Often times, I find myself reporting on crazy vehicles that I could never afford for my own. So why not report on the most unaffordable vehicle? The Karlmann King is an SUV that costs over $2 million.
The King was created by Chinese firm IAT, and built by a small European team. It is saturated so heavily in luxury that even Rolls-Royce and Bentley cant step to it. IAT said they wanted to build a "stealth" vehicle without being discreet. Its edged exterior imitates that of stealth jets or the Batmobile.
Where does it all begin? Well, with a Ford F-550. While it's sporting a 6.8-liter V-10 engine pushing 400 horsepower, it weighs nearly 5 tons. This means speed isn't its strong suit, capping its max speed at 87 mph.
The specs aren't what you're paying for, however. It's the insides. From the starlight headliner to the leather-laden surfaces, the cabin is the pinnacle of extravagance. Dynamic air conditioning is available for the front and back seats. A gaming console, coffee maker, and multiple hidden champagne compartments are interwoven throughout the vehicle. All of them are controllable via a smart interface, even.
I wouldn't quite call this Batman, but it is absolutely Tony Stark.
