Chinese Designers Create World’s Most Expensive SUV at $2.2 Million

Designed by Chinese company IAT Automobile Technology, the SUV will come in a big package. According to Car Scoops, the creator of this model used a Ford F-550 to lay the groundwork for the Karlmann King.

Normally, the car weighs at around 4.5 tonnes (9,920 pounds). But its body can be upgraded for about $3.8 million to make it bulletproof, increasing the weight of the vehicle to 6 tonnes (13,227 pounds).

Under the hood, this beast comes equipped with the Ford F-550’s 6.8 liter V10 engine, which has been revamped to reach about 400 horsepower.

The maximum speed you can drive in the Karlmann King is only at 87 miles per hour (140 kilometers per hour) due to the weight of the car.

Aesthetically, the outside of the Karlmann King looks like a beefed up version of the Batmobile. But it turns out that the real beauty is actually on the inside.

Features to look forward to include ambient lighting, electrically operated pop-out tables, widescreen televisions, a Nespresso machine, a refrigerator and champagne fridge and even a PlayStation 4, Daily Mail reported.

Plus, you can also choose several different color themes for the interior. Check out these examples:

Those who would like to own a Karlmann King for themselves need to act quickly as the Chinese maker announced that they will only create nine vehicles, which is considered one of the luckiest numbers in China, according to Fox.

If only the Karlmann King had a bed installed inside, then maybe it could compete with the $1 million Chinese luxury RV that looks like a mini mansion on wheels.
