BMW X7 joins the Armored Forces with Upgrades from Inkas

Luxurious and bulletproof

For those who need extra protection on their daily commutes, there’s now a luxurious option. Inkas Armored Vehicle Manufacturing, a Canadian company, has turned its attention towards the BMW X7. The SUV is equipped with enough ballistics protection that it can deflect high-powered rifle bullets as well as hand grenades. We mean multiple grenades.

The black Bimmer appears to be a regular-issue model, but with a blackout kit. Except for the badge, you won’t find any chrome on the exterior. Although the windows are tinted properly, they are also thicker. At the rear there is an additional door and small window hidden behind the hatch. This is part of Inkas 360-degree armor protection system that earns a BR6 rating. It can stop 7.62 and.308 ammunition, according to. Two simultaneous detonations of hand grenades can cause a blast to the X7.

This SUV has unique options, including air filtration, sirens and emergency lights, night vision capabilities, smokescreen systems, and an engine upgrade to 612 horsepower (456kilowatts). You can have the X7 with either the 523 hp (390 kW), twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 or the 335-horsepower, inline-six.

To handle this extra load, the suspension of the X7 has been modified and run-flat tires have been installed. The standard package also includes additional protection for the electronic control module and battery. The standard package does not mention how much weight this adds to the already slender X7. However, we will venture to say that the V8 engine is likely the better choice.

Leather trim and a variety of BMW options are available to ensure comfort and convenience for both driver and passenger. The three-row seating capacity for seven people is not compromised, but the additional security door makes storage in the back a little more limited. Inkas claims that this is the first BMW X7 equipped with armor and is available for special orders. The price is not listed, but you can ask.
