Guard
For those VIPs looking for stylish and supremely comfortable transport between destinations, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the go-to vehicle for several decades. The S-Class nameplate represents the absolute best in luxury. But for some, comfort and style aren't quite enough. Some VIPs require protection from potential attacks by their rivals or enemies. And for this select group, Mercedes-Benz offers its S-Class Guard model.
Newest Generation of Armored Luxury
The Guard is a fully armored vehicle that is capable of defending its occupants against a myriad of assault methods, including military-grade threats. And with the introduction of the newest generation of the flagship Mercedes, it's only natural that the manufacturer has introduced the latest S680 Guard.

Massive Vehicle
The armored glass can withstand the blast of automatic rifles and high-power snipers. The exterior shows little to no distinguishing elements from the standard S-Class. But every panel is reinforced to be able to take tons of punishment. The protective measures add a whopping 4,000 pounds to the mass of the regular S-Class, making this a 9,250-lb vehicle.

Twin-Turbo V12
Therefore, it's only appropriate that the S680 Guard is powered by the same twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 as the Maybach. The power plant produces 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The car will need every bit of the V12's grunt to be able to get out of hairy situations fast!
