Canada’s Inkas Armored has unveiled the
ultimate bulletproof variant of the latest-generation Mercedes-AMG G63: the VIP
Limo. Equipped with the latest luxury features, security and protection, the
G63 VIP Limo is said to set a new standard in VIP vehicles. As the video
reveals, the luxury off-roader has been stretched, measuring 6,186 mm bumper to bumper and 4,374 mm between the axles.
This means interior space is cavernous,
but since this vehicle isn’t about transporting lots of people, Inkas only fits
it with seating for four – two at the front (including the driver) and two in
the huge separate rear compartment.
As you can imagine, the stretched G63 is
designed for the VIP rear occupants who benefit from all the luxury features
imaginable. The split partition is designed to allow a 4K TV to be tucked away
in the lower console, in case the front and rear passengers need to
communicate. The rear area also features a premium audio system available in
multiple speaker configurations, Apple TV integration, a motorized bar with a
built-in cool box, and premium fully-reclining captain’s chairs upholstered in
top grain leather or premium Alcantara suede. The chairs feature built-in
massaging, heating and cooling functions, as well as a built-in control center
allowing rear passengers to have full control over all media, lighting,
comfort, and security functions.
Also part of the package is a customizable
daylight headliner specifically calibrated to mimic real sunlight as closely as
possible. The G63 VIP Limo is also fitted with a chemical filtration system to
ensure the vehicle cabin remains free from pollutants and bacteria. As with its
predecessor, protective measures obviously go beyond that and start with
armoring materials covering the entire perimeter of the vehicle’s body. Meeting
CEN 1063 BR7 level of protection, they provide shelter against attacks from
7.62x51mm or .308 Winchester FMJ ammunition. Moreover, they enable the G63 VIP
Limo to withstand an explosion from two hand grenades detonated simultaneously
below its floor.
To cope with the added weight and maintain
high performance and a smooth ride, Inkas has also upgraded the suspension
components and fitted heavy-duty run-flat tires which enable the vehicle to
drive at full speed even with punctures. Rounding out the standard armoring
package is high-quality ballistic glass, protection for both battery and
electronic control modules, and an overlap system for door seams.
The 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine remains
stock, delivering 577 HP and 850 Nm of torque to all four
wheels via an AMG Speedshift TCT 9G nine-speed automatic transmission.
