The [International Armoring Corporation](<https://www.armormax.com/>) of Ogden, Utah, has recently completed what they claim is "[the fasted bulletproof car in the world](<https://www.armormax.com/blog/fastest-bulletproof-car-in-the-world/>)." The car is, in fact, an up-armored [Tesla Model S P100D](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4971/the-tesla-model-s-p100d-is-here-does-0-60-in-2-5-seconds>). With about 550 pounds worth of composite material hidden beneath the cars body panels, this Model S should be a bit slower than the factory [zero to sixty time of 2.4 seconds](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/8448/watch-a-tesla-model-s-p100d-whip-a-modified-camaro-zl1-with-a-10-7-second-quarter-mile>). That's quite a bit of weight to add, but it’s nothing compared to the thousands of pounds that old-fashioned steel armor would need.

The armored panels are designed to keep the occupants safe from high-powered rifle and handgun fire. Additionally, the Tesla has a “[Bio-Weapon Defense Mode](<https://www.armormax.com/armored-cars/bulletproof-tesla-model-s/>)” that will filter the air coming into the car of any dangerous substances. This particular Model S was built for a client in the Middle East, but International Armoring is also accepting customer orders for anyone in need of extra protection.

## Standard Armoring Details:

### Opaque Armor

Entire passenger compartment armored with light synthetic fiber laminates and air hardened, heat treated ballistic alloys.

Includes doors, roof, floor, pillar posts, etc. while minimizing weight added.

### Ballistic Glass

Original glass replaced with layered glass, acrylic, polycarbonate laminates.

Maintains the original appearance and design with superior optics.

### Other Features

- Reinforced suspension (if needed)
- Run-flat tires
- Elitus Overlaps system
- Armored battery
- Operable windows available (if desired)
- Siren and Intercom System

Customers also have the option to [add gadgets](<https://www.armormax.com/added-options/>) to their car that seem to be straight out of a [James Bond flick](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/1501/at-1-million-james-bonds-lotus-is-way-overpriced>). These include smoke screens, deploy-able road spikes, and electric door handles that, when activated, will give anyone that tries to enter the car a 120 volt shock.
