Vanos engine failure or chain assembly snapped -like in my car- and that bulletproof body does nothing for the owner.
Better build reliable engines first.

Or this one has a Toyota engine?

True, but RPG-7's are cheap & plentiful in 3rd world as well.
The odds of encountering a 50BMG round while driving around are lower than winning the lottery. Same goes for 50 cal. Only thing you'd need to fear while riding in this thing is a DShk 12.7 or 14.5 shredding it.

RPG7 won't penetrate heavily armored level 7 vehicles.

Well if you think the odds of encountering a Barrett M107 are unlikely,
how would they be for a huge 74 lb Russian Dshk?
BTW the Barrett is available now- I can get you a deal on one, factory new with Leupold scope pkg.

Ha - I got mine, the 20" CQ model with Leupold MK4 scope BNIB for 11k. And if you want the best, most powerful anti-material rifle you can buy, must pay the price!

Lol what in the world are you shooting with that thing

That's a steal though, relatively speaking.

I would disagree if it was a tandem-Warhead RPG.
