Vehicle description
The Sultan of Brunei , whose personal wealth is estimated at an astounding $50 billion, purchased this Mercedes-Benz when new to add to his fleet of highly individual custom-built cars. Built by Trasco at their top-secret facility in Bremen, Germany, The V-12 powered sedan is equipped to withstand attacks from handguns, assault rifles, and armor-piercing military hardware. The total weight of the vehicle is now 7,600 pounds compared to a stock Mercedes-Benz S600, which weighs a comparatively low 4,200 pounds. To handle the added weight of the armor plating, the car’s chassis and suspension were strengthened and the car was fitted with run-flat tires. Though fake, the inoperable “moon roof” gives the Mercedes-Benz the appearance of a standard, unmodified car. Such add-ons enable the vehicle to blend into the motoring landscape and reduce the likelihood that would-be attackers will indentify it as a transportation of a wealthy, high profile international figure.
