AMG G63 Goes Back to Military Roots, Still Maintains Luxury
Canadian armorer INKAS turns Mercedes-AMG G63 into $1.2 million luxury bulletproof and armored SUV limo.
The G-Class wasn’t always a boxy luxury SUV. When it was first introduced in 1979, it was a boxy SUV with military roots. Over time, though, those roots would be pushed aside for more and more luxury, eventually attracting celebrities and wealthy CEOs.
And yet, some of those celebs and CEOs (and maybe a few politicians, too) might need those military roots to protect them from whatever danger lurks in the throngs of the masses. Business Insider has the goods on Toronto, Ontario-based automobile armorer INKAS, who has taken the Mercedes-AMG G63 under its wing to make it a bulletproof luxury SUV limo.
This $1.2 million limo gets its power from a 563-horsepower 5.5-liter V8, fueled by a 25-gallon tank holding only the finest of gasoline. That’s only the tip of the iceberg, though.
The outside of the G63 armored limo is outfitted with run-flat tires, reinforced suspension and door hinges, multi-layer bulletproof glass, fire suppression, surveillance systems, and enough armor to stop 7.62mm rounds and up to two DM51 grenades from ruining everyone’s day.
Inside, there’s a 4K television with Apple TV integration, Alcantara suede and exotic leather for days, Turkish walnut wood all over the place, and a custom daylight headliner to boosts everyone’s spirits while the driver ferries the owner and three of their friends out of danger.
INKAS’ vice president of sales Philip Daskal says his company’s customers don’t want to nor feel like telling the world they’re “driving a ‘tank,'” proclaiming the G63 armored limo “is a testament” to this desire. He adds that INKAS “takes pride in maintaining the performance, durability and comfort that you’d expect to find in a regular vehicle,” while also protecting them “with close to a metric ton of ballistic material.”
