One of the “cars” put up for auction attracted attention because of its appearance which resembled an airplane. Those who imagine so are not at all wrong. The Limojet, also known as the Liermosine, is actually an aircraft with its wings removed and converted into an 8-seat limousine.
With a length of up to approximately 13 metres, the Limojet is a small aircraft originally manufactured by Learjet.
But after 12 years of research and development at a cost of USD 1 million, the plane has become a car on the road and has been auctioned with prices starting at USD 100,000.
The Limojet uses a steel frame and retains most of the aircraft’s original aluminum body. This wing has been “dropped” to make it easier to ride on the road. The rear wing has been retained to give a slight “flying” feeling. For maximum convenience, the rear of the vehicle can be folded inwards to allow the vehicle to fit into tight spaces. 28-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Kumho tires with special fenders
The body of the car was recently painted in two colors of black and silver, with only a few red details added. Earlier, the car was painted red all over including the wheels
From the inside, the Limojet looks like a party car. The Limojet 8 is equipped with black diamond-patterned leather seats, subwoofer, 42-inch TV, fun disco floor, refreshment counter and cup holders.
The cockpit of the car has a car-like instrument cluster, 4 screens on the dashboard which are connected to the front and rear cameras of the car. The negative point is that there is no partition between the “party” and the cockpit
The massive rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission is powered by a 6.1L Chevrolet V8 truck engine that produces 400 horsepower and a top speed of 161 km/h. There is no need to worry about this engine getting ruined at all, as the car is allowed to be driven on residential roads
It can be said that the Liermosin is the world’s first and only legal road aircraft so far. However, the current car is for display purposes only
The Goldin auction house describes: “This product is the pinnacle of Limousine village.” However, no one has bid on the car yet, even though a Chevrolet pickup truck and an Iron Bull trailer are attached to transport the car.
