Helderburg’s armored Defender Bellatrix has been featured in The Wall Street Journal’s story, “The Mega-Rich Are Turning Their Mansions Into Impenetrable Fortresses,” highlighting how ultra‑high‑net‑worth families are investing in sophisticated security far beyond the home. In a section titled “Security, on wheels,” the article spotlights Bellatrix as a step up from typical armored SUVs, noting its electrified door handles, integrated steel protection, and side‑view mirrors capable of deploying pepper spray.
Described as a “fortress on wheels,” the Helderburg Bellatrix model—starting at $658,000—also features a smoke‑screen system designed to obscure the vehicle’s location in an emergency. Founder Paul Potratz explains that the concept grew out of a lifelong love of James Bond, asking, “What would Q want in his armored vehicle?”—and then engineering Bellatrix to that standard of discreet, cinematic protection.
