yeah saw it in the Mirror just now while i was on the loo says he's going to take people out for £700 per night, and he says it doesn't have a mini bar but the whole experience isnt for cruising past night clubs at 20mph its about the 166mph top speed

It does actually look good though as a limo, but fuck haivng a limo where you all have to sit in rows in bucket seats, limo's arent any fun unless some bint is sucking you off at the time

Problem is, it does 0-60 in 6 seconds (as quick as 2K of subaru) which is pretty quick, but as soon as 8 of your mates at 100kg a go jump in, its going to be 9 seconds probably, and down to "standard rep mobile" pace, which kind of defeats the point.

It is nothing remotely like the fastest limo, Peicher & VOLN had a limo with 1500bhp over 10 years ago, based on a merc, stretched 13 feet, twin turbo diesel engine of 17 litres, MAGIRUS DEUTZ engine.

I wouldnt have thought it'd be fast with only 400bhp anyway, especially when full.

Why didnt he just use an MR2 replica instead, chop that up, and stick a big power supra engine in it. Would have cost a fraction of the money he's spent and it would look the same, and be a hell of a lot faster too.

Not something that should be taken too seriously, i dont' think. 0-60 times and top speed must be pretty irrelevent for something so long and for that purpose.

Pistonheads quote £700 an hour though

If its for the proper driving experience, does that mean all the guests get a wheel and a set of pedals, or does that mean the chaufeur pays to drive you about?
