BRABUS INVICTO - The Four-Wheeled Fortress | Full Documentary

Armored SUVs are enjoying great popularity. Brabus, a company based in Bottrop, Germany, transforms standard G-Class models into fully armored special protection vehicles. The combination of full armor, made of hot-forged steels, and special glazing gives the colossal car the certificate of protection class VR6, which is mandatory for state limousines, for example. Our documentary presents the impressive vehicle fabrications and shows their special features.

The yellow pen used on the fasteners is not only to show it's been tested. It's also a visual aid to easily inspect the car later on to see if vibration or other forces have twisted the fastner loose so it can fall off. They set a mark on the head of the fastener, then on the structure to where the fastener is anchored. If those do not line up, tightening of the bolt is needed. This way several years down the line a quick visual inspection will tell if thing still is tight or in need of tightening.

Today it's long gone and everything you non-german people know is the marketing of it. Even here many germans are switching to other non german car brands more and more because they realize that others are as equally good or even better.

The front passenger door is not fully closed at 43:50min. This is a common occurrence during the use of armoured vehicles. I wonder if the vehicle's tech applies to such a crucial nuance and alerts the driver/co-driver. Aside from the risk of compromising the security in such a situation, there is a real risk of damaging door hinges, which, long term, compromises the liquid tightness of the vehicle

[@spdcrzy]

Wrong. Brabus is considered a manufacturer, not a tuning company (at least by German Law). Same thing with Ruf. They're required by law to NOT use the Mercedes logo, because that would be considered false advertising. Most people would never recognize the logo anyway, and would just think it's a custom G63 AMG or something similar. That's the whole idea. It's conspicuous by nature, so by adding minimal bits of custom work on the outside, it defuses the attention that an armored car would otherwise bring.
