The Mercedes S600 Guard Keeps You Safe and Swag

— August 12, 2014 — Autos
If you're fabulously wealthy and/or famous, there's a good chance you might have made some enemies and haters along the way and there's an even better chance you like to show everyone how swag you are -- if this sounds like you, you might want to consider picking up the new Mercedes S600 Guard. This car is essentially a Mercedes S-Class that packs mad armor, designed to protect occupants against a wide variety of threats.

The Mercedes S600 Guard is equipped with special reinforced steel between the car's structure and bodywork, to provide extra protection against gunfire and rockets. Aramid components provide protection against splinter and shrapnel. The car's thickened laminated glass is coated with polycarbonate to prevent injury from splintering glass.

Armor is important, but it's just as important to let everyone on the road know that you're big fish. For that reason, the S600 Guard is fitted with flags and flashing lights to keep your swag going.
