Say hello to the latest king of the road. Back in the day, gazillionaires measured their ego and self-worth in yachts. Today it’s space travel – Bezos, Musk, Branson – and if some of the sparkling debutantes at the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf are anything to go by, next-level palatial motorhomes.
German manufacturer Volkner has – for this week at least – blown the competition off the road with its Performance S model.Remember how we said it cost $3.2 mill? That’s entry level. A fully decked out, yes please to every option will add another $9 million to the price tag. And that’s before you even get it to Australia.
What does that get you? Well the first thing the eye is drawn to is the slide out panel that can accommodate a supercar. In this case a $4.5 million Bugatti Veyron for when you want to zip around in something a tad quicker. Reverse it off the platform and the metal panel transforms into an al fresco dining area.No supercar? No worries. This cubby – they’d hate us calling it that – also features full AC and heating so it can function as a cabana when empty.
You’ll want some tunes on the road and this is no Strathfield Car Radios bargain. Instead you get a custom-built audio set up from storied firm Burmester. It alone is worth almost half a mill.Inside, we’re talking metre upon metre of lacquered macassar inlays, marble and leather all in shades of cream.Like the transformer it is, the Performance S features another panel which slides out to radically increase the space of the living area when not in motion.
