Volvo S80 Stretch Limo Spied
I-Roll 80′s style.
By Gunnar Heinrich
UNLESS you’re a head of state or just heading out to a party with twenty of your closest mates, there’s no real cause for a strech limo. In fact, most self-respecting clubbers looking to splurge are much more inclined to play the old telephone booth game in the back of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
I’ve seen it happen in Miami and it sure wasn’t pretty…but maybe just a little compelling?
Anyway, someone across the Pond didn’t get the memo that stretch limos went out some time between 1997 and 1998. Nor the aspect that Volvos S80s do not elongate prettily.
Ah well, it’s prettier than a 40′ Hummer H2 on 22′s. Or an old 740 stretch for that matter.

I think you are wrong. Indeed I am trying to get a new S80 one right now. I think it looks good but will need interior modifications.

I agree with Lan. It looks good. Some interior modifications there would be no more.
