How to build a Ferrari stretch limo

Step one
- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Have your estranged wife demand half your Ferrari F360 as part of the divorce settlement. Cheerfully inform her of the fact that you fully intend on taking her literally and chopping the car in two before coming to an agreement. Having planted the seed of an idea, quickly come to the realisation that slicing the car down the middle and stretching it several feet is not so far-fetched after all, particularly for Dan Cawley, known as "Limo Dan" and creator of stretched Porsches, Range Rover Sports and Europe's largest limo. A chance meeting with one of the country's leading carbon-fibre craftsmen, Chris Wright of Carbonyte UK, the company that developed the HotFusion process used in the construction of the Mercedes-McLaren SLR.





Step two
- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Now this is the hard bit and where the doubts creep in; take an angle grinder to the aluminium chassis and bodywork of a pristine Ferrari F360 and separate the driver's cabin from the drivetrain at the back. No going back now as it couldn't exactly be glued together again. Now in the capable hands of "Carbon Chris", bond a substantial chunk of reinforced carbon fibre floorpan to the two halves of the chassis, uniting them once more and transforming the two-seater into an eight-seater. Each passenger will have their own lightweight racing bucket seats, three-point harnesses and of course, this being a limo, TV screens.





Step three

Take yet more carbon fibre weave and use it to fashion two stout rollover hoops that have the added advantage of helping support the vast gullwing doors stretching down each side of the vehicle. Obviously some bodywork is needed and you've really only one choice, yes, that's right, more carbon fibre. What you end up with is a car that weighs only 175kg more than the original and although the maker admits: "due to the increase in wheelbase the vehicle dynamic cornering ability will be affected," it also claims it retains, "the feel of the car when driven hard". And there you have it, the fastest limousine in the world, the longest Ferrari ever and a car fit for a Cheshire wedding.

The guy was holding the drill already, too bad he was stupid enough to miss his own head.

Re: How to build a Ferrari stretch limo

175kgs more? This is just insane! A masterpiece!

If it is good done (which seems the case) I am deeply impressed. An 8 seater Ferrari, lighter and better looking than a Scaglietti. And the Gullwing-doors, wonderful idea.

This is just fabulous tuning. Impressive. A bit long though.

Make it shorter, only 4 seater, and you have something really stunning!

What's the Ring time for this beast? I bet it handles well in the tight corners.
