Fresh Air Supply
One of the most impressive qualities of the Maybach S650 Guard is the separate air supply for the cabin.

It also has an automatic fire suppression system and external communication system. Finally, the vehicle comes with run-flat tyres which can cover a lot of distance at relatively high speeds even after being shot and punctured. All these abilities make PM Modi’s Mercedes Maybach S650 one of the safest vehicles on the planet.
