\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Open scene, a Don Johnson-esque character wearing a t-shirt under a sports coat pours glass after glass of bubbling champagne for a\u00a0limousine\u00a0full of\u00a0glamorous\u00a0characters adorned in all manner of cocktail dress\u00a0appropriate\u00a0for the time. \u00a0While this may have at one time been the image conjured upon hearing the word “limousine”, nowadays we tend to think of\u00a0bachelor\u00a0and bachelorette parties, prom details, and maybe the rare night out with friends when an on board bar and a chauffeur\u00a0just seem like the best way to go.<\/p>\n

In the 1980s and early 1990s the stretched limousine was at an all time cultural high. \u00a0One\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0pass more than three television\u00a0channels\u00a0without stumbling upon a scene detailing a ritzy party taking place within the back of a limo. \u00a0After a\u00a0brief\u00a0slump in the mid 1990s, the “Limo” concept was reinvigorated by approaching it from unexpected angles. \u00a0Of course the most obvious and visible example would be the stretched white Hummer, with various other stretched vehicles debuting here and there to\u00a0varying\u00a0levels of success and popularity. \u00a0When Audi introduced it’s R8 road car in 2006, a car built with the race track in mind(as opposed to champagne pouring), I don’t think that this is quite what they had in mind.<\/p>\n

Using high performance sport vehicles such as the Audi R8 as the next gen platform for the stretched limousine may be the way to usher the cultural phenomenon into the future, or at least the good people at the British\u00a0couch builder\u00a0Carbonyte seem to think so. \u00a0Carbonyte has attempted to create stretched limos out of supercar bases such as the Bugatti Veyron and the Ferrari 360 Modena in the past, but it looks like this time the funding and interest is secured, with the completed stretched Audi R8 Limo due out this summer.<\/p>\n

Phoenix being the sprawling driving city that it is, limos are sometimes a nice alternative to a set of\u00a0separate\u00a0taxies or designated drivers, thus the\u00a0business\u00a0here is booming more than it is elsewhere. \u00a0This means that Phoenix Valley residents have a fairly high likelihood at having the chance to reserve the use of a stretched Audi R8 as soon as they hit North American shores. \u00a0Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can also take a look at the original regular sized Audi R8 at their local Phoenix Valley Audi dealer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High performance sport cars such as the Audi R8 serving as the next gen platform for the stretched limousine\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":{"0":"post-2339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-auto-news","8":"tag-featured","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nAudi R8 Stretched Beyond Recognition<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Audi R8 Stretched Limo Limousine Sports Super Car Carbonyte Veyron Ferrari Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/audi-r8-stretched-beyond-recognition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Audi R8 Stretched Beyond Recognition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Audi R8 Stretched Limo Limousine Sports Super Car Carbonyte Veyron Ferrari Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/audi-r8-stretched-beyond-recognition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
