      Prime Minister's security is indeed a top priority for people across the globe. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott gets a fifth generation BMW 7 Series High Security car that is stated to be based on VR7 ballistic protection standard which was tested under the BRV 2009 guidelines. The vehicle is reportedly stated to be built at a cost of about $500,000. Be it firing from AK-47 or a roadside explosion, the vehicle has been developed to tackle it all with ease.

      The vehicle has been built using strengthened steel that has also been backed up by an interior that is made from sculpted synthetic fibers that are hard and stated to be heat resistant. The new vehicle gets additional safety features like inclusion of tyres that remain inflated even when punctured, a self-sealing petrol tank, an attack alarm along with an intercom system that allows the occupants to communicate with people outside without having to open the doors. Prior, to this, the older car only featured customized parts like bulletproof doors, windows, armored floors and protected fuel tank.
