How Limos Are Made
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2025
- Building limousines is an elaborate and detailed process. Production begins with an ordinary car being sawed in half. Long steel beams connect the two sections before an outer frame is attached. Once complete, the interior is decked out with disco lights and leather upholstery so you are comfortable during your next party. Here's an inside look at how limousines are made.

Perfect , now I will make my own limo 👌👌
exactly

Good luck...
You sound cringey to do it
I subscribed, waiting for your good news!
Toy??
I SAWED THIS CAR IN HALF AND TURNED IT INTO A LIMO WITH ONLY FLEX TAPE.

I knew it. Even as a child somewhere in my heart I knew this was how it was done .
Axure Synopsis you were probably a weird child
Aunnas Saeed yes that's exactly what I was thinking XD
I thought they stretched the car. I was like 7 when I thought about that.
I thought they cut a car in half then make this long thing to attach to the car
That car fooled my whole life
Whole life 🤔
Now you are dead😂
That pretty much summarised so call “rich & luxury” of the West…
as simple as.. “ok cut the car in half and move the backside right just aboouuuttt... here”

Yeah bout a week before it sags. What a POS build. Bubble level, can't be bothered to make a jig.
It sound like something Tesla would make
@@justasking2171 tesla would spend 40 million for robots to do it and then scrap it for angle grinders becauase elon didnt like the color of the robots.

