SYDNEY — The Australia Prime Minister has ordered a fleet of bombproof BMWs to protect leaders during the G20 summit this year.

BMW Group Australia confirmed the Government purchased nine BMW 7 Series 760Li security vehicles. The vehicles are BMW armoured security vehicles with identical engineering and performance specifications.

The $6.2 million fleet can withstand AK47 fire, attacks with explosive devices or armour-piercing weapons.

"The optimised-armour plates are made from an incredibly strong special steel, and fit the bodywork of the car like a second skin," car manufacturer BMW said on their website. "And reducing the number of components also increases the level of protection for the occupants, as there are far fewer potential points of vulnerability."

Some of the features include a self-sealing petrol tank, an alarm to alert of attacks and an intercom which allows the occupants to communicate externally from inside the vehicle.

Luxury features include seat massages, 9.2 inch colour screens and adjustable seat temperature.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott's office confirmed the contract had been won by BMW, replacing the older fleet of Holden vehicles. A government spokesperson attributed the BMW Group’s success in the tender process to the high levels of security, performance, economy and service the company was able to provide.

The sale of the vehicles was completed through an official tender process conducted between BMW AG and the Australian government.

"As hosts of the G20, the Australian Government has an obligation to provide armoured vehicles for visiting foreign dignitaries — this security requirement is standard for all governments hosting international summits," a spokesman from Tony Abbott's office told the Daily Telegraph.

The BMW X5 Security, much like the BMW 7, can protect from an armed attack.

The style-conscious bombproof fleet of limousines, which retail for $525,000 each, will be used at the G20 summit in Brisbane in November to transport leaders such as U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron.

“The new vehicles will be used first during the G20 summit. After the G20, they will be placed around Australia and used as security transport for federal ministers, visiting foreign heads of state and senior foreign dignitaries,” the government spokesman said.
