The armored version features lightweight ballistic windows capable of withstanding .44 Magnum shots and composite armor that is 10 times stronger than ballistic steel but 5 times lighter.

The car is equipped with an impenetrable Internet/Wi-Fi security package to protect data from hacking attempts.

Also available are options with electric doorknobs, pepper spray dispensers, and concealed weapon slots.
