There’s nothing more secure on the roads and highways than an armored sedan or SUV. They're outfitted with extra-thick steel, bullet-proof glass, and polycarbonate linings that make a seemingly normal BMW, Lexus, Mercedes Benz or Cadillac virtually impenetrable. Perhaps the best features of armored cars beyond the security is their level of luxury. Many are based on existing models of high-class vehicles. They don’t sacrifice style for protection, and act as a good disguise while traveling from Point A to Point B. After all, driving down a busy street in downtown London, New York, Moscow, Riyadh, Tokyo, or Rio de Janeiro in a camouflage military Humvee might draw the kind of attention most drivers would rather avoid. Of course, for the more serious excursion, there are plenty of military-grade vehicles for environments where safety and not appearance is the biggest concern. If you make enough money to afford one of these ten incredible and expensive armored cars, you probably need...

For the last 80 plus years the auto industry has changed the way we maneuver around the world. From the first sets of horseless carriages to cars that can reach top speeds that were previously never thought possible, automobiles have come a long way from when they were first introduced and mass-produced. Cars come in all shapes and sizes, personalized to fit every need of the driver now. The invention of the first automobile opened up a whole new way of living for so many people, making things more convenient and places easily accessible that would have taken a lot longer to get to in a carriage or on foot. A civilian armored car is a security vehicle which is made by replacing the windows of a standard vehicle with bulletproof glass and inserting layers of armor plate into the body panels. Unlike a military armored car, which has armor plate mounted on the outside of the vehicle, a civilian armored car typically looks no different from a standard vehicle. Top 12 interes...
