ALBAWABA - At first glance, it may resemble a spaceship cruising down the highway, but this majestic vehicle is, in fact, the "Element Palazzo," the latest creation in the world of luxury mobile homes (caravans) by the leading European automobile manufacturer, "Marchi Mobile." Its design is inspired by yachts, airplanes, and high-end sports cars.
When people think of "luxury cars," brands like Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, or Ferrari typically come to mind. However, this innovative vehicle goes beyond the conventional concept of luxury to offer a unique blend of comfort, practicality, and opulence. Crafting each of these vehicles takes approximately two years, with costs ranging from 2 to 4 million dollars, depending on the desired specifications.
The idea of "mobile homes" or caravans has gained significant popularity worldwide, as many prefer to enjoy a more enjoyable and private touring experience. Companies have started competing to present distinctive caravan models to attract customers.
In response to this trend, Mario Marchi, founder of the "Marchi Group" and the chief designer of this innovative model, commented, "In reality, I was initially selfish; I designed the 'Element' for my personal enjoyment first."
He added, "I grew tired of the prevailing traditional models on the market, all of which shared the same design and specifications. I didn't want to follow the same common trend; instead, I wanted to create something distinct and unique."
Marchi also pointed out the significant development that the "Element" has undergone since its initial launch on the road in 2012. He utilized automated robots to assemble the vehicle's components, manufactured the required spare parts to support customers, and replaced fiberglass with synthetic carbon fiber for increased strength, durability, and lighter weight.
The first thing that catches your attention in the "Element Palazzo" is the futuristic design of the driver's cabin, inspired by helicopter cockpits. The cabin is located on the second floor of the vehicle, featuring a giant front glass and a raised driver's seat, giving you the sensation of flying above the road, along with panoramic views of the surroundings.
The cabin also comes with modern seats and digital displays resembling those found in aircraft cockpits. Additionally, the vehicle's structure is designed to reduce air resistance, with an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.36 compared to 0.30 for sports cars, which contributes to improved speed and a 20% reduction in fuel consumption.
"It's like being inside a four-dimensional cinematic experience, providing you with a 180-degree view of everything around you," described Mario Marchi, the driving experience inside the "Element Palazzo." The caravan measures 40-45 feet in length and up to 16 feet in width when fully extended. It features oval windows inspired by yachts and elegant chrome accents reminiscent of luxury racing cars.
The living space is equally impressive and luxurious, with an estimated area of 732 square feet. It offers comfortable lighting, climate control capabilities, a state-of-the-art cooking area, a fireplace, automatic sliding doors, a 42-inch LED screen, a beverage corner, an extended sofa along the length of the caravan, and more amenities that ensure passengers enjoy the highest level of comfort and even invite their guests. On the other side of the kitchen, there is a spacious bedroom furnished with luxury furniture by the prestigious "Hypnos" brand, known for designing beds and mattresses for the British royal family.
But that's not all; the master bedroom also includes a separate "spa room" and gentle natural treatments to provide a luxury hotel experience. Similar to luxury yachts, the "Element Palazzo" is equipped with an automatic lifting system that allows the roof to be raised and transformed into a fantastic rooftop lounge for enjoying panoramic views of the sky anytime, day or night.
In addition to all these innovative features, "Marchi Mobile" allows its customers to personalize their vehicles. For example, some customers request the addition of a meeting room and suitable seating to meet their business needs, while others request the addition of another bedroom or modifications to the interior design to suit their personal preferences.
