Default Armoured RR Phantom for Sale



A fully armored Rolls-Royce Phantom, able to withstand everything from a direct assault with an AK-47 to a poison gas attack, is for sale in Germany via online global luxury marketplace JamesList for about $1.5 million. Engineered to the highest international protection rating, the armored Phantom is virtually indistinguishable from the standard version to lure attackers into a false sense of security.

The car features high-tech fiber composites and special steel plating to provide protection for the bodywork, with bulletproof glass for all windows and its own oxygen supply in the trunk in case of a gas attack. The ultra-luxe car's aluminum spaceframe chassis and suspension have been strengthened and the 453 hp powertrain remains unchanged, while nothing has been sacrificed in the way of luxury, refinement and comfort.

Price: $1.5 million USD

If you are in a situation that requires that kind of protection I think I would stick with the rolls because mafia hit men gave up deadly bee bees last month.

My guess is that if the dude can afford to buy that car and put that kind of armor on it he can afford the gas. I would hope its quick in case they decide to chase the dude down for a mafioso street hit .lol


This guy should get a t - shirt that says I live my life like a rap video
