Limousines are known all around the world as special vehicles reserved for important people and important events. The car itself is very special because it has an elongated cabin that typically seats up to 15 people and sometimes more. Over the years, limousine design has seriously evolved. There are so many different styles and sizes of limos available, and they range from very classic and elegant to extremely outrageous and unique. Here’s a look at some of the more unconventional limos on the streets today.
Traditional limousines are sleek and sophisticated, but this one’s on the opposite end of the spectrum. The monster trunk limo, as we’ll call it, is an imperfect blend of classy and rugged. Sitting high above large truck tires that easily exceed 30″ in diameter is an old town car frame that has been slightly extended. The car is boxy, and its body is painted white with a purple stripe running horizontally down each side. The chassis is clearly that of some sort of large truck, and it protrudes significantly underneath the undersized shell that caps it off.
As you can already tell by its name, this aggressive, blacked-out limousine is modeled off the ride of the popular comic book superhero Batman. It seems that the limo was meant to resemble an older version of the Batmobile with its characteristic twin tail fins sticking out of the rear. The limo’s frame received custom body work to include all the curves, bevels, and details to bring Bruce Wayne’s ride to life. The car looks like it could be a heavily-modified standard limo, but it’s also possible that the vehicle was designed and built from the ground up. Either way, it looks pretty amazing. Hopefully the Bat-limo-mobile is as speedy as it looks.
This limo is based off a very famous model that was produced by a German automaker beginning in the late ’50s. Aside from its elongated body, the car features the same spherical headlights, bare-bones front grill, tiny wheels, and rectangular shape of the original. These identifying characteristics give this limo a lot of personality and a cool, vintage feel. This German limo appears to have enough seating for eight to ten passengers.
This is another vintage-styled limo designed by a renowned German manufacturer. The difference between this one and the last one is the body style of the car. This limo is essentially a stretched out van, and it almost looks like a bus from certain angles. The car has a two-tone paint job with yellow on the bottom half and white on the top. The colors are separated by a black “V” trim that extends horizontally down both sides. With nine main windows running down either side of the car, the vintage stretch van likely seats ten to 15 people with ease.
The “stretch” trend has hit many different corners of the automotive world, and it seems that SUVs haven’t been spared. Limousines created from several popular models of SUVs have been spotted all over the place within the recent years, and these types are usually the craziest of the bunch. Inside these stretch SUVs are neon lights of all colors, a mini bar, custom-made seating and floors, an awesome sound system, and other custom features–maybe even a stripper pole. Once you step inside one of these “party buses,” you’ll immediately feel like dancing and getting wild in the mini, mobile nightclub.
Some of these distinctive limousines may be difficult to find, but you’re sure to find a classic limo for your needs at Cynthia’s Manhattan Limousine, Inc. in Austin, Texas.
