The armor package replaces the Golf GTI’s standard windows with Optima ballistic glass, while the panels, pillars, rear seats, and hatch are fortified with lightweight synthetic armor. Armormax also adds a push-to-talk radio to the inside of the car. However, this won’t be filed under bulletproof or bomb resistant.
Armormax has designed its Golf package to meet the European B4 standard, meaning it could withstand small arms fire such as pistols and shotguns. The B5 level is classified as protection from rifles like the AK-47, while B6 caters to high-power rifle protection. Full B7 standard is the highest available on the European EN 1522 / EN 1063 ballistic resistance scale and can withstand fire from armor-piercing rounds. This armor is typically incredibly thick and heavy, usually the reserve of bespoke armored creations, which is why the Golf GTI is limited to B4 protection.