For me it's *STRETCH*

Anyone here remember Vice City
Yep 😁

Lmao yeah I played it on mobile lmao

Limo's are dying out. Even famous people just get driven around in large SUV's nowadays.
yeah because limos are not that safe
Try driving that across a railroad crossing
yeah I know. I still love the old lincoln town car from the 1990's
Famous people don’t use limos!
They’re used mostly by boyfriends trying to impress their prom dates!
Calling it luxury. Might be stretching it.
Alex McKoy It got stretched alright...
Bu dum tiss
Oh god
Alex McKoy ur so punny. I agree tho. A cheap Chrysler
Hahahahahahhahahahah - STFU
Looks cheap . I thought Limousines were luxurious...
New Memer they ***look*** luxurious.
If you are skilled,then you can make a more luxurious one : )
and also the limousine shown here looks luxurious
New Memer Just like Apple products
LoneWolf Dustin I can make a more luxurious one . Just give me the same tools as them . Meanwhile i don't even have a screwdriver
I always used to think auto manufacturers had special limousine versions of their cars made to order, which is why I assumed they'd be so expensive and far and few between. Never did I think it'd be so relatively simple as just taking one car and cutting it in half before adding to the middle of it. It honestly makes it feel less durable than it was originally engineered to be, especially when most of it's a weld job.
welding on a painted surface. nice
Cameron Martin They sanded at least a half inch in.
If ur using a really powerful welder it can actually melt that car paint it's uv procted bot heat proof
We have a pro here lmao
How to take a $40k car; add another $40k of parts and labor and end up with a car now worth $20k.
Arne Asada wen they make the few a 100 thousand dollars of that car it will all be worth it
That moment you realize a brand new Chrysler 300 (car in video) costs less than 30k.
Arne Asada .
Arne Asada which cave do you live in? First of all thats around $20K regular car and a brand new Limo will cost atleast minimum of $75 grand..
Yeah but the car makes money every time its driven. Vs a car that is driven for pleasure. Spend money to make money.
Will it drift?
Nicky Aldyano yes but it will flip over
Nicky Aldyano XD but will it snap in half
In Grand Theft Auto this Drift
Will it corner?
Nicky Aldyano yea
I used to work at Executive Coach. Few different departments. And i can tell ya there is much more intricacy to a full build. Its really neat
I CUT THIS CAR IN HALF. LOOK AT ALL THAT DAMAGE!!!
TheDeathDragon they should’ve used the tape instead of welding it lol
I SAWED THIS CAR IN HALF!
And turned it into a limousine using only Flex Tape.
Imagine what other things you could do with the power of Flex Tape!
LOL
u need Flex Tape
No problem, Flex Tape can solve it
This reminds me of the Top Gear episode where Jeremy, Richard and James made their own limousines.
Man of culture, I see
Side impact crash will be deadly
It has crash bars built into the sides. You fail
Amit Mangat actually the extended area is usually stronger than the original frame
Did you not see the big side impact hoop that was in the side panel? Going up and down and one from front to back. Just like any other car on the road just bigger in this one cuz the length of it. You don't think that the government hasn't made them crash test these things and charge them out the ass to have all that stuff permitted and all that? Plus in. Limo you don't have seat belts so there is a level of danger no matter what so don't be a scared lil baby, people die no mater how safe we make things.
@jdm Tuners So are spelling lessons apparently!
Probably would be fatal in a normal car if you were hit by a school bus or semi. Don't keep worrying about the 'what-ifs' and worry about not pulling out in front of traffic!
That’s incredibly unsafe
How?
I was thinking the same. The welding points look extremely poor in quality and do not look sturdy at all (I may be wrong here, but feel free to correct me). If this is how they build it, people should run the other way.
Parents sending their kids on Prom nights in one of these should 100% watch this video.
Yep
only if your driver can't drive
@@AlineaEuros what about other drivers on the roads? you might have best driver but you might crash with other drunk driver
2:06 when they put in the side post, all I could think of was, what if another car hit it right there on the side in an accident. The other vehicle would rip right through that and kill anyone on the other side! These guys have got to go back to the drawing board!!!
So you didnt hear or see that part at 2.39 about the crashbar in the side i geus? XD
They didn't invent the concept have you never heard of a stretch limousine this is how they're all made
@@marloesbalk5158 i wana see the crash test reports. thatll still be the weakest part of the car they compromised the structural integrity heavily.
@@marloesbalk5158 every vehicule has crashbars,its still insecure
Here after reading about the limo crash in upstate NY. I’m shocked at how little (if any) safety features there are. I didn’t realize that limos are all just modded cars not at all designed to carry the load of the extra structure let alone so many passengers.
I live real close to that site and it is horrific just driving down that hill knowing what happened at the bottom!
its like the cheapest limo ever
Whateverman
Op, it's damn chrysler 300 what do you expect
Can you not be like so negative? I think it looks good, but that's everyone's opinion-:(
@@kokomiisjoke9594 no we have to
Buyer “What’s the limo made from?”
Worker “Steel steel steel and more steel”
And just a bit of leather.
I was actually appalled at how little steel goes into it. Better not get into a side impact car crash.
+Maarten van Heek Yeah or any other crash the strecthed section will act like stepping on a Cola can ...and those workers man they didnt even remove the paint at the welding spots
Galvanized steel actually😄😄
@@peterzingler6221 no need to do that, they applied vinyl!
Of course I'm joking
Am i the only one that thought that limo's where made like regular cars by the manufacturer
In the Old Days, they were! Packard, Imperial, Lincoln and Cadillac, all used to make their own Limousines, or have Professional Coachbuilders do the work. these People... I have no words.
I thought the same thing like you
Since the car is cut in half I feel like the car would just fall apart.
Mercedes currently make the limo in the factory however they have only made the current generation and the 600 Pullman in the factory.
Nikolaus Bautista are professionals coach builders
This is pretty cool. Had no idea they were built this way. :)
It doesn't look nearly as a as normal car. A side hit from a truck or even an SUV would just kill everyone in its way. Don't know how a thing like that is even legal.
Flying Nihilist fail
Flying Nihilist win
sidehit from the truck will kill everyone in a regular limo too
try doing a 1 minute google search before you spout nonsense. it's as safe as any other car.
@@fregus. hardly
Thanks for the tutorial! Now I am going to make my own limo
Welding galvanized? Without a respirator? Must be outside the states...
KFStreich I don’t think it’s galvanized. They may have said that but any welder knows that that shit will kill you if you weld it without protection
KFStreich galvanized is light gray in color
No, the company it's based in Missouri.
And welding without removing the paint 😂
@@josephduarte1034 At 1:47 and 2:22 it clearly states that galvanized steel is used.
its look so luxurious as much as its so cheap construction process.
i guess thats how they make the hummer limos too
Nacho TV now that one to hummers crash into each other head first and the duceyness of the owners are combined into one super dirtbag and the cars is transformed into worthless garbage impractical for the most basic of tasks
Definetly
Nacho TV General Motors stopped making Hummers in 2010.
Nacho TV ye exacly and the ferarri limo as well
Just extending the monocoque structure with thin steel ? Surely this needs more reinforcement to be safe !!!!
To show you the power of Flex Tape... *I sawed this car in half!*
you mean you seen it...
This is information you need, but never knew you needed.
now turn a Honda Civic into a limo and see how much more fancy it becomes
AYU vtec si or a regular?
AYU it will be fast with the vtec omg a super car limo
Or a first generation fiat Panda
Sb Photos & more boy a civic will never be a super car
Make sure to put all lot of stickers. Stickers = horsepower
It's informative for me.
Before watching this video, I thought that Limousine are produced like regular cars by manufacturer. 😁
It's the How It's Made voice
Nathan Gibson I thought a man narrated that show?
There's a handful of different narrators
That's because it is How it's made. This is an old video that Tech Insider just put their name on and reposted.
THATS MY GIRL FROM HOW ITS MADE
nice

