    Bulletproof Ferrari 458 Speciale Performance Unchanged

    Take one look at this Ferrari 458 Speciale and nothing is amiss, right? Well, you would be wrong as this mid-engined supercar can shrug off bullets as it is armoured.

    The biggest issue with adding armour is the immense weight it adds to the vehicle so what would be the point in adding it to such an agile, lightweight-focused sports car?

    Well yes but AddArmor is using this prototype armoured Ferrari to show off how its protection packages need not be literal boat anchors for the vehicles they’re fitted to. That isn’t to say the B4-level protection fitted to this Ferrari doesn’t add mass because it does. Around 68 kg (150 pounds) but that’s a far cry from the sort of scale-crushing weight numbers armouring used to generate.

    AddArmor’s point, then, is that modern vehicle armouring can be lightweight, enough so that it can be fitted to something like a Ferrari and not impact the car’s performance much.

    This Ferrari can repel attacks from .44 Magnum rounds and pretty much any handgun. Thanks to the use of every carbon fibre extra offered by Ferrari, plus a Capristo lightweight exhaust the AddArmor Ferrari only weighs 30 kg (67 pounds) more than stock.

    According to AddArmor, the 458 Speciale is still capable of its factory top speed of 325 km/h as well as its 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 3 seconds.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
