How will you know that a celebrity is approaching during a red-carpet premiere? When a limousine’s in view. That’s how stars make an elegant entrance—stepping out from a stretch limo and getting down to a crowd of reporters and fans. Limos make the scene even more brighter for them, and the luxurious feel these cars give make them even more like a star.
It’s hard to explain how limousines got the tag of being the most luxurious cars, but back when it was first introduced in 1902, they didn’t actually carry that description by default. They were designed like such so the driver can drive outside under a covered compartment. It was named after the region Limousin where shepherds wore a cloak with a raised hood that looked like the covered compartment of the first limos.
Limousines are also especially designed so the chauffeur couldn’t hear what the passengers are talking about—a good way to keep some private matters really private. Everyone knows limousines do not take the usual car size. As their name suggests, they are “stretched,” though they are originally just a sedan. But this list is not probably a common knowledge, because in here, we named the ten of the biggest limousines of all time. Time to know what are the most stretched stretch limousines in world history.
10. Corvette Limousine
Stretched seven meters long, this is the longest Corvette limousine. Just like any other luxurious limo, it has inside it a disco bar, fireplace, stuff to play music with, and many more. It took its makers eight months to complete it.
9. Mini Cooper S Limo
With a size that is the same as a regular bus, this Mini Cooper S Limo measures 27 feet. It runs on six wheels and houses television screens, DVD players, neon lights, and disco balls.
8. Pink Hummer Limo
What’s more appealing than a long, pink car? This Hummer limo is surely eye-catching. It just does not have the usual disco lights and floor, it has three televisions inside, laser lights, strobes, 1,800-watt sound system, optic lights, pink leather interior, and 22-inch Chrome alloy wheels. It is available for rent, so if you’re planning for a night-out with your girls, it’s time to take a ride on this.

5. Lada Limo
If you are looking for a limousine that isn’t that money-draining, then this Lada is the perfect choice. As Ladas have been known to be economic on fuel, having a Lada limo is a pretty practical idea. But unlike other limos, this doesn’t have the trunk size it could boast. Nevertheless, those who do not want to spend much on a supposed-to-be-luxurious ride will be vying for this.
4. Midnight Rider
This limo is not your ordinary dude. It holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the heaviest limo ever made. It weighs 22,933 kgs and is 70-foot long and 13-foot wide. It was designed by American designers Pamela Bartholemew and Michael Machado. Midnight Rider is a good but quite strange name, but before you make up your own story behind it, you have to know that its horn plays the theme song from the film Midnight Rider, so that’s why it’s named like that.
3. Colossus Limo
Built by the company that rents out the biggest limos, the Colossus Limo is touted as the biggest and most luxurious limo in the world.

1. American Dream
Judging by its name, you sure know where this topic is heading to. Expanding 30.5 meters, Jay Ohrberg‘s dream is materialized in this limo he designed. Even Guinness Book of World Record didn’t miss the sight of this car as they named it the longest car in the world. It runs on twenty-six wheels and features a king-sized waterbed, swimming pool with a diving board, Jacuzzi tub, sun deck, and a helipad. And it’s noteworthy that it can actually be bent in the middle when going around corners. James Bond seriously has to feature this in his next movie. This is as great as his 007 stunts.
