World’s Fastest Limo
SOME JOLLY LADS IN A CAR SHOP in Manchester, England took a 3-yr.-old Ferrari 360 Modena and converted it into a limousine. Dubbed the “Supercar for the Masses” it is capable of going 170 mph. But Dan Cawley, the owner, says that after they tune the engine, it should be able to hit 200 mph.
It only seats 8 people, each one in a racecar bucket seat with 5-point harness. The 400 hp car was carefully cut in half and then a 9½ ft.-long carbon fiber section added to it. The passengers get in through hydraulically-operated gull wing doors. By using carbon fiber, which is stronger than steel, yet much lighter, the car maintains its performance standards and can go from 0-60 in less than six seconds. When the project is completed they will rent the car out at approx. $1,500 per hour.
In this video Dan shows how they built the car.
