00:00COMM 【3]: Our philosophy when building a vehicle is the freedom to make the impossible
00:11possible
00:12If you want to hit the open road – but can't forego luxury – this could be your vehicle
00:25for you ...
00:26This is made for enthusiasts, which are more for the extraordinary taste.
00:33With this eye-catching design, you have a very, very special vehicle which you can use
00:38either for private purposes as an RV, as a mobile home, but also as a VIP coach, even
00:44for hospitality and event activities.
00:49The original design comes from Luigi Colani, who is a world-famous automotive industrial
00:56designer.
00:57His original idea was to use biologic forms out of nature.
01:03We are actually very proud of our aerodynamic design because this allows us to have the
01:09best track co-efficiency currently available for a street-legal truck.
01:17And we save at least 20% fuel compared to the standard OEMs.
01:22One of our main focuses was to combine different characters out of the aviation, of the boating
01:31and finally from the motorsport.
01:35This is how all begins.
01:36We are standing in front of a stock chassis for an Element Palazzo Superior.
01:43The heart of this 28-tonne king of the road is a 600-horsepower Volvo six-cylinder in-line
01:50engine.
01:51The chassis is already extended to the desired total length of 45 feet.
01:57We adapted already our additional air suspension for the main body.
02:03So step-by-step it becomes a luxury Element vehicle.
02:08At the latest version we had to redesign the front grille because we need a lot of air
02:14intake for the engine.
02:16So we decided to choose an automatic sliding door as an entrance.
02:24And once in the cab, the top spec continues.
02:28To build in a very high specific level of quality you need a very carefully selected
02:35choice of materials and components.
02:40We offer two different models, the Element which has a fully integrated cabin with the
02:47body connected, directly connected, which is then mainly used as a mobile home.
02:53We also offer the same futuristic cab to haul semi-trailers, usually used for transportation
03:01of any kind of goods.
03:04It takes eight months to build our Element vehicle.
03:08And this ultimate RV doesn't come cheap.
03:14Available in a whole host of custom options, the Element will set you back a cool $3 million,
03:22making this the world's most expensive mobile home.
03:28The view out of the cockpit is incomparable to any other vehicle.
03:32The drive is outstanding.
03:35You're like the captain on the road.
03:37You feel like flying.
03:39It's just fun.
03:41It's definitely outstanding and unique.
03:44We are very proud.
