California is
home to some of the most expensive cars in the world. Among them you’ll find
plenty of luxury SUVs, such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Bentayga,
Mercedes G-Class and so on.
Yet, none of those nameplates compare to the
Karlmann King, arguably the most bonkers take on the Ford F-550 ever. This
luxury armored truck was built by Chinese company IAT and it will set you back
at least US$ 2 million.
Go all in with the options list and you could be
looking at $3.8 million, which would be enough to land you just about any
hypercar on Earth. Of course, a hypercar wouldn’t be able to provide you with
such high levels of safety, luxury and comfort.
While this truck may not get you where you need to
go quickly, it will sure enough get you there safe, thanks to its armored
bodywork and massive dimensions. The Karlmann King is 2.5 meters wide and weighs no fewer than 6 tonnes.
Its Ford-sourced 6.8-liter V10 engine is said to
produce some 400 HP, which might sound like a lot, but given how much it
weighs, it only results in an 140 km/h top speed.
As for when you just want to cruise around and
relax, that’s when features such as ambient lighting, its retractable
widescreen TV, refrigerator, Nespresso machine and electrically operated
pop-out tables come into play.
