Armoring and Ballistic Protection: A Certified Sanctuary
The protective integrity of an Infinity Chassis Units vehicle is defined by its holistic integration and definitive certification. For the armored Toyota Land Cruiser, we engineer a comprehensive ballistic safety cell that functions as a unified system with the vehicle’s robust structure, ensuring the highest levels of occupant security without compromising the vehicle’s inherent capabilities.
Our standard protection offering is certified to BR4–BR6 ballistic resistance, adhering to the stringent protocols of EN 1522 / EN 1523 and VPAM BRV international standards. This provides validated defense against a wide array of ballistic threats. The protective envelope is constructed using advanced metallurgical and composite materials, including high-hardness ballistic steel and layered synthetic armors, which are integrated into the doors, body panels, roof, floor, and critical structural pillars. Central to this system is the installation of multi-layer armored glass across all window surfaces, providing uniform protection and preserving essential outward visibility. The result is a fully sealed armored passenger cell. For high-risk missions where the threat extends to ground-based explosives, an optional underbody blast protection system is engineered to deflect and dissipate blast forces, offering a comprehensive 360-degree security solution for the most demanding operational theaters.
Chassis and Performance: Engineered for the Weight of Protection
The Land Cruiser’s reputation is built upon an immensely strong ladder frame, sophisticated full-time 4WD systems, and powertrains designed for longevity under extreme duress. These attributes provide the essential foundation upon which Infinity Chassis Units builds to create a vehicle whose dynamic performance matches its protective stature.
Our engineering process mandates a complete and systematic enhancement of the vehicle’s dynamics. The cornerstone of this is a comprehensive reinforced suspension & braking system. This involves the integration of uprated springs, performance-tuned shock absorbers, reinforced suspension links and mounting points, and a high-capacity braking system with upgraded rotors and multi-piston calipers. These modifications are critical to maintain the vehicle’s renowned on-road composure, off-road articulation, and, most importantly, its authoritative stopping power under full armored load. The factory powertrain is professionally recalibrated to ensure seamless power delivery, optimal transmission performance, and sustained cooling efficiency. To guarantee mobility in any circumstance, a certified run-flat tire system is installed, permitting extended travel at a safe speed following a puncture or ballistic impact, ensuring that occupants are never immobilized in a vulnerable situation. This suite of enhancements ensures the bulletproof Land Cruiser retains its core capability as the world’s preeminent overland vehicle, now equipped to perform under the added weight and responsibility of its armored role.
Interior and Seating Configuration: Mission-Specific Versatility
The interior space of the Land Cruiser is one of its greatest assets, and Infinity Chassis Units offers extensive configuration options to align the cabin with its designated mission profile, from executive luxury to tactical utility.
For VIP protection vehicle roles, we craft bespoke interiors with premium leather upholstery, executive seating with reclining and massage functions, enhanced acoustic damping for confidential communication, and integrated multimedia systems. For government, security, and tactical protection vehicle applications, the focus shifts to durability and functionality. Configurations can include heavy-duty, utilitarian seating for up to seven occupants, modular mounting solutions for communications and equipment, integrated weapon racks, and durable, easy-clean surfaces. All configurations, regardless of purpose, are executed with precision, ensuring that every interior component complements the security and operational readiness of the vehicle. The spacious cabin allows for a clear separation between driver and principal compartments when required, or an open-plan layout for team transport.
Security and Tactical Systems Integration
Beyond the passive armored cell, the vehicle is engineered to serve as a platform for integrated systems that enhance situational awareness, communication, and operational effectiveness. These systems are installed with an emphasis on reliability, discretion, and seamless operation.
Standard integration includes an emergency intercom & alarm systems package, facilitating secure communication between the armored compartment and external security personnel and featuring a siren and public address function. The vehicle is pre-wired and structurally prepared for full CCTV & GPS tracking integration. This allows for the installation of multi-camera surveillance suites providing 360-degree external visibility and covert GPS tracking units with real-time monitoring and duress signaling capabilities. Additional optional systems can include smoke screening, emergency lighting, radio frequency detection systems, and supplemental power solutions for extended stationary operations. All electronic integrations are performed to exacting standards to ensure resilience against electromagnetic interference and harsh environmental conditions.
