Accessories such as air filtration, sirens, emergency lights, night vision system and smoke protection systems are also available. The battery and ECU are additionally protected.

The standard X7 has a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 523 hp and also offers a 335-horsepower inline-six engine. Also, Inkas offers an engine upgrade to 612 hp.

To withstand the extra load, the car has a reinforced suspension as well as run-flat tires.
