I HATE limo's, it doesn't matter what car they're built from or what colour they are, they're all tacky cliched crap!
Once the car of the film star, now only seen taking Sharon and Tracey to the local grab-a-slag meat market club to celebrate their 18th birthday.

Wheres the Engine?

oh dear, an R8 2+6

But, why not put their skills to a reasonable use and make a 4 seater? could be interesting

Did they learn nothing from Top Gear?

"Jesus, this is a nice limo."

[burrows98]

Most ridiculous idea ever whats the point you cant go fast and looks terrible.

[badlands1]

I agree with all of the above to the reason for limo's, but I think that looks nice.

They should use it for business meetings only.

Limos are just crap. Awful, hateful things. I refused to have one for my prom. I had an ice-cream van, all the other gullible idiots (£60 a time, kinda gullible) went in Limos.

[badlands1]

My mate asked me if I could take his daughter and her mates to the prom in my bling Defender and the people who turned up in limos were looking at mine more.
It did look cool, but I had to put a top 20 dvd on instead of The Boss (Bruce Springsteen) I didn't like that.

What an absolute waste of a beautiful car. Completely pointless IMHO

Interesting. Makes me wonder what it'd be like if they built it as a "normal" four door super-saloon...

My thought process also, if they produced a 2+2 variant, I would place an order today.

[bobberz]

Even the rendering looks poorly built; imagine the real thing!

Look at those lumpy doors:

The only limo I'd want! Was for sale in the DuPont Registry in the late '90s. Wonder how it handles?

[adamfawsitt]

I think it is fast minibus rather than limo - don't you need to have sociable seating to qualify as a limo?

[1a35]

These stretch limos are just incompetent buses.

I'm surprised that some of these are allowed on the road.
The extra weight necessary to SAFELY engineer such an increase in length will kill any performance.
Any serious change in the wheelbase will destroy the handling.
Turning circles are compromised compared with purpose-designed vehicles of a similar length.
Ground clearance becomes inadequate.
The majority seem to have sideways seating with inadequate safety provision.

Just think about how much money must have gone into designing and building Obama's Limo - no expense spared there and yet it was defeated by a simple ramp in Ireland.

The Ferrari and Audi shown are just a waste of good cars.
