At 6.3 seconds to 62 mph, the BMW 7 Series Security Plus isn't faster than a speeding bullet. But, if those bullets leave the barrel of an AK-47, the car doesn't need to be. BMW built the defenses of its armored 7 Series specifically for the Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle. From the press release, the car security features were devised exclusively for this model and thoroughly tested within the framework of product development."

But, if your attackers run out of bullets and take a hands-on approach, there's still no worry; the security glass withstands clubs and crowbars. From the inside, occupants can use an intercom to plead, ridicule, or, I don't know, sing a song to attackers. Also, a "hold-up" alarm locks doors and windows automatically, and blares an alarm. Controls for both reside in the spot used for cupholders in the standard model.

Want more? Options include an intercom with concealed microphone and speakers, an assault alarm, a fire extinguishing system, and irritant gas sensors that close the windows automatically, shut down the ventilation system, and activate a fresh-air supply if a threat is detected. The interior can accommodate radio installations for diplomacy, or two machine guns for the G.I. Joe approach
