宝马选择在今年莫斯科车展发布防弹车真是找对了机会！由于克里米亚危机，俄罗斯（尤其是西部边界）是目前世界上最紧张，也是最危险地区之一，而防弹车则是保证出行安全的好帮手。据德媒报道，该车的防弹级别达到VR6级，达到这一级别防弹车可抵御世界上使用最广泛枪支AK47的袭击。为了保护乘客，该车的客舱部分采用钢制装甲结构和车身面板。为了抵御子弹或炸弹碎片崩伤乘客，车门开口和车身面板接缝处这些关键部位都进行了严格的密封。车窗也可抵御钝器袭击，玻璃不会破碎以免伤到乘客。该车动力系统为一台4.4升V8引擎，功率450马力，扭矩650牛米，同时还配备了取自xDrive的全轮驱动系统。该车的底盘，制动和电子部件也进行了升级以降低重量。同时还标配宝马智能紧急呼叫系统，可以将车辆位置传送给宝马呼叫中心。X5防弹车最大市场在南美、非洲和俄罗斯。

 

BMW to Unveil the X5 Security Plus Model at Moscow

It would only seem appropriate for BMW to unveil their latest armored vehicle at the 2014 Moscow Auto Show, right? After all, the hottest and most tense point in the world right now seems to be just on the western front of Russia.

 

The SUV will comply with security level VR6. At level VR6 a car can withstand direct shots from the world’s most popular assault rifle, the AK-47. In order to protect its occupants, the X5 Security Plus model employs an armored passenger cell made from steel structure and panels. To further ensure against penetration by bullets or fragments, the cell features sealed joints in critical areas like door openings and areas between body panels. Furthermore, the glass used on the car can also withstand attack from blunt weapons and it protects its passengers from possible splinters.

 

Under the bonnet a 4.4-liter V8 engine hides with 450 HP and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque that uses the xDrive all-wheel drive system to get out of sticky situations.

 

The chassis, brakes and electronic management systems have all been upgraded to cope with the extra weight and profile of the car and BMW’s Intelligent Emergency Call system is standard, sending the vehicle’s exact location to the BMW Call Center in case of emergency.

 

The biggest markets for this vehicle will be South America, Africa and Russia, of course. They can also be fitted with strobe lights and sirens and such things in case you want them.
