It comes with a twin-turbo, 5.7-liter V8.
Ever wanted to drive an extravagant sedan with the same bones as a Ram 1500pickup but without the expense? The Aznom Palladium is the creation of an Italian coachbuilder who took on the bizarre project known as a “hyperlimousine”. They intend to produce only 10 units, so don’t be surprised if they aren’t a common sight along the roads.
The Palladium is a striking piece of jewelry, but it may not be in a good way depending on your taste. It measures 19.55 feet (5960 mm) in length. It has a two-tone front with a small grille and illuminated uprights at the center. The corners are lit by narrow lights.
The passenger compartment’s chunky design and prominent rear fender recall the Bentley Mulsanne, but on a larger scale. It is an elegant design detail to include a trapezoidal opera window on the C-pillar.
The back is where things get very strange. The roof’s raised sections flow backward to form a short rear deck. It is not a traditional trunk, or even a hatchback, if you pay attention. The bumper is instead able to slide out like a drawer.
Twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 produces 700 horsepower (52 kilowatts) as well as 701 pound-feet (701 Newton-meters). As an option, the eTorque mild hybrid system is also available. An eight-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive and an electronic locking differential powers the engine. Aznom claims the vehicle can travel 62 miles per an hour (100 km per hour) in just 4.5 seconds, and accelerate to 131 mph (215 kph).
The Ram truck’s connection is revealed by the dashboard. Straight from the truck, you can see the instrument panel, rotary dial gearshift and huge portrait-layout infotainment display. Aznom uses premium materials for upholstery and trim to keep it special.
This luxurious vehicle is designed for those who prefer to drive while a chauffeur drives. To keep the passengers comfortable, the rear features air conditioning that is independent from the main unit. A refrigerator is available for them. There are two Microsoft Surface X Pro tablets and a Harman Kardon sound system for entertainment.
The complete set includes luggage made from the same leather and stitching used in the interior. The set also comes with an umbrella made by Francesco Maglia, a high-end manufacturer.
