00:06Our philosophy by building our vehicles is the freedom to make the impossible possible.
00:1303. Attack Vehicle
00:20If you want to hit the open road but can't forego luxury, this could be the vehicle for
00:25you.
00:26made for enthusiasts, which are more for the extraordinary taste.
00:33With this eye-catching design, you have a very, very special vehicle,
00:37which you can use either for private purposes, as an RV, as a mobile home,
00:42but also as a VIP coach, even for hospitality and event activities.
00:49The original design comes from Luigi Colani,
00:52who is a world-famous automotive industrial designer.
00:57His original idea was to use biologic forms out of nature.
01:03We are actually very proud of our aerodynamic design,
01:07because this allows us to have the best track co-efficiency
01:12currently available for a street-legal truck.
01:16And we save at least 20% fuel compared to the standard OEMs.
01:22One of our main focuses was to combine different characters
01:27out of the aviation, of the boating, and finally from the motorsport.
01:34This is how it 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
01:46is a 600-horsepower Volvo six-cylinder inline engine.
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,
02:12because we need a lot of air intake for the engine.
02:16Also, 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,
02:32you need a very carefully selected choice of materials and components.
02:40We offer two different models.
02:43The Element, which has a fully integrated cabin with the body connected,
02:48directly connected, which is then mainly used as a mobile home.
02:53We also offer the same futuristic cab to haul semi-trailers,
02:58usually used for transportation of any kind of goods.
03:03It 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,
03:17the 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.
03:33You drive it, it is outstanding.
03:35You're like the captain on the road.
03:37You feel like flying.
03:39It's just fun.
03:40It's definitely outstanding and unique.
03:44We are very proud.
