World's first gullwing Ferrari limo
(Credit: Limousine and Chauffeur Show)Decades ago, seeing a Ferrari on the street was as common as spotting a Blue-Footed Booby in Golden Gate Park. That's hardly the case anymore, in this Age of Wretched Excess. But it's still possible to make a statement with the storied automobile--namely, in the form of a stretch limo.
The vehicle pictured here is no prom-night special--it's the world's first gullwing Ferrari limo," according to organizers of the annual European Limousine and Chauffeur Show in England this month. Gizmag says the black Ferrari 360 Modena is also the fastest limo in the world, which we don't doubt for a nano-second: Despite having a 23-foot-long body, it goes from zero to 60 in less than 6 seconds and tops out at 170 mph.
The custom-built stretch Ferrari, commissioned by Style Limousines of Manchester for nearly $400,000 in modifications, skips the usual mini-bars in favor of 9-foot gullwing doors. Because what good is a Ferrari limo without a grand exit?
This limousine works on the 3,6 liter engine V8 and, in spite of its sizes, to the "hundredth" it is accelerated only in 6 seconds. Between the sawn front and tail ends of former 360 modena is inserted the another part. The persistent transactions on the magic transformation, which were being continued in the course of 8 months, gave the good fruits: limousine entered into the history, namely into the Guinness book of records as the most rapid and longest automobile Ferrari in the world. Its maximum speed - 274 km/h.
I think that it will be unforgettable to use this car as weeding transport, but unfortunately not many limo hire companies offer such vehicle, cause it is a really and really expensive car and it will be expensive to look after it.
