Hmmm, there’s something about this swanky ride that’s mighty
familiar. Anyway, seen below is a new class of RV that’s supposedly best
suited for the moneyed set, also known as the top 1% the world is angry
at right now.
What makes the eleMMent so radical, aside form its
five-star accommodations, is it’s a whole line of vehicles from Marchi
Mobile. One version is basically a pimped out hotel room on wheels,
another for ‘business executives’ with comfy chairs galore, and still
another a showroom of sorts.
If you’re wondering about its space age exterior, especially the
driver’s ‘cockpit,’ that’s because it’s based on a previous design. An
extensive investigation (also known as a half-minute Google search)
reveals that a concept truck by designer Luigi Colani looks exactly the same as this RV. Turns out Mr. Colani ‘consulted’ on this particular ride.
The contours-intensive appearance isn’t mere flourish either as it
reduces the vehicles energy consumption. Turns out after further
research (again, Google is to thank for this), the sexy curves approach
to car design is an unofficial trademark for Colani. Swell guy. Would be
nice to meet him someday.
This isn’t a hybrid though, as it runs on diesel. It’s also very
expensive, the price tag reaching somewhere in the neighborhood of a
half million dollars. |
