Nowadays, you can't help but pay a lot for a feature-laden motorhome. Take the 2015 Winnebago Brave RV as a prime example - this retro-modern toy retails at $95k without ticking a single box in the options list. However, the expensive madness goes even further than that and the most wicked RV in the world sold for a staggering $3 million in sunny Dubai.
This over-the-top motorhome is known as the eleMMent Palazzo and it's made by an Austrian company called Marchi Mobile. I think most of us can agree that this land yacht is a very ugly piece of personal transportation, but the ugly looking skin of the motorhome that sold for a cool $3 million is covered in gold sheets because Dubai is the world capital of opulence (and lack of taste).
Curious about what the Marchi Mobile eleMMent Palazzo can actually do? For starters, the world's most expensive motorhome measures 40-foot in length and boasts with two floors of extravagance and personal entertainment. The lucky sheik or whatever who bought it can now enjoy a suite of large rooms, including a master bedroom, a living room complete with a fireplace and a ginormous 40-inch TV set, a side pop-up cocktail bar and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
But the party piece of the eleMMent Palazzo is something we actually dig - a rooftop terrace that can be deployed or retracted at the simple push of a button. As if that wasn't enough lavishness, then what about underfloor heating everywhere and ambient marble lighting? Is that enough to float an oil sheik's boat or not? Lastly, the luxury RV can reach 93 mph (150 km/h) despite its 44,000-lb (20-ton) weight.
