WATCH | Armoured Toyota Prado gets blown up in Armormax test

The demand for armoured vehicles in Mzansi has grown dramatically in response to armed hijackings and hits.

Armormax is one of several companies that build armoured cars for politicians, high-flying executives and other wealthy clients seeking protection on SA’s crime-ravaged roads.

The Johannesburg-based company recently conducted a test to see what it would take to completely destroy one of its cars. Watch as an armoured Toyota Prado is subjected to high-powered rifles, machine guns and finally, a big bang.
