The ѕoul of а Bugаtti defіnіtely reѕideѕ wіthіn thіs сonсept by Invіsіve. Itѕ ѕtylingѕ аre а lot lіke а modern-dаy Chіron, wіth the ѕlick horіzontal heаdlights аnd the ѕignature C-сut on the сar’s reаr рillar. However, the Tyрe 103 reаlly turnѕ thіngs uр а notсh wіth іts horѕe-ѕhoe grіll аt the front. Wіth а wіder bаse, the grіll goeѕ from horѕe-ѕhoe to рractically а рarabola ѕhape, аlmost gіvіng the сar а dіscernіble grumрy-face. I іmagіne іf а mаgnificent сar lіke the Bugаtti Tyрe 103 wаs ѕtuck іn trаffic, іt would hаve а grumрy-face too. The grіlle on the front іs quіte ѕloped too, reѕulting іn аn overhаng on the front thаt’s relаtively lаrge, but mаkes the сar look longer, аlong wіth а bаck thаt аbsolutely lookѕ Bаtmobile-ish wіth ѕurfaceѕ trаiling off bаckwаrds to mаke the сar look lіke а motіon-blur even when іt’s ѕtanding ѕtill. It аlso hаs а сentrally loсated vertіcal tail-light/aerowing better vіsіble іn the toр-view thаt reіnforces thаt Bаtmobile іmage, аlmost lookіng lіke the сar hаs а tіny аfterburner on іts bаck lіke а jet.

Deѕigned, modeled, аnd rendered over а week-long рroject tіmelіne, the Tyрe 103 сould ѕtand rіght beѕide the reѕt of Bugаtti’s сars аnd nobody would be аble to tell orіgіnal from fаn-mаde сonсept.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLS comes with a fresh look and new off-road features.
The GLS can be recognised by its even more striking radiator grille. The four louvres are galvanised in high-quality Silver Shadow. The bumper features integrated air inlet grilles, combined with a surround in high-gloss black.
As before, the Mercedes-Benz GLS is a seven-seater as standard. With Catalana beige and Bahia brown, two new leather colours are available.
Mercedes-Benz has recompiled the scope of the Off-Road Engineering package. Components include an underride guard and 30 millimetres more ground clearance. The “Off-Road Mode" in the current MBUX generation turns special content such as gradient, lateral inclination, compass and steering angle into a visual experience. Thanks to the standard Parking Package with 360-degree camera, it offers the “transparent bonnet" function. When the Off-road mode is active, the central display shows a virtual view under the front of the vehicle.
The upgraded Mercedes-Benz GLS will arrive in European dealerships from the end of October 2023; in the USA, the market launch will start in mid-September.
This is the latest of what Mercedes-Benz calls their ‘Special Protection’ vehicles, better known as the ‘Guard’ series, based on regular Mercedes models but modified into behemoths that offer the highest protection level for civilian vehicles, the latest S680 Guard now introduces all-wheel drive into this segment for the first time. The new S680 GUARD 4MATIC offers protection class VPAM and meets the highest ballistic test level for civilian vehicles being particularly resistant to explosive charges, the official certification by Beschussamt Ulm (ballistic testing authority) was carried out for the first time using so-called biofidelic dummies that come with bone and soft tissue-like constructions to imitate the human body particularly realistically. With a base price over €500,000, the S680 GUARD 4MATIC is powered by the renowned M279 V12 engine from Mercedes, delivering 612 hp (450kW) and it’s the first time a GUARD model comes with all-wheel drive in the more than 90 years Mercedes-Benz has been building these Special Protection models since 1928, over that period they have perfected every aspect it takes to create a car that literally has to protect the lives of the occupants, even under attack. On earlier GUARD versions of Mercedes-Benz cars, the required protective materials were added or integrated onto the original chassis and body of the base model, on this S680 GUARD the entire bodyshell has been developed as a GUARD-specific unit from the start to raise the iSS, the integrated protection system, to an entirely new height, this is now a self-supporting protective cell core part of the iSS, the exterior aluminum body panels are just there for looks, and to camouflage the fact this is a high-level, bullet-proof car to drive high-net-worth individuals around. The GUARD iSS not only consists of a new protective cell, a car with this kind of added weight also requires a bespoke suspension to cope with the additional weight compared to the regular series model, this also includes modifications to the engine and transmission, so the driver can expect similar handling as he would behind the wheel of a normal S-Class Mercedes-Benz because these new GUARD models are being developed alongside the normal production models, but they also reach production level longevity. When it comes to the glass surfaces on a GUARD model, the multi-layer glass ‘sandwich’ has to meet the highest requirements of VR10 safety classification, on the inside the glass gets a polycarbonate coating for splinter protection but still show excellent visibility, while at the same time the thick glass has been integrated in such a way that they are not noticeable at first glance, another significant advantage of the integrated protection system. On the S680 GUARD 4MATIC you can get just about every option for the exterior and interior as you would on the regular Mercedes S-Class, with a total of more than 80 options from interior lights, integrated media systems with OLED tech to Mercedes’ First-Class rear suite … you can opt for a three-seat rear or a two-seat rear compartment, whichever the client prefers … always keeping in mind that any ‘unsafe’ options will not be available … a large panoramic sunroof is not possible for instance. This new S680 GUARD meets the requirements of the highest civilian protection class VR10 according to the standard VPAM BRV version three (Bullet Resistant Vehicles), during testing, both the body and the windows must be able to withstand direct impacts from an assault rifle using armor-piercing ammunition, this new S-Class GUARD also meets the requirements of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). Protection against blast attacks is documented by compliance with the latest version of the VPAM ERV(Explosive Resistant Vehicles) standard, the test criteria for which are not freely available. The S 680 GUARD 4MATIC was not only the very first vehicle to complete the current tests, it also achieved the top scores in all three tests (roof, floor, and side) with three out of three stars. Test result: “no damage” to dummies and indicators according to assessment scheme VPAM ERV. The problem with highly-armored cars like this is weight, the added layers of protection add a lot of weight to the base model, for instance, the doors are reinforced on the inside, but they also carry a lot of weight from the thick glass that has to be fitted, this requires special hydraulic window lifters to cope with the heavy glass, but imagine opening the door on a slope, that would be almost impossible without electro-mechanical door actuators that actively push the door open when you pull the latch to facilitate the work of the bodyguards, and at the same time, they can keep one hand free. Cars like the S 680 GUARD 4MATIC include a lot of special equipment bespoke-made just for them, like a fire extinguishing system with an automatic triggering function, or an emergency fresh air system that protects occupants from penetrating smoke or irritant gases, but there are also options available that aren’t listed on the normal S-Class list: including an extensive range of equipment for official authorities, such as a siren, flashing lights, and radios, as well as a panic alarm system. Naturally, a car like this Mercedes-Benz S680 GUARD 4MATIC doesn’t roll on standard tires, this car comes with a set of Michelin PAX run-flat tires are a standard feature, even when perforated these can keep going for up to 30 kilometers to get the occupants safe and out of harms way in case of an emergency, and while the 6-Liter V12 engine boasts 612 hp and 830 Nm of torque at as low as 2,000 rpm, due to the increased weight of the GUARD version, the top speed has been electronically limited to 190 Km/h … but you can have people move out of your way with the flashing blue lights on this car.
Powered by the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as a normal G63, the Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4 Squared’s engine has been massaged to produce an extra 8 horsepower for a total figure of 585 hp. Torque hasn’t been claimed, but the standard SUV develops 627 lb-ft of the stuff. Power goes out to a permanent 4-wheel drive system via a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
