Karlmann King - The World's Most Expensive SUV
The Karlmann King is the ride Batman will get once he settles down, has kids, and needs a more practical car, a roomy SUV, to cart them all to soccer practice and trombone lessons in. The Dark Knight will also buy it because he'll be the only one with the Bruce Wayne levels of cash needed to afford the current most expensive SUV in the world's $2.2 million price tag.
Fresh out of Dubai, the Karlmann King has the marks of over 1,800 auto designers on it. And still, every one of the SUVs will be made fully custom to your interior and exterior whims. For example, would you like your 4-wheeled wasted retirement fund to have a carbon fiber and steel, or carbon fiber and bulletproof body? To consider: the former will land 9,920 pounds in your driveway; the latter a hefty 13,230 pounds.
The Karlmann King's chassis is a Ford F550 commercial cab, which you may or may not find as disappointing as what's behind the Wizard's curtain. It has a standard 6.8-liter V10 engine - up to 398HP - and a max speed of...uh...87MPH. That's cool though. What do you need to go fast for? Your ride's bulletproof on the outside, and on the inside, oh, let's talk about the inside.
Highlights include:
- An app control system for the lights, front and rear independent AC systems, TV lift, retractable table, refrigerator, and coffee maker. So, yeah, the Karlmann King is also kind of like the most expensive camper in the world.
- Hi-Fi sound pumping from a 4K UHD intelligent network LCTV with a satellite option, and a built-in Playstation 4.
- Private safes.
- A phone projection system.
- An air purifier. Because you know whoever's in the back seat of this pimped out SUV is gonna be smoking a serious cigar, a hookah, or big fat joint.
