A few years back, the Torsus Praetorian made headlines as one of the most extreme off-road buses in the world. Now, that rugged machine has been reimagined into something far more luxurious a fully equipped recreational vehicle designed for serious, long-distance adventures. Named the Liberra, this overlander is intended for travelers who don’t just want to explore nearby destinations but are ready to journey across entire continents in comfort and style.
While the Liberra shares the same robust foundations as the original Praetorian, its mission has shifted dramatically. Instead of serving mining crews or disaster relief operations, it now focuses on providing a premium living space capable of tackling the harshest terrains without sacrificing comfort.
One of the most notable upgrades is a significantly taller roof, offering a generous 2.2 meters of standing room inside the cabin. This enhancement alone makes the interior feel open and livable. To transform the bus into a true luxury RV, Torsus partnered with German specialist Dämmler, ensuring the fit-out meets the highest overlanding standards.
Just behind the driver and front passenger seats sits a cozy lounge and dining area. This section features two additional travel seats and a pair of opposing leather-clad benches in a rich brown tone. The kitchen area is impressively well-equipped, boasting an oven, a four-burner stove, a large refrigerator, ample countertop space, and a sink. Moving toward the rear, you’ll find two single beds that can be joined to form a double. There’s even a compact bathroom complete with a shower and toilet—rare luxuries in an off-road vehicle of this nature.
Many overland RVs make compromises when it comes to aesthetics, often resorting to cheap, uninspiring interiors. The Liberra, however, stands out with its sophisticated wooden cabinetry, refined finishes, and thoughtful layout. Buyers can also personalize the interior to suit their tastes, ensuring that each Liberra is unique. Standard features include underfloor heating for cold climates, a roof-mounted air conditioning system for hot weather, and a water storage capacity of up to 250 liters.
Underneath, the Liberra retains the MAN 4×4 chassis of the Praetorian, ensuring its legendary off-road performance remains intact. Power comes from a formidable 6.9-liter MAN turbodiesel inline-six producing 286 horsepower and a massive 1,151 Nm of torque, paired with a 12-speed transmission.
All of this capability and luxury comes at a steep cost. Prices for the Torsus Liberra start at around €580,000 a figure high enough to purchase a well-appointed home. For those with the budget, however, it offers the chance to take their home with them anywhere in the world, no matter how remote.
