In 2018, the luxury Learjet-based luxury transport was finished.
The Limojet was first showcased in 2018 shortly after its incredible builders had completed the project. The Limo-Jet is based on a Learjet fuselage and features custom tube-frame construction, an 8.1-liter GMV8 engine, luxurious seating, and a neon-hued interior. The Limo-Jet will be auctioned at Mecum Indy 2020. We wouldn’t be surprised if bidders sunk well into the six-figures to get it – there’s no pilot license.
To better withstand road hazards, the aluminum Learjet body had to be strengthened with steel structures and chassis. The Limo-Jet is more than 11,000 pounds due to all the metalwork and the large V8 and 28-inch wheels. Although it’s not unusual for luxury people movers, this makes us a little more optimistic about the Limo-Jet’s braking abilities than the discs and brightly colored calipers.
The interior can be accessed via a clamshell stairway, which is moved to the port side for curbside loading/unloading. The roadbound jet’s driver is seated behind a gauge cluster with steering wheel and a mid-2000s GM truck while passengers are seated on a bench seat with safety belts that faces the side. Although the advertisement claims there is room for 18 people, we don’t think there is any additional seating.
The Limo-Jet stands out from the rest with its extensive range of sound and lighting equipment, which includes a trick infinity-floor. For example, the entire rear wall is covered in a flat-panel TV screen. The Learjet does not hide the sound system’s amplifiers, but makes them an integral part of the design. The exterior also has marine-grade speakers, with one set located under each tailfin and the other in the binnacles at the rear wheels. For those who wish to immerse themselves in their private-plane illusion, speakers mounted in the ” turbo” Nacelles can also play sound effects from jet engines. With a slew of cameras, the pilot is not left out of all the action.
The Limo-Jet will be available for purchase at Mecum Indy 2020. It will also come with a custom-built trailer and a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD for easy transportation. We’d prefer to fly the Learjet four-wheeler than to tow it around to events and shows. It is hard to estimate its value. Although its creators had estimated a cost of seven figures for its construction, luxury limousine buyers tend to shop at much lower prices. We’d be shocked if this thing sold for less than $200,000
