s structure and the outer skin is made up of special integrated steel for enhanced protection. The windows get a polycarbonate coating on the inside and there is also under body armouring that protects against explosive devices set beneath the car.
