The beautifully Beijing Auto BJ80 Riot Control Car was unveiled on
the 2016 Guangzhou Auto
Show in China. It is based on the BJ80 SUV but fitted with a
completely new body and clad in extra steel and kevlar plating. The result is
absolutely impressive, especially in this matte gray color scheme.
It looks all the armored car business with angled
and sculpted surfaces to deflect rockets and shock waves. And it even has a
sticker on the rear panel depicting a white start with the word ‘power’.
Secretly however this is not riot control vehicle. Instead it is a luxurious
armored car for wealthy clients who need a bit more protection, a bit like cars
such as the Dartz Prom and the Rhino GX.
That’s exactly the same interior as the BJ80.
Nothing riot control but leather and wood. It also has a sunroof, which makes all the armor completely
useless. The rear has two individual seats, although they are
so close to each other they in effect form a bench. There are two tray tables
and another tray with two cup holders in the middle.
The rear looks brilliant. The lights are so small
they are hard to aim at. Now guess what powers this not-really riot control
vehicle. It comes from Sweden. It is old. Yes! The Saab 2.3 turbo four, good
for 250 hp and 350nm, mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic,
sending power to all four wheels.
The BJ80
Riot Control luxury Car is available on special order. No word on price, but we
bet it won’t be cheap.
