Armored Aston Martin Vantage by AddArmor

The Aston has ballistic glass, a blast-resistant hardened steel roof and fuel-tank shield, exhaust shields to prevent foreign objects from being inserted, and electric-shock door handles, according to an AddArmor press release. 

The Vantage also rolls on run-flat tires.

Other parts of the car are armored with lighter Kevlar, helping keep the weight of the total armor package to 450 lb, according to AddArmor. 

The company said it adjusted the suspension to account for the extra weight, but didn’t mention any upgrades to the AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. So Aston’s claimed 3.6-second 0-62 mph time is likely blunted a bit.
