BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards – the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
Underhood, the Concept X5 Security Plus is a lot like what will show up at regular dealerships. A twin-turbocharged, 450-horsepower V8 will sit up front and should deliver enough grunt – even with the extra weight, to escape any baddies that come after it.
We sent out intrepid reporter Jonathon Ramsey to take some pictures of the Bavarian beast, but it seems as though Messe security is spoiling everyone's fun. Says Ramsey, "Without a hint of irony, BMW has put the X5 Armored in the Security Lounge, which I cannot penetrate." Suffice it to say then, that you can have a look at our stock image gallery above, or peek below for the full press release from BMW.

BMW ha traído un vehículo de concepto ligeramente diferente a la del Automóvil de Frankfurt 2013. En lugar de algo que presagia un futuro producto o una nueva dirección de diseño, el fabricante con sede en Munich ha traído un X5 que está diseñado para ser disparado. Se llama el concepto X5 Security Plus. El nombre X5 Concept es un poco engañoso, sin embargo. Se basa en el 2014 X5, mientras que BMW ya se construye un CUV blindada, denominada Seguridad X5. La etiqueta concepto tiene que ver con el "Plus Seguridad" parte.
جلبت BMW سيارة مفهوم مختلف قليلا لعام 2013 معرض فرانكفورت للسيارات. بدلا من أن ينذر شيئا منتج المستقبل أو اتجاه التصميم الجديد، فقد وجهت الشركة المصنعة ومقرها ميونيخ وX5 التي تهدف لاطلاق النار عليهم في. انها تسمى مفهوم X5 الأمن زائد. مفهوم X5 اسم مضلل بعض الشيء، على الرغم من. أنها تقوم على 2014 X5، بينما BMW يبني بالفعل CUV مدرعة، ودعا الأمن X5. العلامة مفهوم له علاقة مع "زائد الأمن" جزء.
