If in the previous article of this SUV has not been named, and newly at the car's launch ceremony held on the biggest automotive event in China, we knew its name, ie the IAT Karlmann King.

This Chinese-made SUV was performed with a big body and full of cluster of triangular and diamond shaped elements. This extreme SUV has a length size of 6 meter is designed for all-terrains and various road conditions, and predicted would be a serious competitor to Hummer H1 and Dartz Kombat.

The Beijing-based industrial design company said that will build 10 units of Karlmann King, each with the official price start of CN. ¥12 million or approximately US. $1.986 millions (Rp. 24 billions). Wow, it's very expensive !! This compares with 26 times the price of a Ford F-150 Super Duty, which has a price about US. $71,320 or approx Rp. 942 millions.

Interestingly, according to Motoroids, IAT Karlmann King is constructed by taking the base of Ford F-150 Super Duty above, and also adopted the Ford’s 6.8-liter Triton V10 petrol engine with a capacity of 6.8-liters and capable of spraying the power up to 362 hp (367 PS).

For the interior of Karlmann also looks very similar to the 2014 Ford F-150, although there are some adjustments for China's auto market, with gold accents everywhere, along with Alcantara and wood trimming make the Karlmann’s cabin feel gaudier than your average Bentley.
The Karlmann seats four, with the rear passengers getting spoilt with a Rolls-Royce inspired 'Starlight' headliner, tablet holders, a fridge and even matching teacups in different sizes. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOROIDS]
