BMW introduces heavily armour protected 760Li High Security

If you are a celebrity, minister or sportsperson who is concerned about your security while travelling then worry no more. German car manufacturer, BMW, introduced its new armoured sedan based on the BMW 7 Series for individuals with enhanced security needs. The BMW 760Li High Security is certified to the international standard guideline BRV 2009 and meets the requirements of ballistic protection. BMW 760Li High Security provides safety in the individual mobility segment in combination with travel comfort, drive technology and a slew of innovative equipments.

Expressing his views on the BMW 760Li High Security sedan, Philipp von Sahr, President of the BMW Group India said, “For seven decades, the flagship from BMW has stunned the world through highest level of style and contemporary luxury with maximum driving dynamics. It represents the best we have to offer. The BMW 7 Series makes a compelling individual statement convincing you not only with its high-quality, exclusive character, but also with its functionality. The BMW 760Li High Security provides optimum safety in the individual mobility segment in combination with unparalleled comfort of travel, superior drive technology and an abundance of innovative equipment features to guarantee confident motoring at all times.”

BMW claims that the 760Li High Security sets new standards in effective protection combined with comfort and performance. The security concept is based on findings which BMW gained as a result of its development work and more than thirty years of experience in security vehicle engineering.

The security concept was developed parallel to the production model and the integration of safety components is an integral part of the vehicle production process at BMW’s Dingolfing plant. Specific chassis components are adapted to the increase in weight due to the sedans’ armour plating. Hence, reinforced suspension, dampers and suspension strut top mountings are part of the model-specific component range. This approach ensures finely-tuned vehicle performance characteristics that cannot be achieved by retrofitted armour plating.

BMW also ensures the confidentiality of clientele and provides exclusive consultancy and personalized sales and service support all across the country. BMW High-Security sedans are serviced by certified special garages only. Access to the vehicles is restricted to very few selected and specially trained personnel. As part of the special customer service, BMW offers special driver training programs for security vehicles.
