Episode The Michelin Centipede: High-Speed Tire Innovation Cover

The Michelin Centipede: High-Speed Tire Innovation

In the 1970s, Michelin developed a highly specialized vehicle known as the PLR, or "Centipede," to safely test truck tires at sustained high speeds. Built on a heavily modified Citroen DS chassis, this ten-wheeled mobile laboratory utilized a unique hydropneumatic suspension to maintain stability and simulate heavy cargo loads. The massive vehicle featured dual Chevrolet V8 engines, with one dedicated to driving the car and the other powering a hidden eleventh wheel used for testing in the center of the chassis. This internal configuration protected the driver from catastrophic tire failures while allowing engineers to gather precise data in real-world conditions. Although modern indoor technology eventually rendered the project obsolete, the Michelin PLR remains a legendary piece of automotive history currently preserved in a French museum.

Episode Karlmann King: The Diamond Stealth SUV Cover

Karlmann King: The Diamond Stealth SUV

The Karlmann King is a high-end, custom-built vehicle recognized as the most expensive SUV in the world, with prices reaching up to $3.8 million. Constructed on a Ford F-550 chassis, this massive machine features a sharp, angular exterior inspired by stealth bombers and diamond shapes. While its 6.8L V10 engine provides significant power, the vehicle's extreme weight—which can reach 6,000 kg with optional bullet-proof armor—limits its top speed to only 87 mph. The interior is designed for ultimate luxury, offering amenities such as a coffee machine, 4K television, gaming console, and satellite communication. Produced in very limited quantities in Italy and the United States, each unit is a bespoke creation tailored to the extravagant tastes of its owners.
