Blast-proof BMW 7 Series Protection Lands In India

The BMW sedan can withstand bullets and explosives and comes with the highest protection level

The BMW 7 Series Protection, a luxury sedan that comes with the highest level of protection, has been launched in India. This armoured sedan is for high ranking officials, VIPs, CEOs, and royals who need protection against any form of attack, and can protect them from bullets, blasts and even ballistic missiles. Check out everything that this sedan has to offer.

Max Protection

This version of the 7 Series, called the 760i Protection xDrive VR9, looks exactly like the regular 7 Series, but changes have been made underneath to make it blast-proof. The chassis of this version is made of 10 mm thick steel, which allows it to withstand explosions. Furthermore, it comes with  thick multilayer bullet resistant glass all around, and it features underbody protection to protect against explosives (2 hand grenades).

Additionally, it comes with a self-sealing fuel tank, run-flat tyres which can drive for approximately 30 km at 80 kmph after completely running out of pressure, and a switchless protection UI in the infotainment called the ALEA. It also offers a privacy lounge for the rear passengers and emergency exit via all four doors.

A V8 Powertrain

Under the hood of the 7 Series Protection is the same 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine that powers its regular variant internationally. This engine makes 530 PS and 750 Nm, and allows the sedan to complete the 0-100 kmph run in just 6.6 seconds.
