If you need to use a car that’s resistant to bomb blasts and bullets, then choosing something inconspicuous like Škoda’s Armoured Superb Estate could be a wise move.

The new variant, which is built in collaboration with an unnamed British converter, meets the PAS 300 protection standard. Understandably, full modification details haven’t been released, but they involve composites, high-strength steel and thicker glass.

One side effect of the reinforcement work is an undisclosed weight penalty, so tougher suspension and brake components are fitted too. Power comes from a regular 2.0 litre diesel engine that produces 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS).

Security isn’t cheap, though. On-the-road pricing for an armoured Superb Estate starts at £118,688.
