The world's most expensive motorhome is up for sale - with a price tag of £1.9million.
Austrian company Marchi Mobile is behind the 40ft long palace on wheels, called the eleMMent palazzo, which comes complete with a pop-up roof terrace measuring 215 sq ft, underfloor heating and a bar.

The space-age vehicle has a huge master bedroom with 40-inch TV, an en suite bathroom, rainfall shower, separate toilet, lounge and driver's cab complete with bunk bed.

The EleMMent can be fitted with mobile internet, a working fireplace, streaming video surveillance and satellite TV, and boasts a glow-in-the-dark finish to improve night safety.

But the most impressive touch is the machine's 'sky lounge' which opens at the touch of a button and features underfloor heating and a bar.
Marchi Mobile says the 510bhp engine will give the 20 tonne eleMMent palazzo a top speed of 93mph while being capable of a relatively high 13mpg, its efficiency for such a heavy vehicle partly down to its aerodynamic design.

It will set the buyer back £1.9million and boast an area which expands to 430 sq ft, making it twice as expensive per square foot as the most lavish properties in London's exclusive Hampstead postcode.

And if you think that's eye-watering enough, brace yourselves, because that's just the starting price.
A source at the company admits the sky is the limit where the luxury vehicle is concerned and, if so requested, they'd be more than happy to cover it in diamonds.

So you could show off the fancy windshield wiper, why else?

Personally, I'm with Ximmy. That windshield wiper sux. Heck, the whole front of it sux. It looks like the offspring of a Kenworth that mated with a cyclops or something.

Actually, the wiper in the first pic of the OP would seem to be the one to have.

Just make the whole round window itself spin, then you don't need a wiper at all..like the big ships use in storms. For the price of that beast, do it right.

Imagine a heavy rain or snowstorm on I-70 over the divide. How could the driver see the mirrors?

No offense to anyone's sense of the finer things in life, but to me that thing is pure hideous. Lol

Who cares about the mirrors in a storm. If that damn window SPUN, at least you'd see what's ahead of you. 1.9 million, and they couldn't figure that out...amazing really.

That's amazing... your right, How can the spend so much on design and construction and not incorporate such a device....

and another thing... that window is the center-piece of the design... freaking dorks could have made a real statement with it...
