Limousines are luxury cars with a lengthened wheelbase that will allow more people than usual to use the vehicle. They also often incorporate a range of features from fridges to television screens. Generally limos are owned either by very wealthy celebrities, governments, and hire companies that rent them out for special occasions. Here are 10 of the biggest limos ever produced.
10. KAZ LIMO
Essentially a refinement of an earlier Eliica (Electric Lithium-Ion Car) designed by a team at Keio University in Tokyo, this Keio Advanced Zero-emission (KAZ) vehicle, could be the limo of the future. It runs on a battery rather than using fossil fuels to operate, and the prototype can accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just a few seconds, and can reach a top speed of 193.3 km/h. The limo version is 22-foot-long (6.7 m) and has eight wheels. It is also intended for just eight people. This limo took five years to build and it cost a whopping US$4 million.
9.Corvette Stretch LImo
Not very common, the longest known Corvette limos are about 23 feet (seven meters) long. Big Limos built one that was about this size, and it took eight months to complete. It has many of the “regular” features of other limos, including a disco floor and bar, fireplace, all the good stuff to play brilliant music, and four flat-screen television sets. But there probably aren’t that many extras because it holds ten passengers, which is a lot more than some much bigger limos are designed to accommodate.
8. Mini Cooper
The world’s longest Mini Cooper limo is nearly as long as a bus. Crafted in Las Vegas in 2013, this little, but very long limousine measures 27 feet and rides on six wheels. Originally manufactured in Britain, the mini was flown to the US where it was sliced in half and reconfigured with an additional 16-feet of car body. The windows were all blacked out and television screens, DVD players, neon lights and an interior disco ball were added. A special champagne fridge was also fitted. The not-so-mini makeover cost a whopping £65,000, the equivalent of US$98,248 at the current rate of exchange.
7. Pink Limo
This is not a one-off, but rather a limo-line that has taken off, and is commonly available for hire. Mostly it’s got to do with color and size, though the Hummer itself is an eye-catcher too. The average pink Hummer limo will seat about 15 people, and typical features include pretty, exciting pink pubs with drinks to tickle your fancy, as well as top quality audio systems, flat screen televisions, laser and strobe lights, sometimes as well as color-changing ceilings and twinkle lights that look like stars.
6. Boeing 727 Jet Limo
Sold on eBay in 2007 for US$275,000, this weirdly wonderful limousine is part Boeing 727 jet airplane, and part Mercedes-Benz bus. It’s pretty easy to see which bit is which; the jet’s at the top, and the bus is at the bottom, forming the running gear and chassis of the limo. This unusual limo weighs in at 24,000 lbs (1,088.62 kg), seats 50 people, and was advertised as being totally street legit. It’s got a dance floor inside, as well as a big screen television set, a fireplace and a full bar. Proving it’s a disco on wheels, it also features strobe and laser lights as well as a fog machine. It is currently advertised on the Internet for a monthly rental of US$100,000 or US$1 million to buy.
5. Dodge Camper Limo
Not your normal limo, but extra long, sleek and quite extraordinary. Not only does this Dodge truck conversion have extra seating and features inside, but it has also been mounted with a caravan so passengers can sleep in comfort. It’s a 4×4 with only four wheels, which is clearly suitable for all weather conditions, and useful for all times of the day and night. This limo certainly takes camping to another level.
4. Lada Limo
A budget, no-frills, compact sedan car, the Russian-made Lada is not what you would expect to find in the form of a limousine. Popular in Russia and in the West during the 1980s, Ladas were particularly economic on fuel, which might be one of the reasons extending its body into an extra-long limo is actually quite a good idea. But while the body is big on form, the little trunk is still as tiny as ever.
3. Midnight Rider
Designed by Americans, Pamela Bartholemew and Michael Machado, Midnight Rider is the heaviest limousine ever made, and it features in the Guinness Book of World Records. Weighing in at 50,560 lb (22,933 kg), it is 70-foot-long (21.3 m) and 13 foot 8 inches (4.1 m) high. Built in 2004, it has three lounges plus a separate bar, and can seat 40 passengers plus a crew of four. The décor is based on the famous railroad Pullman cars that were immensely popular during the mid-1800s. And if you’re wondering about the name; the limo’s horn plays the theme song from “The Midnight Rider.
2. Colossus Limo
Touted as the world’s biggest and most luxurious limo, the Colossus was built by a US company that rents out “the biggest limousines.” Based in Los Angeles, this monster seats 30, and is equipped with all the “toys” anyone could dream of. These include plasma television sets, a full-on DJ mixing station, Playstation 3 and WII systems, a full karaoke system, a disco LCD floor, and even a club-style lighting system that features laser shows as well as a low-lying fog machine. It has to be seen to be believed. Not surprising that it carried the equivalent price tag as a private jet, and took a year to build.
