360° Protection

The VPAM 7 Armoured Mercedes-Benz S-Class delivers the ultimate blend of luxury, security, and sophistication, making it the vehicle of choice for heads of state, royalty, dignitaries, and elite executives. Built upon the world-renowned Mercedes-Benz S-Class platform, this armoured variant discreetly integrates military-grade ballistic protection without compromising the vehicle’s unmatched elegance or performance.

Designed to meet the strict VPAM BRV 2009 VR7 standard, this S-Class provides protection against high-caliber rifle fire and explosive threats—while offering all the refinement and innovation expected from the flagship Mercedes sedan.

Independently tested and certified to VPAM BRV 2009 VR7, this vehicle ensures all-around protection against:

7.62x51mm NATO rounds
Armor-piercing and intermediate threats (e.g., 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm)
Blast effects and fragmentation from IEDs and hand grenades (ERV 2010 compliant)

This level of protection is trusted by presidential security agencies and global executive protection teams.

The passenger cabin is fully armored with large, uninterrupted ballistic plates composed of premium-grade armored steel for maximum protection.

Critical structural points are reinforced for durability and reliability, while other modifications may be made to maintain vehicle characteristics.

BLS armoring materials are manufactured to reflect the vehicle’s original design while enforcing a high level of security that remains discreet.

All armoring designs are prototyped and subsequently fabricated by our engineers and are proprietary to our organization.

Ballistic standards are tested by accredited 3rd-party laboratories to certify bullet resistance to internationally accepted standards.
