At first glance, it looks like an ordinary Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In reality, it’s one of the most expensive and heavily protected cars on the planet. The S 680 4Matic Guard VR10 comes in at about €772,905—more than $900,000—and makes even a Rolls-Royce Phantom seem comparatively attainable.Built on the W223 generation, this S-Class packs a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 rated at 612 hp and 900 Nm. Power goes to all four wheels through an automatic transmission, yet the real story here isn’t speed but survival; this flagship puts safety ahead of lap times.The VR10 protection rating signifies a body capable of withstanding armor-piercing rounds and automatic fire, including shots from an AK-47. Thick glazing, reinforced doors, an integrated fire-suppression system, emergency power, and tires that keep you moving after damage turn the sedan into a rolling stronghold.The cabin, finished in Macchiato Beige and gray, blends wood and leather. Passengers get massage seats, a refrigerator, sunshades, climate control, and a Burmester audio system. The odometer shows just 8,300 km, and the car is available for export worldwide.For comparison, a Rolls-Royce Phantom is around $600,000, and a standard Maybach S 680 starts at 244,000. Neither is built to shrug off gunfire—on that count, the armored S-Class Guard feels genuinely priceless.
