Bulletproof Bentley for Sale

For the seriously wealthy and paranoid, a B6 armored Bentley could be the perfect choice in having the ultimate protection against their really upset enemies. Therefore, at ‘only’ 360.000 euros ($500.000), you can get maximum protection in a 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, offered via global online marketplace JamesList.

If you are not a drug dealer, your only enemies are probably your wife, your best friend after he caught you sleeping with his wife, and any dog that finds your car as the perfect toilet for his needs.

After all, it’s a dangerous world out there and there is always a chance you might have somebody with an AK-47 waiting for you just around the corner. This armored version features military-grade B6-level protection, so you are fully protected if you plan to start a war of your own.

"Bentley makes armored cars, not cars that have been armored,"
said the director of Bentley Mulliner, John Killick in a previous release. "It is a crucial difference. We not only do the vast majority of the work in-house at Crewe, but we also do it to the quality levels expected from a Bentley."

Luckily, the exterior suffered no alteration, so the changes are quite subtle. Even if the suspension, brakes, traction control and stability programmes are re-engineered and upgraded to match the armored body shell, the car still handles like the base model.

So what do you exactly get from a level B6 armored car? Well, the car is fitted with ballistic steel in the doors, pillars, overlaps and sides of the vehicle, bulletproof glass, run flat tires, an explosion-proof gas tank and kevlar flooring. Other security options include a self-contained oxygen supply system and exploding hinge bolts to open the doors if a speedy exit is needed.
