As the runabout has a heavy weight, that's why it gets stupendous brakes with six piston calipers, so that its power outputs can't be affected. At Zero pressure, the S600 Guard is capable to go up to 28 km with the help of an exclusive Michelin PAX run flat tyres, which are literally very impressive. On the other hand, this vehicle includes an emergency fresh air system and automatic fire suppression.
