Does the Bentley Bentayga, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Mercedes-Maybach GLS, BMW X7 and Range Rover SVAutobiography seem too fancy and not manly enough for your tastes? Well, it’s your lucky day because Aznom has a very big blue pill to cure your itch: it’s called the Palladium, and it is an Italian coach-built sedan-truck with a hard-to-swallow design.
Based on the Ram 1500, it features bespoke
bodywork, with a Rolls-Royce-like grille up front, flanked by a pair of slim
LED headlights. It also has muscular shoulders, tiny windows in the rear
pillars, inspired by old American cars, and a busy-looking rear design.
All 10 customers of the Palladium, because
that’s how many units Aznom will build, will have a wide selection of
upholstery options to choose from, as well as wood trim and aluminum accents
that will dress the interior. Some of the highlights include the liquor
cabinet, on-board refrigerator, pillows to make those long journeys more
pleasant and stuff such as ambient lighting, multi-zone climate control,
premium audio and infotainment system.
A bi-turbo 5.7-liter V8 powers the
Palladium, making around 700 HP, according to the company, and 950
Nm of torque. This allows it to hit 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and a 210 km/h limited top speed. Nonetheless, as pretty much everything is
customizable, the engine can become punchier.
