00:000033 Our philosophy by building our vehicles is
00:09the freedom to make the impossible possible.
00:19If you want to hit the open road but can't forgo luxury, this could be the vehicle for
00:25you.
00:26for enthusiasts which are more for the extraordinary taste. With this eye-catching design you have a
00:36very, very special vehicle which you can use either for private purposes as an RV, as a
00:41mobile home, but also as a VIP coach, even for hospitality and event activities.
00:49The original design comes from Luigi Colani who is a world-famous automotive industrial designer.
00:57His original idea was to use biologic forms out of nature. We are actually very proud on our
01:06aerodynamic design because this allows us to have the best track co-efficiency currently available
01:13for a street legal truck. And we save at least 20% fuel compared to the standard OEMs. One of our
01:23main focuses was to combine different characters out of the aviation, of the boating and finally
01:32from the motorsport. This is how all begins. We are standing in front of a stock chassis for an
01:40Element Palazzo Superior. The heart of this 28-ton king of the road is a 600 horsepower
01:48Volvo six-cylinder inline engine. The chassis is already extended to the desired total length of
01:5545 feet. We adapted already our additional air suspension for the main body, so step by step
02:04it becomes a luxury Element vehicle. At the latest version we had to redesign the front grille
02:12because we need a lot of air intake for the engine. Also we decided to choose an automatic
02:20sliding door as an entrance. And once in the cab the top spec continues. To build in a very high
02:30specific level of quality you need a very carefully selected choice of materials and components.
02:39We offer two different models. The Element which has a fully integrated cabin with the body connected,
02:48directly connected, which is then mainly used as a mobile home. We also offer the same futuristic
02:56cab to haul semi-trailers, usually used for transportation of any kind of goods. It takes
03:04eight months to build our Element vehicle. And this ultimate RV doesn't come cheap.
03:14Available in a whole host of custom options, the Element will set you back a cool three million
03:20dollars, making this the world's most expensive mobile home. The view out of the cockpit is
03:30incomparable to any other vehicle. You drive it, it is outstanding. You're like the captain on the road.
03:37You feel like flying. It's just fun. It's definitely outstanding and unique. We are very proud.
