KARLMANNKING

KNOW THE WORLD'S MOST EVERY LAND

Presented as a prototype at the Dubai Motor Show last year, the Karlmann King is an all-terrain of Chinese origin that has the uncanny privilege of being the most expensive all-terrain in the world and that by these days begins to be marketed.The Karlmann King was designed in Europe by a team of 1,800 professionals. The SUV is made of steel and carbon fiber on the basis of a Ford F-550, including its huge 6.6-liter V10 engine, which develops 400 horsepower and is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission and traction on the four wheels.Despite this powerful engine, the Karlmann King can only reach 150 km / h, as it is a four-and-a-half-mass-body vehicle with a body not less than 6 meters long and 2.5 meters width. Although its standard configuration is four seats, it is also offered in a six-seat and six-door version.

The equipment includes two independent air conditioning systems for the front and rear seats, ambient lighting, electric folding tables, a complete infotainment system that incorporates up to the Playstation 4, HD satellite TV, plus a refrigerator and even a Nespresso machine. In addition, for those clients who request, a version will be available, although this option will increase its total weight up to six tons.

One of the particularities of this vehicle that was announced by the manufacturer is that it has the capacity to operate normally in a range of temperatures ranging from -40º to 90º centigrade.Its starting price was set at the equivalent of 6.5 million reais, but equipping it with all the options can raise its price to reach 12 million reais. However, anyone who has an interest in having such a mastodon in the garage needs to hurry, as the manufacturer plans to manufacture only nine units of this extravagant off-road vehicle.
