Armoured Cars

Given South Africa’s high level of violent crime and hijacking, the need for an increased level of security whilst in a motor vehicle is self evident. Up until now there has not been a widely available solution available to the man in the street. Analysis of hijackings in SA show that by far the majority of hijackings are committed with handguns, which in armoring terms are a relatively easy threat to negate.

The solution is a B4 level of Armor. Utilizing the latest in lightweight armoring technology, Ballistic will be able to armor select makes of luxury vehicles currently available in SA to a B4 level. A B4 level of protection will enable the armored portion of the vehicle to withstand shots fired from a .44 Magnum at point blank range. (A .44 Magnum is one of the most powerful handgun calibers).

Part of the uniqueness of the Ballistic offering is the modular system we employ. After our risk assessment a client may decide that only the front door and window need armoring. Another may need a full armoring solution with all doors and glass being armored.

The lightweight armor fitted to the vehicle has little effect on the performance and handling of the vehicle. A vehicle armored by Ballistic will look the same as the original, with only the discerning few aware of its full potential. Armor can be installed as an aftermarket product or at the time the vehicle is purchased. A customer can finance the armoring as part of the purchase price of the vehicle.

One of the many attractive features of the Ballistic offering is its price. An Armored motor vehicle purchased from one of the motor manufacturers will cost in the region of Two Million Rand. The Ballistic offering starts from as low as Forty Thousand Rand for a single door and glass armor solution (dependant on exchange rates).

For those with a higher security risk a B6 level of armoring is available.

Ballistic is partners with one of the leading armouring company’s in South Africa and can facilitate the armoruing of you car any where on the continent.
