Made from a Ferrari 360 Modena that is halved & stretched by 9.5ft with a section of hand-built carbon fibre. A 3.6 litre V8 engine gives a top speed of around 166mph (just 17mph less than the standard 183mph Modena) & it can go from 0 to 60mph in less than six seconds. It lost little of its performance because it weighs just 160kg more than the original 1390kg car. This 23ft long, the 400bhp vehicle has been equipped with an extra six seats & can carry eight passengers in total & the car gives an average of 15mpg on the motorway. It has a six speaker surround sound system & slimline DVD built in & apart from this, it has a 10-inch flat screen monitor between each pair of seats which relays images from cameras fixed on the outside of the vehicle. The project is thought to be around £200,000 & the world's fastest limousine is available to rent - £700 an hour.
A man who made the world's fastest limousine is facing the wrath of an automotive giant – because Ferrari want him to stop calling his car a Ferrari.

But Ferrari are now demanding that he remove all the Ferrari badges and names from the car, and to stop referring to it as a Ferrari, on the grounds that it isn't a Ferrari any more. If he refuses, Cawley faces legal action for infringing Ferrari's trademark.