Why did Business Insider take a clip from the Science Channel?
Bro to get money
They lazy
this video was totally a new informative one for me...i NEVER knew how limos were made...finally peace✌
Never understood why limo interiors are always so tacky. Everything looks like a cheapass sofa found in a karaoke room.
Huh? Every Insider or Inside edition vid, people say ugly, cheap, rude. It's your opinion but you don't have to be like super negative!
@@kokomiisjoke9594 They aren’t criticizing Insider, they’re criticizing the limo industry
@@kokomiisjoke9594 no
the outside may be cheap but damn! the inside is so cozy!
Its like: " Cut your freking car in half and you have limo! Just put some metals in the middle and you are ready!"
They really stretched this story to the max!
I've never been in a limo, and after watching this, I never will!
What about the driveshaft en brakelines etc? Thats the most intresting part to know
After market rims make it worse than it already is
what about the prop shaft, brake pipes, handbrake cables, electrics etc etc ???
0:35 “The car is now completely cut in half.” That’s something you don’t hear every day. 🙃
Very nice and important and informative video.. good pls keep uploading new things.
Do these stretch limos have any NHTSA standards or inspections?
They still have to meet D.O.T. standards.
I thought they came out the factory as a limo. You learn something new everyday.
The middle of the limo is not safe there's absolutely no reinforcement in the middle of the limo
that is true. they are reconstructed vehicles so it's up to the states dmv to allow them to be licensed for the road. in most situations they only look for trivial stuff, i.e. lights, bumpers, that meet safety standards.
Do they install a separate hvac system? Cause that stock heater core and AC system is not large enough for the addition.
i read title as how lmaos are made. lmao
lmao
You just made a LMAO 🤣
LMAO
l m a o
Lmao is made by ayylmao inc
Beautiful!! Now I know how to make my own limo.
There's a terrible mistake here: they forgot the swimming pool!
And it can't install here!
You need a bigger one
This ain’t even boring this is interesting
Now add 4 inch armor plating on all sides and 4 inch thick bulletproof windows with a reinforced truck bed and driveshaftand you've got a indestructible car
just if you go over a dirt hill you will get stuck
Can we get 1000 subscribers with no videos? Good point.
I think that's how the presidents limos are made.
nope it will just bend in the middle by weight
No. You will have a four-wheeled banana, that is immobile....
You guys make beautiful cars
I like how it takes 21 days to build a limo and then yet it takes me 23 days to receive my computer
Really good work.
And for the final step, we add a set of hideous wheels.
Limousine car is always best in the world
When he checks the bar from the bottom to the top. It says he checks to make sure its perfectly level. Which is fine accept 1 tiny problem... it wasn’t level
The car GREW!!
Crash test it
Is the suspension upgraded, to support the additional weight?
Those rims.🤢
At the bottom I'd use a boxed tube and build a structure that would stand up to a semi truck side impact. Contact cement is for countertops I'd use the red glue that most RV manufacturers use but that me I'd also install a fire suppression system if passengers were stuck in a crash
А я то наивный думал, что на специальном стенде, чтобы не нарушить геометрию кузова. А тут всё на коленке. По колхозному...
When are the installing the drive shaft and upgrading the suspension?
So basicly:
1. Pick a car
2. Bring the saw
3. cut the car
4.cut up some other car
5. Weld that bit*h together
they don’t cut up “some other car” they just use sheet metal in between the front and the back
That long drive shaft on that chrysler 3.6 vvt is a deathwish
I thought they used flex tape
Good job for these guys! 👌😊
Just buy a pullman or a maybach
@Nostalgie عندی
Wow...looks much more simple than I thought.
This is cool crasftsmamship, but limos are trashy. I never assume its a fancy important person, i assume its a skinny white kid in a Monster energy drink shirt with his girlfriend with blue hair that has 2 inch long brown roots in cutoff denim shorts and a walmart skull t shirt.
huh
me in a nutshell. i live an ordinary life
Yup, yesterday these limos; today black Chevy suburban type suv with all darkened windows.
Very specific...
or in shitty black hiphop video clips
Downwardly Creative!
'Cutting Wheel'
Can we get 1000 subscribers with no videos? A wheel that cuts.
Also I don’t think you can get 1000 subscribers with no videos
well i have got over 100 and other people got more then 1000 so i think i can
The ost custom builders use a plasma torch
Engine...transmission? Stock? Worked? Seems like all the extra heft would require a little tweak to both components.
How to mess with turning radius
Simple and perfect
And yet after all that work still a 300 cheap piece of crap Chrysler.
very best keep it up 😊😀😎
Cool, can you make my car into a limo?
Bro why would u do that
Jongwon Park The real question is, Why wouldn't you do that?
They really know what they do, well done Ma Men.
Why don’t they just order an “empty” vehicle so they don’t have to remove all the components?
Greg Caesar because they still need most of the interior
Because manufactors dont provide empty cars and they use used cars not new ones
This is seriously awesome. I'm going to make one.
My life is a lie
Don’t worry. Limos are made the same way as other cars from factories. This video was a car modification video
@@memberofthelegion5626 - Relatively few limos are still factory built most are stretched by aftermarket builders
Muantap tenan iki,🙏🙏🙏
No more luxurious limousines, it’s now lying limousines
Nothing was said about the undercarriage of the car, how do they extend it? A massive drive shaft I'm assuming?
Me no likey🤐
Awesome job man love it Ali Boy from General Motor UAE 😁🌹🌹👌
Looks easy 👌
This is so cool!
Very nice beautiful Work
superbly design
had this on mind
Really Amazing, good job 👍🏻
