Dreamt up by John Bettini, the first Bullet prototype was built in 1996 on a Mazda MX-5 chassis with a powerplant from a Mazda RX-7. After his company was purchased by Advanced Engine Components, his original dream of a Lexus V-8 powered MX-5 became reality. Two models were introduced in 2001, the Bullet Roadster and a supercharged version, called the SS.
In all of our bullet proof cars and trucks, we enclose the entire passenger area with lightweight composite armors that are impervious to all hand gun and submachine gun munitions.
The bullet proof windows are made with layers of dense ballistic glass, which are laminated to a tough inner spall shield of resilient polycarbonate.
The bodies of the cars are reinforced with opaque armor that is comprised of several different materials including ballistic nylon, high-hardened ballistic steel, and Spectra Shield™.
The car PFF 1059 discovered at the site, the release further stated, was later identified as one which was stolen from Canadian citizen, Robert Croft.
A darkened spot in the sand close to the entrance of the inlet where the car was concealed identified the area where the fatally wounded Fraser fell after being shot.
This was the moment, the sources stated, that the men, after leaving the car let loose a machine gun fusillade into the heavily forested area as they retreated.
