Hidden Agenda

The Peter Gunn theme comes to mind when you delve into what's lurking beneath the surface of Addarmor's executive protection escalade.

Many of you might remember a 1980s arcade game called Spy Hunter, in which you’d use a machine-gun-equipped sports car to take out enemy vehicles that’d shoot at you, try to spike your tires, or run you off the road. Your car would also rendezvous with a semi truck that’d upgrade your weapons with smoke screens, oil slicks, and missiles to thwart and destroy the other vehicles. Although much of this was a mishmash of stuff seen in James Bond movies and Knight Rider, it certainly made that coin-dispensing kid pine away over owning a vehicle with these capabilities one day.

Not only has AddArmor provided an answer to that fantasy, they’ve redefined the term “armored vehicle” into “mobile safe room.” As mentioned in the “What if Your Vehicle is Attacked by an Angry Mob?” article in Issue 27 of our sister publication, RECOIL OFF GRID, your car may be the only thing protecting you from grave injury or death from active shootings/bombings, car-jackings, smash-and-grabs, and blockades. From the outside it looks like a mildly modified Escalade, but there’s actually much more going on than the unsuspecting eye might catch … and that’s the idea.
