The entire cabin of the vehicle is reinforced with armor plates and the windows are thickened. This gives it a BR6 protection rating, which means it can withstand bullets fired by assault rifles. Meanwhile, INKAS claims that it can also cope with the explosion of up to two DM51 grenades at the same time under its abdomen.

To ensure a quick escape, the car was fitted with deflated warranty tires, and that's not all, as INKAS also reinforced door hinges. At the same time, since it weighs much heavier than the standard luxury sedan produced by Mercedes-Benz itself, it gets a new suspension. In addition, as an option, brands that specialize in making such vehicles could equip them with strobe lights, sirens, and even on-board oxygen systems to help passengers survive chemical attacks.

What has not been changed or adjusted is the engine. This is the S580 variant of the car, so it uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with 496 horsepower (503ps/370kW) and 516lb-ft (700N·m) torque for the standard S-Class, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The setting allows it to accelerate from stationary to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds and electronically limit its top speed to 155 mph (250 km/h). It's worth mentioning, though, that the armor makes it extra heavy, so don't expect it to be that agile.
