The development of a VinFast VF 9 limousine is not entirely new information. Although VinFast has not officially announced or introduced it, details about the vehicle have surfaced through publicly available documents, along with images captured during its testing phase.
Recently, social media platforms shared a series of images depicting this very model undergoing ballistic testing.

The VinFast VF 9 limousine, riddled with bullet holes, made its rounds on social media, not through any official channels of VinFast. The shared images prominently display the vehicle’s exterior, peppered with bullet holes across its sides, windows, and even the front end.
From the various angles captured, it appears that the roof of the vehicle has also sustained damage, suggesting that it may have been reinforced to withstand explosive devices like grenades or bombs.

Typically, during ballistic testing, the testing entity will study the vehicle’s structure and select potential weak points for the trial. The images reveal over 400 marked locations, indicating that more than 400 bullets were fired at the car.
Remarkably, the windows remain intact, without any signs of shattering.

Another notable aspect is the presence of the Inkas logo on the vehicle’s side, alongside the VinFast emblem. Inkas is a renowned global company specializing in bulletproofing vehicles, headquartered in Canada.
With over three decades of experience in the field, Inkas has an impressive portfolio, including providing services to over 40 governments and political organizations. Their vehicles are operational in approximately 80 countries across five continents.

Inkas has bulletproofed a range of vehicles, including luxury models like the Bentley Bentayga. Their bulletproofing enhancements are virtually indistinguishable from standard vehicles.
Over the years, Inkas has achieved numerous milestones, including two prestigious awards in 2022: the American Security Today Awards (ASTORS) for Best Vehicle Mounted Security Systems and Best Emergency Vehicle Solution.
According to Inkas, their bulletproofing enhancements adhere to international standards and can be customized to meet specific client requirements. They offer comprehensive protection solutions, safeguarding vehicles from floor to roof and covering all sides, front, and rear aspects.
The bullet resistance levels offered by Inkas include CEN 1063, BR7, VPAM VR7/VR9, and STANAG 4569 Level 4a/4b.

One of the most notable and critical aspects of Inkas’ services is their commitment to in-house research and development. This ensures that sensitive information about the vehicles remains confidential.
Inkas’ capabilities extend beyond civilian vehicles to include bulletproof limousines, cash-in-transit vehicles, and even specialized bulletproof models.
The ballistic testing of the VinFast VF 9 limousine suggests that the vehicle may be intended for high-profile individuals, aligning with previous speculations. As VinFast has not released official information, it remains unclear whether this model will be commercially available.
