Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured
Armoured vehicles are usually big black luxury saloons or SUVs, which are specially designed to save their passengers in case of extreme danger.
Land Rover has announced Discovery 4 Armoured Vehicle, which features 5.0 liter LR-V8 petrol engine with 375 PS (276 kW) and 510Nm (376 lb-ft), instead of 2.7 liter V6 diesel. The large mighty petrol engine has the tough job to pull a curb weight of 3 550 kg (7 826 lbs). Despite that, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds.
The AWD of Discovery 4 Armoured is fitted with a Terrain Response System which has various settings to grant perfect traction at all conditions.
The security features ballistic steel plates for high-velocity ballistics as well as blast protection against 15 kg of TNT, or its equivalent, and under floor protection against two DM51 hand grenades. Furthermore, the armour fitting is complying with European standards. As you may suggest, the big heavy SUV comes with run-on-flat tires and besides all protective outfitting the vehicle still has a payload capacity of 500 kg (1 102 lbs).
To maintain all new weight, the suspension is upgraded - new air springs and revised damper settings, biggers roll bars. The stopping power is supplied by Alcon heavy-duty brakes.
Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured comes with a 3-year or 80 000 km warranty on both the vehicle and the armour.
