Audi R8 V10 Falls Victim to the Stretch Limousine Industry

From the creators of the Ferrari 360 stretch limo comes yet another controversial supercar conversion, this time based on the Audi R8 V10.

Carbonyte UK will work in conjunction with Limo Broker to create the world's first super-stretched R8 and which it says is destined to become the signature model for the Limo Broker brand that also owns the Ferrari 360 Modena limousine.

The British company said that work on the Audi R8 V10-based model has already commenced with the launch expected to take place by the end of summer 2012.

In the meantime, Limo Broker's released the design renderings and a virtual video that outlines the concept behind the limo, while also providing an impression of how the finished vehicle will look like.

The limousine will be able to seat up to eight people and will retain the production sports car's 5.2-liter V10 engine with 528bhp.

Scroll down for a video and pictures of both the Audi R8 and Ferrari 360 limousines.
