I want to buy this car, remove the seats and replace them with a large bed. Then, taking a page out of the whole mile high club thing, rent the back out to horny couples who want to get it on while I drive it screaming around a race track.

The whole limo thing is rather banal. All of it has been done to death, and there isn't a limousine that is any better that a standard Rolls Royce Phantom III.

That is SO much better than a H2 or Excursion limo.

That's about all it's better than, though.

Remember the pics of the Countach limo? It wasn't even mid-engined. I hate when people put gullwings where they weren't originally.

@trlstanc: A rollercoaster that got off the tracks sound like quite a bit of fun to me. And if you think of it that way, INSTEAD of an ex-Ferrari, it's actually quite appealing.

Oh, who am I kidding; I'm with the minority who think this is grand, even AS an ex-Ferrari. Sure, a Modena is a precious thing, but whacked-out crazy is just as valuable.

This is pretty bad. This reminds me of this white 80s corvette limo that lives at this detailing shop near my parents house. It screams of cocaine and shoulder pads gone terribly wrong. This car will look like that in twenty years, poor thing.

And damnit, I cannot find the 911 limo that was on craigslist in houston for months without selling...

Plus 430's are over produced anyway, so while it is still a Ferrari, the world won't miss it like the Enzo Eddie Griffin wrecked.

Stretching a mid-engined car has to be a lot easier that stretching a front engine, rear-drive car. Some longer cables for the throttle and shift linkage, and lengthen the wiring harness, voila!. No need for a longer driveshaft.

I guess stretching a front driver would be easier still. Next up: Smart ForTwelve.

The sad thing is that a 4-seater gullwing Ferrari would probably get into the JFG; a modern take on the Lamborghini Marzal.

But no. It had to have eight seats, and so ends up looking like it fell off a wanky fairground ride. Arse.

Living in Vegas, I've seen pretty much every type and configuration of absurd-ass limosine...this one trumps them all.

I thought, having been in Austin, TX, last week, I'd seen the worst limo concept...an F-350 which had at least 12 feet added, but they kept the cargo bed.

It's been beaten.

What a cheese ball idea. or is that cheeseball (compound word). Throughout life we all get cheeseball ideas but we take the time to let it pan out so that we realize if the idea is real gold or just a hardened lump of dirt. This guy should have sat back sipped back a little yack so that his little gem of an idea could have panned out for its true worth which in the end ended up being just a hardened ball of cheese.

Maybe only 350 pounds heavier, but what about chassis flexion? To sit in the back seat while it slides would be fun.

But it needs to ditch the cinema seating if it wants to be a true party-mobile.

nick2ny — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:40:31 EST

so if that thing only weighs 350 pounds more than stock, then IT RULES. Yes, it looks like a rollercoaster inside, but can you imagine how predictable the drifts would be? have you ever seen that video when a dude steals a grehound and gets all crossed up in it? This thing could go so sideways, so easily, with 5 angry mother-in-laws inside. GOD, ROCKING. too bad about the doors. they look like the doors to one of those Motorsports Virtual Reality things at fairs.
