INKAS’ Armored Mercedes S-Class Will Pamper You With Luxury And Protect You From Assault Rifles

If your daily commute could involve getting attacked by assailants with assault rifles and hand grenades, you can breathe a sigh of relief as INKAS has unveiled an armored version of the latest Mercedes S-Class.

Designed to combine luxury with impressive levels of protection, the S580 4MATIC flies under the radar thanks to discreet armoring that includes multi-layer bullet resistant glass as well as full “perimeter protection of the passenger compartment.”

The upgrades don’t end there as the model has been equipped with a reinforced suspension and protection for key vehicle components. The car also rides on run-flat tires as the best way to survive an attack is to escape.

That’s just the starting point as the vehicle can be equipped with additional safety features including fire suppression systems, an onboard oxygen supply to fend off chemical attacks, and a “thermal night vision system which increases visibility by four times at night and ensures the vehicle can operate through dark, dust, smoke and fog.” The model can also be outfitted with strobe lights, a siren, and a public address system which enables occupants to communicate with people outside the vehicle without lowering the windows.

Thanks to all the upgrades, the S-Class features BR6 levels of protection and this means the model can withstand simultaneous detonations of two DM51 grenades as well as assaults from attackers using 7.62 mm ammunition.

While the lifesaving measures take center stage, INKAS noted the modifications haven’t impacted the S-Class’ various comfort and safety features. Another thing that’s unchanged is the car’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that develops 496 hp (370 kW / 503 PS) and 516 lb-ft (699 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system, but there’s little doubt the armoring has negatively impacted the standard model’s 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 4.4 seconds.

The armored S-Class is available worldwide and can be shipped to all major seaports or flown airfreight upon special request.
