I suspect that what you posted is a photo-illustration created with Adobe Photoshop or similar.

It is being shown on Dubai Motorshow, that I visited today

Interesting to see the beltline and bumper chrome trim blacked out to match the body.

Great photos - thanks for taking them and posting them. The light wood floor is a nice touch - it looks a bit like a yacht.

Michael

There was a 15 or 17" LCD drop screen mounted on the ceiling for the forward facing passangers and in between the headrest of the rear bench, there was another car DVD player with pop-up screen (dashboard size) for the backward facing passangers.

There was foot ambience lighting in the floor, but I didn't noticed the fridge if it was there or not (propably yes).

I have some more pictures, more or less showing the same, but I'll post them later on today or tomorrow, anyway.

If you're interested for comparision pourposes, I can post also pictures of a couple of new S-class stretch limos.

Watchout Maybach,RR,etc

Michael you should you start a new thread on this & title it Phaeton Limousine By VW Individual

Volkswagen News Blog

Why? My thread isn't good enough for you? Just kidding

Highline, thanks so much for sharing those photos along with the info on the unique features. This is exactly what I'm lookng for I'm looking to see more photos of this stretched beauty

Do you mean the various photo-illustrations and design studies? I think that the 'real thing' (the photos that Highline posted) are much nicer, but I suppose the photo-illustrations have their purpose in life - they give people a chance to sort of 'think out loud' about what different ideas would look like.

I have noticed that the more experienced (responsible) designers usually put their name or logo somewhere on the photo-illustration - this is generally the tip-off that it is a photo-illustration / design study rather than an actual photo.

The driver's "compartment":

The center (wood) console:

Very crowdy there, everybody's trying to take a pick inside:

... and this is what they see:

... and OUT

The real thing is so much better,you must realize I'm a Perfectionist much like VW with the P, although not with the SatNav from what I've heard that's why I wanted another forum but have changed my mind.

Thanks for the extra pics Highline.

I am pro-VW but at a certain price, I hop on my cousin, Audi.

Michael

There was a A8L W12 just meters away on the Audi stand. Beige on Beige; GORGEOUS But the price is very high.

While there are way more A8 then Phaetons overhere, I can't say that there are more W12 model Audis then VW.

However, Mercedes and BMWs V6, V8 or V12 are in WAY much higher numbers then the A8 + Phaeton combined.

I think using the rear doors of a LWB model would have been more apropriate.

Sorry I didn't took any picture but it is a 3 door GTI stripped of everything; from the rear seats to the interiour trims. The car is prepared by the local VW dealer and they can convert any GTI for a price of around $8,000.

Cool thanks for details, also did they have a price on the Limo or is it just a show car.
