Vehicles carrying VIPs have additional capabilities such as bulletproof glass, puncture-resistant tires and an engine block protected by steel plates. For VIPs who want peace of mind from mush attacks, the Rezvani Vengeance has been created for them as it can not only repel rifles and bombs but also EMP weapons.
This makes the Vengeance more like a military armored car than a regular SUV on the road. It is built on the T1 platform by General Motors used in SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade. There is a choice of using a gasoline engine with 420 horsepower or a diesel with only 277 horsepower.
In addition to window glass that can withstand 7.62x51mm NATO rifle bullets, it has an underbody that can withstand bomb attacks. Rezvani offers additional packages such as a smoke machine that obscures the view of cars trying to follow, bright floodlights that blind people behind and a pepper spray to deter attackers near the car. EMP protection also ensures that the vehicle's electronic systems will still function after a nuclear bomb explosion.
The doors also have deadbolt locks that, when activated, make them impossible for attackers to pick. Although from the outside it looks like an armored car, the passenger compartment can be customized with modern amenities such as a smart TV, plush upholstered seats and an iPad. Passengers also receive bulletproof vests and helmets, as well as gas masks for emergency use only.
The Rezvani Vengeance retails for $285,000 (~RM 1,242,600) for the base model and goes up to $750,000 (~RM 3,274,000) for the more luxurious model.
