A California company has created the ultimate VIP transport in the form of a $400,000 van which is described as a private jet of the road.
Becker Automotive takes an ordinary Mercedes Sprinter van and transforms the interior into what seems to be the cabin of a private jet.
The $400,000 vehicle, which can carry six passengers in VIP luxury has reclining, heat-controlled leather seats.
This is the interior of the ultimate van, which is a converted Mercedes Sprinter which looks from the inside like an executive jet
From the inside, the JetVan looks like the interior of an executive aircraft, although there might be more headroom
The vehicle has a 40-inch LCD 4k monitor and a multi-media center providing high-speed internet access to each of the passengers
Unsurprisingly, there is also a minibar, and to avoid the undue attention of the proletarians outside, there is privacy glass with remote control blinds.
A remote control can change the lighting, temperature and what is being shown on the impressive multimedia center.
Howard Becker told CNBC's Secret Lives of the Super Rich, his JetVan took approximately eight months to complete.
He said: 'Tell me what you might need and there's a good chance within the confines of this vehicle, we can get it done for you.
'When you've got to go to the bathroom and you're stuck in traffic, that bathroom is worth as much as the entire vehicle.'
The firm has created vehicles for Dr Dre, business leaders, heads of state and even Michael Jackson.
For those seeking to nap while been driven around, the airline-style seats can fully recline while providing a massage
Yet, from the outside, the van appears to be a relatively normal Mercedes Sprinter, with a couple of additional aerials
As with any form of executive transport, the van is fitted with a cabinet to safely carry enough crystal tumblers for the single malt
Passengers can also use high-speed internet access in case they do not wish to talk to the person sitting next to them
According to the firm's website, each vehicle is fitted with fresh air ventilation systems, sound deadening materials and upgraded suspension to provide a better ride.
The sliding doors are electrically powered.
Even the driver can have the option of a Burl wood steering wheel, GPS navigation and handsfree cellphone kit.
But against the bulkhead, the company fits a 40-inch 4k LCD monitor. Although each of the rear seats has its own 9-inch LCD monitor.
To keep in contact with the outside world, the vehicle is fitted with advanced military-spec communications system to provide broadband and allow several simultaneous connection to the internet.
The on-board computer system can store 200 full length DVDs and 5,000 MP3 music tracks.
Unsurprisingly, the vehicle is fitted with run-flat tyres and has GPS tracking.
Also for the security conscious VIP, who travels through less than salubrious areas, the vehicle can be fitted with handgun or assault rifle protection.
