by Armored Rolls-Royce Cullinan: Luxury Under Protection
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is considered the pinnacle of luxury among SUVs. For owners who need safety while traveling with a driver, the Canadian company Inkas offers a special solution. This firm is known for armoring large SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Suburban, and has now released a package for the Cullinan as well.
Discreet Protection
Unlike some other armored vehicles on the market, such as Rezvani models that attract attention, Inkas vehicles stand out for their restraint. If you park this Cullinan next to a standard SUV, nothing gives away its features, despite the work being sufficient to protect against 7.62mm caliber bullets and the simultaneous detonation of two grenades.
Structural Reinforcement
To improve passenger protection, the company reinforced the doors, floor panels, and roof, as well as installing military-grade glass around the entire perimeter. An armored rear partition now completely separates the cabin from the cargo area. Additionally, the vehicle received military Run-Flat tires and a reinforced fuel tank.
Rich Selection of Options
Like other Inkas offerings, this Rolls-Royce can be equipped with a range of options for even greater protection. These include armoring the engine compartment to protect the V12, an escape hatch in the roof, 360-degree security cameras, a night vision camera, reinforced wheels, an oxygen filtration system, reinforced bumpers, as well as a siren and intercom system.
Luxury Without Compromise
All this protection does not affect the interior luxury that has made the Cullinan so popular among wealthy buyers. The cabin is still finished with the finest leather, presented here in a striking combination of red, black, and white.
Engine Unchanged
Inkas does not interfere with the operation of the Cullinan’s 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine. Therefore, it continues to produce the standard 563 hp and 850 Nm of torque. There is no information on how much weight the armoring added, but it undoubtedly affects the SUV’s dynamics. It is fortunate that even in standard form, it does not lack power.
This approach by Inkas demonstrates that modern premium vehicle armoring can be unobtrusive, preserving the aesthetics and comfort that Rolls-Royce owners expect. Although the exact weight of the armor is not disclosed, it is obvious that the additional load will affect fuel consumption and acceleration dynamics, but for the target audience — high-ranking officials and public figures — the priority is safety, not sporty performance. It is interesting that the company chose not to upgrade the engine, relying on its initial power reserve, which likely still provides adequate dynamics even with the extra weight. This decision also underscores the philosophy of “discreet protection,” where the exterior appearance and technical specifications remain as close as possible to the production version.
