INVICTO BY BRABUS
INVICTO by BRABUS: Armoured vehicles based on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
INVICTO
A new addition to the BRABUS product range are special protection vehicles. The company produces an innovative variant of the current Mercedes-Benz G-Class armoured in accordance with the VR6 Plus ERV standard, the INVICTO. The all-terrain vehicle comes in three different versions: PURE, LUXURY and MISSION.
In order to give provide the occupants with maximum protection against small arms fire and explosives, the engineers from BRABUS developed the “INVICTO Shelter Cell,” a self-contained, self-supporting and bolted-down protective cell. In addition, there are further protective elements that are in part produced using a special 3D printing process and, of course, all-around extremely tough bulletproof glass.
After extensive ballistics and explosives testing, the German National Testing and Certification Office for Weapons and Security Engineering, the Beschussamt Ulm, certified the protective effect of the INVICTO as per the VPAM BRV 2009 and VPAM ERV 2010 standards. The armoured off-roader resisted not only 7.62 x 39 calibre rounds, an ammunition used in automatic rifles such as the AK-47, but also hand grenades and 12.5-kilogram PETN explosive charges.
BRABUS naturally offers a high level of security with the INVICTO, security that remains largely unseen from the outside. What is more: active safety is also a given thanks to agile, safe handling. To this end, the special protection vehicle is equipped with a custom suspension, a high-performance braking system and 20-inch INVICTO wheels with special run-flat tires.
