Full Screen is not supported on this browser version.The typical demarcation of truck cab and truck bed is gone, pushing the back seats rearward to open up a cavernous interior. What’s left of the box is replaced with a slanted rear window and solid body-colour panel, underneath which is a 22-cubic-foot trunk space. To say there’s nothing else on the road like it would be an understatement.

According to those in the know, it seem the company’s founder has a hankering for enormous vehicles from America — particularly presidential limousines which are ostensibly based on pickup trucks, even though they bear a passing resemblance to limos hewn from cars. The chief exec can likely afford to take wild leaps such as these since he is a fifth-generation Italian vintner at the helm of what’s reported to be Italy’s leading company for the distribution of wine and spirits.

The custom design house says it is only building 10 of these Palladium luxury limousines, and just a single copy will be powered by this 6.4L twin-turbo Hemi. Price tag? A cool US$1.5 million.
