Want something for the school run? Got £1.56 million? You need a Karlmann King

Sometime, in the near future, Rolls-Royce will unveil the Cullinan. It’ll be RR’s first modern ‘high-sided car’ (that’s SUV to us normal folk) and is set to be the most opulent and expensive 4x4 on the planet.

Except it isn’t. Because this is. It is called the Karlmann King.

It’s a six-tonne, bulletproof SUV that’s set to cost £1.56 million. Hey, you can’t put a price on safety. Especially when it comes to safety on the school run. So, if that’s a worry you have, it’s a bargain because not much will stop this.

Based on an American Ford F-550 truck, the Karlmann King is designed by Chinese company IAT and built by a team in Europe. So it’s truly a global car. And what a design. The company describes it as “an unprecedented visual feast”, and you have to admit there’s plenty to chew on. Mainly all the lines. There are many. Karlmann tells us 1,800 people have been involved in the design of the King, and having had a good look at it, we’re not doubting them.
