BMW
presented its all-new armored X5 Security Plus SUV this week at the
Moscow International Auto Salon.
To show off the true toughness of the
high-security sport utility, the company did what was only logical:
attack it with a barrage of machine gun and rifle fire.
According to BMW, the SUV is designed with a "comprehensive
system of protection against violent assault, kidnapping, and organized
crime." This is certainly not a vehicle for the faint of heart.

The
X5 Security Plus features a myriad of security features like an armored
passenger cell with sealed joints that provide bullet-stopping
protection in the seams where the armored body panels meet. The Security
edition also features VR6-level blast-certified bulletproof windows.
At its heart, the X5 Security Plus is still a
high-performance BMW product, meaning it offers a quality driving
experience. Propulsion comes from a 450 hp TwinPower turbocharged V8
engine mated to an intelligent all-wheel-drive system.
