Meet the world's fastest stretch limo: a Ferrari Modena 360 limousine by Dan Cawley of Style Limousines and Prestige Limousine in Birmingham, England. They did cut a regular 360 Modena in two to create the behemoth. And of course, there's disco lighting. Can't have a party limo without disco lighting.

No trailer hitch. Why do people make cars without trailer hitches?

What these custom limo builders rarely realize is that you can’t just take a curvy sportscar and stick a straight section into the middle of it. It completely destroys the aesthetics of the vehicle!!! It seems to me that you could get MUCH better results by designing a beautifully curved matching centre section in a CAD program and then having it 3D printed in a giant block of foam for mold-making (like most prototype cars are done these days). This ends up just looking cheap.
I’m assuming that they started with a real Ferrari 360 (although I was surprised that the chassis is so cheap looking), which seems like an odd decision. A kit car would have made a lot more sense for a variety of reasons. Not only would you not be destroying a limited-edition collector car, but you’d be able to mount much more appropriate suspension, engine, and so on. All in all, interesting idea, but TERRIBLE execution.

@Shannon – I think the hook is entirely based on the fact that they turned a Ferrari into a limo, not in actually creating a sportscar limo – which they could presumably do cheaper and, as you mentioned, with better aesthetics.
But these are all quibbles. They have disco lights, and that’s all they need inside.

Find out who these people are, and make sure they never do something this stupid ever again.
