Footage of world’s longest car leaves everyone asking the same question

This super stretch limo can fit up to 75 passengers.

Anytime we see a stretch limousine driving around a city there's part of us that thinks, 'What a daft vehicle' - but they've got nothing on the official 'World's Longest Car'.

This massive limo was restored after falling into disrepair, and in 2022 was crowned by Guinness as its official record holder.

It's a staggering 100.1 feet long, and based on the fused skeletons of multiple Cadillac Eldorados, with 26 wheels and capacity for a staggering 75 passengers.

The car is nicknamed 'The American Dream', which seems like a really good fit, and can be visited and viewed at Dezerland Park in Orlando, Florida - but a Guinness World Records video showcases it brilliantly.

You can't get bored in this car - there's a hot tub in the back as well as a putting green, but even more amazingly it also features a small helipad.

However, its restorers completely admit that it's a wildly impractical vehicle - for one thing, it's so long that routes need to be planned very carefully if it's driving anywhere.

It's got everyone rushing to the comments section to say the same thing - that this would be one impossible car to park.

One really popular comment under the video - racking up over a thousand likes - said: "Mad respect to anyone who can parallel park that thing."

It's not just parking, though - even regular driving would be hugely challenging, since the turning circle of The American Dream is ridiculously massive. As another comment observed: "Even though it's difficult to do, I'd still like to see some footage of the vehicle making a wide turn."

This is something the video sadly doesn't feature, but there are plenty of lovely details in there nonetheless.

The original design was actually built in the 1980s and held the world record back then, before it was abandoned due to the challenge of upkeep and maintenance.

When its current owners found it, the car was pretty much scrap, with no floor and a ridiculous amount of rust and damage, meaning it had to be almost totally rebuilt.

Some parts of the original were lost forever, and the restoration took about two-and-half years, such was the scale of the work required.

Now it's finished and looking loud and proud - hopefully, it doesn't fall off the grid again at any point.
