Most of the Ambani family members are seen driving around the city of Mumbai in bulletproof ultra-luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz S680 Guards and Range Rovers. However, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, Anant, has gone a different route. Recently, he was spotted getting driven around in his bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which is currently the only bulletproof Cullinan in India, as well as part of his personal collection, which comprises around 10 Cullinans.
The video showing Anant Ambani in his newly armoured Rolls-Royce Cullinan has been shared on YouTube by CS12 Vlogs on their channel. In this short clip, we can note that first, a white Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG security car clears the traffic. It is then followed by a Mahindra Scorpio police vehicle and a black Toyota Fortuner with a network jammer.
After which, another G63 AMG is seen before the white-colored bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan with the VIP registration number “1” is seen. We can note that Anant Ambani was sitting on the front passenger seat. Following this, two more G63 AMGs, an MG Gloster police car, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, a Sprinter van, and lastly, a G350d follow the Cullinan.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan in which Anant Ambani was spotted recently is the only bulletproof Rolls-Royce Cullinan in India. In fact, there is not a single other Rolls-Royce that is bulletproof in India. Now, a lot of people have stated that this is a brand-new Cullinan that has been bought by Anant Ambani.
However, in reality, it is one of the ten Cullinans that the family owns. This particular one is originally silver in color but has most likely been repainted or wrapped in white color. This has been confirmed, as this exact vehicle was spotted in a Chandigarh facility back in January of this year. This particular facility is known for bulletproofing cars.
Now, what exactly are the bulletproof specifications, or which level of armour this SUV has been given, has not been revealed due to security reasons. Most likely, the vehicle has been given bulletproof windows and windshields, and the doors have been given armour layers as well. Now, whether it is bomb-proof or not is unknown.
Most bulletproof vehicles in India retain the same mechanicals as the standard car. This means that this particular Cullinan is also using the same 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine that generates 563 bhp and 850 Nm of peak torque. Apart from this particular Cullinan, the Ambani family owns several other Cullinan Series I, Black Badge, and Series II models.
In addition to the bulletproof Cullinan, the Ambani family owns four W223 Mercedes-Benz S680 Guards. One of them is finished in gold, one in silver, one in black, and one in white. Each of them costs Rs 10 crore and comes with VPAM VR10 certification. This is currently the pinnacle of ballistic certification for civilian vehicles.
This certification ensures that the vehicle is not only bulletproof but also resistant to explosive charges. The new W223 S680 Guard also comes equipped with bullet- and blast-proof glass featuring multi-layer construction and a polycarbonate layer for splinter protection. The glass on this sedan measures, on average, from 3.5 to 4 inches.
Akash Ambani also recently upgraded his bulletproof Range Rover Vogue. Earlier, he used a blue-colored SUV. However, he is now seen getting driven around in a white-colored bulletproof Range Rover Vogue.
