Armormax fortifies Tesla Model S P100D with bulletproof glass and armor

Ever since Tesla started manufacturing its electric cars, the Model S and Model X consistently gained stellar safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). For US-based armory firm Armormax, however, the Model S P100D could still become even safer.

How? By lining the car with bulletproof material and armor, of course. The Utah-based company has created what it bills as the ‘Fastestest Bulletproof Car in the World” in its latest creation.

According to Armormax, the lightweight armoring division of International Armoring Corporation (IAC), they were able to accomplish something special with the first-ever full-armor Model S P100D. Since the electric car gained its reputation for its insane acceleration and its impressive performance on the road, one thing that the US firm did not want to compromise was the Tesla’s weight. Thus, for Armormax, one of the things that they had to achieve was a delicate balance between reinforcing the Model S P100D with armor and keeping its performance virtually untouched.
