Ferrari 458 Speciale that can be shot with Magnum bullets

Posted: Posted:

Doesn't even penetrate .44 Magnum bullets

I didn't know there was such a company.

AddArmorIt seems that the shop (?) Offers a service that changes various cars to bulletproof specifications anyway. It's America.

When I visit the site, it says "Why do you do this? (About making a car bulletproof)" and the answer is:

  • We don't like bad guys
  • We like protecting good guys

Well, it's very simple.

No, I think it's a serious business, but when I look at this site while in a peaceful world, I just laugh and laugh ... How peaceful and happy I am now. I wonder if it is possible to send ^ ^

I think that the government will properly prepare vehicles such as presidential cars with defensive equipment, but I wonder if top companies, entertainers, transporters (different), etc. will order from these companies individually. ?? ??

There is also a level of service provided, starting with something like a "package that protects your car from theft" ...

When it comes to higher-level services, it becomes a "full protection package", and there is an explanation such as "for those who are afraid of being kidnapped and who may explode their car."

But for whom ...

Well, but there are surely such needs, and it may be a very important service in a certain niche world.

Armored Ferrari 458 Speciale

Well, this time, the news was Ferrari 458 Speciale, who said, "If James Bond was an Italian, he would have been riding this."

This V8 mid-engined Ferrari is armored to stop .44 Magnum bullets and costs $ 625,000.

Slow cars will be killed!

Even if it is changed to make it bulletproof, it will only be 67 pounds (about 30 kg) heavier than the standard 458 Speciale, so high speed and agile handling is the same performance that Ferrari is proud of. ..

AddArmor says, "Heavy cars tend to be slow, and slow targets are easy targets to get rid of."

No, what are you fighting for ?! !!

This Ferrari 458 Speciale is said to be "B4 level protection", and it seems that it will not pass .44 Magnum bullets at that level.

Below is the level table. I wonder if anyone who understands can understand it. I don't know ~.

Despite being extremely powerful, the vehicles equipped with the defense equipment produced by AddArmor are said to be 60% lighter than usual, and the bulletproof glass of AddArmor is also sandwiched with "lead glass, polycarbonate, acrylic". Although it is made of, its thickness is 0.8 inches (about 2 cm).

Where there isn't much weight gained, this 458 Speciale has a lightweight Capristo and all the carbon fiber options Ferrari offers to add weight. It is said that they are offset as much as possible.

Unless you see the decals such as the logo, AddArmor's vehicles do not look like bulletproof cars from the outside, they look like normal cars. surely.

If you ask Add Armor to equip your car with defensive equipment, the bulletproof package starts at $ 28,000, from bumpers that can break through barricades to night vision and door handles with electricity. He said that he would respond to various requests, such as giving a shock.

It's a customization of a situation that I can't imagine in a situation like myself, who is living warmly in Japan, but I think it's necessary for those who need it.

It doesn't make sense anyway, so I'll try to make 911 bulletproof! (I'll say something nice again ^^).
