In 2008, the staff of a foreign, high-profile prime minister, on their country’s leader’s behalf, “ purchase of no less than 20 armored limousines” for what would be in entourage accompanying the prime minister as part of a convoy to a scheduled UN Council meeting in a country in the eastern region.

The services of International Armoring Corporation became more relevant than ever to this government at that time, as they requested such a specific number of so many meticulously armored vehicles, and their demands were so exacting.

The windows of each limousine would need to be able to withstand the impact of a bullet, regardless of caliber. The vehicle would have to be impenetrable to ballistic shrapnel, gunfire, explosive impact, and other formidable obstacles that could be presented in the course of evading a perceived threat.

The undercarriage of the vehicles would have to be armored in such a way that any ballistic impact would be rendered ineffective, regardless of the medium by which it was delivered. This would mean not only shielding the fuel tank, but also shielding vital components underneath the hood of the car, such as liquid tanks and the battery, which contained corrosive components that could damage other components nearby if breached.

Mandatory in the request was specification that the tires of the bulletproof cars would need to endure explosive impact, and perform beyond the damage thresholds that would normally incapacitate other vehicles. This would mean some kind of reinforcement either on the outside or inside of the tire in order to prevent deflation due to ballistic impact.

International Armoring Corporation stepped up to the plate and delivered the exact number of armored vehicles requested for sale by this government. Each bulletproof car sold to them was fitted with the company’s patented Armormax vehicular armoring, a lightweight material that is embedded in each of the doors, as well as crucial panels on the outside of the vehicle. The patented Run-Flat Tire System afforded the vehicle an uncompromised ability to evade ballistic attack beyond the point of impact to the tires, for an incredible 60 miles, at speeds of up to 60 mph.

The lightweight transparent armor fitted to the vehicle’s window panels, which replaced the vehicle’s factory manufactured glass, made the vehicles’ cabins impenetrable to rounds as high in caliber as .762.

The armored limousines performed so impressively under conditions of ballistic stress in testing phases utilizing multiple types of attacks that this foreign government not only purchased 20 specially armored limousines from International Armoring Corporation, but also expressed interest in other armored vehicles that they may have for sale.

International Armoring Corporation specially armors the Limited-Edition H2 Hummer, as well as the Lincoln Town Car, under exclusive agreements with the manufacturers of both of these automobiles.
