INKAS Armored Vehicle Manufacturing recently unveiled its brand-new armored Lexus LX 600—enhancing the already highly sought-after model with discreet 360-degree protection and advanced security features. The company also produces highly specialized armored vehicles on other platforms, including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Cadillac Escalade.

With a new 3.5L V-6 twin turbo engine with 409 hp, and equipped with a 10-speed sequential-shift transmission, INKAS says the armored LX 600 is as tough and reliable as it is luxurious, boasting the most advanced technology for critical VIPs. The vehicle comes in a variety of seating configurations, including the standard 5-seat layout, various 7-seat layouts, and an ultra-premium 4-seat VIP layout.

“Despite the significant fundamental redesign Lexus made to the newest generation of its leading SUV, the INKAS team was eager to undertake the immense challenge of completely reengineering the core ballistic components and design of its earlier LX 570 armored model,” said INKAS Co-Founder and Chairwoman Margarita Simkin. “I am thrilled to say that INKAS has successfully engineered the new armored LX 600 with meticulous precision, maintaining the integrity and exacting quality that both INKAS and Lexus are renowned for.”

The vehicle achieves ballistic protection that meets the CEN 1063 BR6 standard, according to INKAS, ensuring the vehicle can withstand attacks from 7.62mm assault rifle ammunition, as well as the explosion of two DM51 hand grenades detonated simultaneously. INKAS’ proprietary armoring system integrates features such as reinforced suspension, a door frame overlap system, engine and fuel tank armoring, ballistic glass, run-flat tires, and underbody fortification to secure all critical structure points and provide full-perimeter protection.
A variety of add-on equipment and tactical upgrades are available, including night-vision cameras, heavy-duty wheels, door-assist systems, engine bay fire suppression systems, and emergency escape solutions. Additionally, INKAS has developed its own exclusive 10-piston heavy-duty braking system which will be available as an upgrade by the end of 2022.
