by How It Works Team · 03/11/2015

James Bond isn’t the only person who needs a tricked-out, bulletproof car to help him escape the bad guys. Many celebrities, rich businessmen and of course political leaders need armoured vehicles to protect them against potential threats too. In Issue 79 of How It Works, we reveal how everyday cars are transformed into four-wheeled fortresses equipped with bulletproof glass, run-flat tyres and countless other safety features, as well taking a closer look at Bond’s new wheels; the Aston Martin DB10.
