00:00Our philosophy by building our vehicles is the freedom to make the impossible possible.
00:19If you want to hit the open road but can't forego luxury, this could be the vehicle for you.
00:25This is made for enthusiasts, which are more for the extraordinary taste.
00:32With this eye-catching design, you have a very, very special vehicle, which you can use either for private purposes as an RV, as a mobile home,
00:41but also as a VIP coach, even for hospitality and event activities.
00:46The original design comes from Luigi Colani, who is a world-famous automotive industrial designer.
00:56His original idea was to use biologic forms out of the nature.
01:02We are actually very proud of our aerodynamic design, because this allows us to have the best track co-efficiency currently available for a street-legal truck.
01:15And we save at least 20% fuel compared to the standard OEMs.
01:21One of our main focuses was to combine different characters out of the aviation, of the boating and finally from the motorsport.
01:33This is how it all begins. We are standing in front of a stock chassis for an Element Palazzo Superior.
01:42The heart of this 28-ton king of the road is a 600-horsepower Volvo six-cylinder inline engine.
01:50This chassis is already extended to the desired total length of 45 feet.
01:56We adapted already our additional air suspension for the main body.
02:02So, step by step, it becomes a luxury Element vehicle.
02:07At the latest version, we had to redesign the front grille, because we need a lot of air intake for the engine.
02:15Also, we decided to choose an automatic sliding door as an entrance.
02:23And once in the cab, the top spec continues.
02:27To build in a very high specific level of quality, you need a very carefully selected choice of materials and components.
02:39We offer two different models.
02:42The Element, which has a fully integrated cabin with the body connected, directly connected, which is then mainly used as a mobile home.
02:52We also offer the same futuristic cab to haul semi-trailers, usually used for transportation of any kind of goods.
03:02It takes eight months to build our Element vehicle.
03:07And this ultimate RV doesn't come cheap.
03:10Available in a whole host of custom options, the Element will set you back a cool $3 million, making this the world's most expensive mobile home.
03:26The view out of the cockpit is incomparable to any other vehicle.
03:32You drive it, it is outstanding.
03:34You're like the captain on the road.
03:36You feel like flying.
03:38It's just fun.
03:39It's definitely outstanding and unique.
03:42We are very proud.
03:44of the graphic design.
03:58You're even an amateur, man.
