The crew over at armored vehicle specialist Inkas has just launched the world’s first armoring package for the latest-generation Land Rover Range Rover. Like other products sold by Inkas, the upgrades it makes to the Range Rover are so subtle that you wouldn’t even know they were there unless someone told you. The protection measures taken mean the luxurious SUV is certified to the CEN 1063 BR6 level so it can protect occupants from 7.62 mm high-power rifle ammunition. It can also withstand two DB51 hand grenades being detonated simultaneously underneath it.
It’s not only the body panels that have
been reinforced. Inkas has fitted military-grade ballistic glass, an armored
door overlap system to ensure ammunition cannot sneak its way through door
seams, and a rear armored bulkhead partition. The Range Rover has also been
equipped with new runflat tires with solid polycarbonate inserts.
A plethora of optional upgrades are also
available. For example, the engine bay can be armored, the exhaust pipe
protected, an engine bay fire suppression system installed, or a roof escape
hatch fitted. Inkas also offers an advanced CCTV and GPS system, night vision
camera, a siren/PA system, and LED strobe lights. Other options include a door
assist mechanism, oxygen filtration system, reinforced front and rear bumpers,
and a blackout package.
The first 2023 Range Rover modified by
Inkas is an Autobiography model in P530 guise. As such, it is rocking a
4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sourced from BMW that’s good for 523 hp at 5,500
rpm. This engine is coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission driving all
four wheels. Of course, Inkas won’t just offer its armored package on
Autobiography models but all Range Rover variants. It can also build the SUV in
four-, five-, or seven-seat configurations.
Pricing details for the upgrades have not
yet been announced.
