Stretched Ferrari Limo

33

Seems like a shame to chop up such a nice car… But I guess the rich and famous must have the best of the best, and how else would you and five of your friends get to ride in a Ferrari at the same time?

Video after the jump.

“To determine the optimum stretch length of the conversion, and to account for a further six passengers whilst retaining minimum deflection of the body structure. The stiffness and overall weight increase of the conversion will determine how the vehicle performs under acceleration, braking and cornering. It is recognized due to the increase in wheelbase the vehicle dynamic cornering ability will be affected.

The existing chassis is an AA6063T6 extruded alloy with an AA6022T6 floor which has undergone a Cataphoresis process to prevent corrosion. The new chassis will replicate the sections of the extruded alloy, but will be made from 12k carbon fibre reinforcement with a high modulus epoxy resin. The laminate is engineered to give maximum stiffness to the existing sections with minimal weight gain. For example longitudinal unidirectional carbon fibres are placed on top of the beam sections to give stiffness through the length of the chassis, so it will not
bend under the extra load of six passengers.”

  4. @Joe. Im pretty sure its value has gone up, because of the novelty of a stretched ferrari limo and its rareness.


  6. lame… i guess money doesnt bring you good taste does it…
    ut.




  9. That makes me cry……That is like taking a olympic runner and making them run around dragging one of those taxi carts.


  10. What’s the point if it’s not even very roomy?



  13. wow,wtf..I will admit this is kind of cool, but at the same time sad,I know I couldnt chop a piece of art like this,I mean alot of other cars I wouldnt mind tearing in half,But a hand built Ferrari 360 Modena,just no…Also Paul has a good point to Joe that I agree with, The value had probaly increased because of the novelty of this car,the other this I ask myself, Is why use a real Ferrari? They make Ferrari replica’s like the one used in The Rock.


  14. Man! They will stretch anything. I’ve been in some sweet limos, but this one has GOT TO BE NICE! Personally, I would have just kept the Ferrari…

  16. Kinda sad to see such a nice car get sliced up like that, although the end might justify the means in this instance.


  17. Ferrari limo?! Mercedes – ok. Even Min Cooper – ok.. but Ferrari?! Its just too much! Ferrari is not supposed to be a limo.. It is perfect the way it is! I cant believe someone would do this to sucha nice car.. It hurts me just seing it ruined like this. 🙁


  18. Idea is good. I think this car will be look better….
    Who can answer to my question ???? I want to work over my car to limo..
    My question is : What is the price???
    Thanks…


  23. Is this for a record? Who has a plan to stretch the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo?


  25. I want to ride in this limo for my graduation night. A friend of mine says that its not a real Ferrari.
    He gave me this article about it, Fake Ferrari limousine. When you add something to your car like the one they have done with the Ferrari is looses its name? I thought when you buy a car, it becomes your own property and you can do anything to it.


  26. Ha ha, looks great, I heard on the radio at the time that Ferrari were not to happy and wanted the branding taken off the car!


  27. I think this limo should go into the history books for the best looking limousine in the world.


  28. Not really a ferrari fan but it looks quite nice though. I wonder if there’s ever been a porsche or any other super car stretched as a limo. I’ll Google it now.


  29. how long this this car?????pls!!!!!it is importent for me


  30. Fantastic Job!!!
    But its a risk you know, Whey don’t people try hiring a limo 🙂


  31. just the fantastic one for a hire.
