Inventor, technologist, former head of research and development for Disney’s Imagineering department Bran Ferren became a father for the first time in his fifties.
Since the birth of his daughter, he’s been constructing an ‘adventure vehicle’ in which he and four year-old Kira intend to travel the world.
It’s called the KiraVan and Ferren – who’s already designed a series of location trucks for ABC – has spent ‘millions’ developing the 10m long, 3m high, six-Kevlar-wheeled mobile fortress with its dozen interlinked communication systems, bathroom, full kitchen, penthouse and impressive all-terrain chops, including the ability to negotiate 45 degree slopes and travel 2000 miles on a single tank of diesel.
Due for completion later this year, it is thought to be the most elaborate all terrain vehicle ever built.
