| Long Ferrari |
With Christmas days away and presents still to buy for all your family and friends, sometimes a regular estate is just not big enough for all the bags.
Which may explain why these last-minute shoppers arrived at Harrods driving something a little more spacious than the usual.
Shoppers in upmarket Knightsbridge, London, looked on in disbelief yesterday afternoon when two men pulled up at Harrods in this outrageous stretched Ferrari.
With no bay in the area suitable for a vehicle of such length, the car simply stopped on double yellow lines at the front of the store.
The limousine is a one-off, made by a developer in the UK by cutting a regular Ferrari 360 Modena in half and adding some seats in the middle.
It is the fastest limousine in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 166mph and is estimated to cost as much as £250,000.
It is likely the car was not owned by the male driver but hired specially for the occasion from an elite hire company.
The limo was designed by Dan Cawley, a Manchester-based businessman who owns hire company Style Limousines.
Mr Cawley, who has sold the car to another rental company, told the Mail: 'Every boy wants to get into a Ferrari, this was a way for people to be able to do that with seven mates. It's the biggest and craziest vehicle you can get. We made it because we wanted to create the ultimate Ferrari experience.'
He added: 'There's room for eight people – so you can get plenty of shopping bags in there.'
