In the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S680 Guard luxury car, high- ranking officials, politicians, and celebrities can travel in style while still being properly secured. 'Guard,' as the name suggests, is Mercedes' way of suggesting it's a bunker on wheels that also happens to be an opulent sedan.
 
The Mercedes-Benz S680 Guard 4Matic, also known as the Mercedes-Benz S680, is a stately sedan with a long wheelbase that has been developed to earn VPAM VR10 certification. It is the greatest level of ballistic protection available for a civilian vehicle, indicating that it can withstand certain gunfire and explosives.

Rather than incorporating protective elements into a standard S-Class, engineers completely redesigned the bodywork to provide more resistance than the prior Guard variant. The car has 10-centimeter (almost four-inch) thick windows and Michelin PAX run-flat tyres that can last up to 30 kilometres (19 miles) after a puncture.
 
Apart from an emergency oxygen tank and a fire extinguisher, the S-Class Guard's cockpit is nearly identical to the normal model, with features like a 12.3-inch digital driver's display and 12.8-inch MBUX touchscreen infotainment system, linked car technology, and quality leather and wood trim. It is available in four- and five-seater variants.
