Specializing in armored vehicles, Inkas Group painted the Mercedes-Benz G63 an ominous matte black and outfitted it completely in "a protected exterior impenetrable by bullets various calibers, an armored floor designed to withstand explosive detonation, and security cameras around the car to remove any peripherals," writes Hypebeast. Fit for kings and presidents -- and Bella Swans -- the $1 million Mercedes-Benz G63 will keep its occupants safe and sound.
