The Armored Group Completes Up Armor of Audi A8 W12

PHOENIX - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- The Armored Group (TAG) has just announced the completion of a new armored Audi A8 W12, which was developed for a high net-worth individual.  Though this was the first “up armored” Audi A8 developed by TAG, the results were so impressive that it is now in The Armored Group’s production fleet and currently available to all clients.  The process was done with a goal of maintaining the exterior style and details of the vehicle; upon completion it is virtually impossible to identify the armored from the unarmoured vehicle.  The armor level on the Audi A8 W12 is B6 and the up-armoring process took eight weeks from start to completion.

The Audi A8 is unique because it was developed using very proprietary lightweight materials that were developed by The Armored Group engineers.  In fact it is 18% lighter than competitors’ light-weight composite materials.  It also contains a number of unique interior features such as exhaust fans, a siren, PA system, strobe lights and other special “James Bond” style gadgets that were requested from the owner of the vehicle.

“We have had many requests recently from heads of state and high net worth individuals who have asked us to provide OEM armor on their luxury vehicles, while maintaining the external stylings of the vehicle.  The Audi A8 is just another example of how are able to take just about any vehicle, outfit it with protective armor and maintain the integrity of the vehicle,” said Robert Pazderka, owner of The Armored Group.  We continually develop ways to provide our clients with the highest level of safety in a wide range of vehicles that meet their individual needs.”

TAG also has a complete non-armored specialty vehicle division. The company builds several different types of vehicles used for serving warrants, conducting raids and transporting people. Their line of Rapid Deployment Vehicles (RDV) is NTOA tested and recommended.  Other TAG vehicles are used for Hostage Negotiators, EOD, Command Centers, Crime Scene investigations, and many others.
