Taking stretch too far

QUOTE:

"This is, believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a

23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing

doors we've ever seen.

It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more

than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.

All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race

harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the

3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in

under six seconds. Could prove a challenge not to spill your cheap

champagne.

Those gullwing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the

teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.

If you really, really feel the need to see the stretch Ferrari in the

flesh, it'll be debuting at the European Limousine & Chauffeur show this

weekend alongside Europe's biggest stretch Hummer."

how the hell do you spend 200,000 pounds sterling modifying it?

quite easily i reckon if all the seats were bucket seats with harnesses, the hour of labour would be massive, then they prob used carbon fibre or some kind of high strenght light wieght material which would cost a fortune....list goes on, it would add up!

i reckon it looks awesome, would be funny to see it do a hotlap of a race track....just don't try and cruise around monaco in it! :P

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
