Stretched Ferrari Limo

at 5:26 am. Filed under Insane Equipment, What Were They Thinking

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.”

    wow! seriously, some people have all the cool toys…

  13. Cisco Says:

    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. AddLimo Says:

  16. Hexypoo Says:

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

  23. Kate Says:

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

  24. Limo Hire Says:

    Looks pretty nice as a stretch limo.

  25. Johnson Says:

    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. Finishing Touch Says:

    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!
