It is not unusual for large-sized SUVs to be converted into armored vehicles. They are used by businessmen, presidents, and all kinds of powerful individuals for a very good reason. Simply put, an SUV is a complete package, with immense power, size, and practicality that define its presence. Such features are difficult to find in any other vehicle, and INKAS thinks the same.

The Canadian Armor company regularly fortifies Land Cruisers and Cadillac Escalades, the type of SUVs that influential people usually love and favor. INKAS does all that and more, which is a testament to their wide range of operations. The BMW X7 is their latest project – a vehicle that deserves nothing but the best-armored treatment.

The large SUV has a CEN BR6 armor rating, and even though a ton of armor has gone into the SUV’s body, INKAS had made the conversion work without sacrificing the ride quality and passenger comfort. The body panels and doors are fitted with a bulletproof Kevlar material to maximize protection, while the cargo space has been cut down to make way for a large shield. The tires are understandably puncture-proof.

The armor doesn’t affect the luxury aspect of the premium BMW X7 SUV, as the INKAS X7 has the same tinge of leisure as any regular X7. You can’t feel the difference, thanks to the upgraded suspension setup. If all that is not enough, you can choose the amount of armor you’d like in your vehicle. Therefore, a lightweight model is an option, while a fully-loaded variant is also available. The top variant is armed to the teeth with better tires, heavy-duty brakes, emergency lights, sirens, intercom system, and more.

If you want a piece of this remarkable SUV, INKAS builds the armored X7 on demand. Therefore, we can’t put a price tag on the BMW SUV, but expect it to be very expensive.

After playing the bad guy in yesterday’s announcement to file a lawsuit against a half dead company from Sweden, BMW is once again going to the good side.

The Bavarian company is readying an update for its full range of cop cars and even some of the motorbikes they provide the law with.

There’s no full list of authorities that will get these cars but you can bet the German ones will be the first to sign up for some orders.

On the list of choices for them there’ll be the typical 3 Series Touring, X3, 7 Series High Security model and the X5 Security SUV.

Bike names include the R1200RT, G650GS, F800ST and K1600GT, all of which have been known before. What is particularly interesting in that list is the i3 concept.

Allegedly that’s the car the cops will use for less enthusiastic jobs around towns where pollution could become a problem.

The 7 Series limo and X5 SUV are also not exactly the most popular choices for the police but they are appreciated by the diplomats.

They’re the only ones in the lineup that are properly armored and can be spec’d up the point where they’ll stop a bullet from the infamous Magnum 44 pistol.

With the BMW 7 Series things go even better as that can be further armored to a VR7 and some bits get the VR9 standard to fight against even bigger bullets.

All these vehicles will be on display at the General Police Equipment Exhibition & Conference in Leipzig, Germany throughout next month.

BMW has recently introduced the Security Plus model for BMW X5. This model contains in an armored chassis which can resist to attacks with the AK-47. Also, the BMW X5 Security Plus features a security glass, sealed joints, high performance brake system and tires, etc.

BMW X5 Security Plus was designed to combat all sorts of criminal threats. In my opinion, this is a great car which will help a lot. Also, the BMW X5 Security has an intercom system to communicate with persons outside the vehicle.
