SAY HELLO to the world’s most expensive mobile home vehicle – which is over $3 million in valuation. The ‘Marchi Element’ RV has been created to hit the open road for an adventure, without having to compromise on luxury. Mario Marchi is president of Marchi Mobile, a company which makes extravagant, innovative vehicles. Mario told R.Rides: “Our philosophy by building our vehicles is the freedom to make the impossible possible.” This special vehicle allows you to enjoy the privacy that travelling in a mobile home provides but can also be used for bigger social events. Mario explained the mechanics behind the vehicle. “The original design comes from Luigi Colani, who is a world famous automotive industrial designer. His original idea was to use biologic forms out of nature.” Every part of this RV has been thought through to make it a comfortable ride on the road. Mario said that in the latest version they had to redesign the front grill: “we needed a lot of air intake for the engine. We also decided to choose an automatic sliding door as an entrance.” This ultimate ride doesn't come cheap, available in a whole host of custom options, ‘The Element’ will set you back over $3 million, making it the world's most expensive mobile home. For Mario, this is worth it for the incredible driving experience. “The view out of the cockpit is incomparable to any other vehicle. The driving is outstanding; you are like the captain on the road.”

00:29more for the extraordinary taste.
00:33With this eye-catching design,
00:35you have a very, very special vehicle
00:37which you can use either for private purposes
00:40as an RV, as a mobile home,
00:42but also as a VIP coach,
00:44even for hospitality and event activities.
00:49The original design comes from Luigi Colani,
00:52who is a world-famous automotive industrial designer.
00:57His original idea was to use
01:00biologic forms out of nature.
01:03We are actually very proud on our aerodynamic design
01:07because this allows us to have
01:09the best track coefficiency currently available
01:14for a street-legal truck.
01:16And we save at least 20% fuel
01:19compared to the standard OEMs.
01:22One of our main focuses was
01:25to combine different characters
01:27out of the aviation, of the boating,
01:31and finally, from the motorsport.
01:34This is how all begins.
01:36We are standing in front of a stock chassis
01:39for an Element Palazzo Superior.
01:43The heart of this 28-ton king of the road
01:46is a 600-horsepower Volvo six-cylinder inline engine.
01:51This chassis is already extended
01:53to the desired total length of 45 feet.
01:57We adapted already our additional air suspension
02:01for the main body,
02:03so step-by-step, it becomes a luxury Element vehicle.
02:08At the latest version,
02:09we had to redesign the front grille
02:12because we need a lot of air intake for the engine.
02:16Also, we decided to choose an automatic sliding door
02:21as an entrance.
02:24And once in the cab, the top spec continues.
02:28To build in a very high specific level of quality,
02:32you need a very carefully selected choice
02:36of materials and components.
02:40We offer two different models.
02:43The Element, which has a fully integrated cabin
02:47with the body connected, directly connected,
02:50which is then mainly used as a mobile home.
02:53We also offer the same futuristic cab
02:56to haul semi-trailers,
02:58usually used for transportation of any kind of goods.
03:03It takes eight months to build our Element vehicle.
03:08And this ultimate RV doesn't come cheap.
03:14Available in a whole host of custom options,
03:17the Element will set you back a cool $3 million,
03:22making this the world's most expensive mobile home.
03:28The view out of the cockpit
03:30is incomparable to any other vehicle.
03:33The drive, it is outstanding.
03:35You're like the captain on the road.
03:37You feel like flying.
03:39It's just fun.
03:40It's definitely outstanding and unique.
03:44We are very proud.
