Mmm, tasteful: it's the world's longest Ferrari
Who needs Frankfurt when there's a gem like this on your doorstep? This is, believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a 23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing doors we've ever seen.
It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.
All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the 3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in under six seconds. Could prove a challenge not to spill your cheap champagne.
Those gullwing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.
If you really, really feel the need to see the stretch Ferrari in the flesh, it'll be debuting at the European Limousine & Chauffeur show this weekend alongside Europe's biggest stretch Hummer (classy) and an array of scantily clad 'limo girls' (even classier).
As we said, who needs Frankfurt?
