INKAS armored G-wagen is a $1,000,000 bunker

Heads of state, the Canadians have your back

The Mercedes-Benz G-class seems to be the armored vehicle of choice for kings, sultans, heads of state and...Canadians?
Toronto-based INKAS Armored Vehicle Manufacturing introduced its newest bulletproof, zombie-stopping armored limo on Wednesday. The beefed-up G-wagen comes in matte black, naturally, with a 43-inch stretched section in the middle and perimeter cameras providing 360 degrees of visibility.
The limo comes with enough armoring to provide protection against 7.62 mm, .308 Winchester FMJ ammunition, “in accordance with NIJ Standard 0108.01 Level 3 and/or CEN 1063 Level B6.” According to INKAS, the reinforced floor can take blasts from two DM51 grenades detonated simultaneously.

All that protection doesn’t mean squat if you can’t hightail it out of a situation when the stuff hits the fan. For that, INKAS adds upgraded suspension and braking components to help ensure ride quality and control. The limo is already based on the G63 AMG, so that means power throughout the rev range from a twin-turbocharged V8 making 536 hp.
Inside, the G is outfitted like a luxury party wagon -- that’s a classy sort of luxury, so no stripper pole -- with curved wood, leather, trick lighting displays and a satellite telephone for calling for exfil. Other highlights include satellite TV -- we're not animals -- a refrigerator, indoor exhaust system and a pistol holder.
Many of the interior features are controlled by an iPad mini, including lighting, seats, cameras, ventilation and audio-visual systems. We’re hoping the tablet is included, and not an extra on top of the $1,000,000 price tag...that’s USD, by the way, not Canadian
