Also known as a Learjet limousine, it represents a fusion of the limousine body with the iconic design of a Learjet aircraft, offering a unique luxury experience for passengers during special events, parties, and VIP transportation.
Conceived by Dan Harris of Bend, Oregon, this distinctive vehicle underwent over 40,000 man-hours of work. Originally a king of the skies, the Limo-Jet emerged through the meticulous combination of a Learjet fuselage with a custom steel skeletal frame. The extensive two-year process involved research, design, and development, including the creation of patent-pending features such as the rear engine bay, drivetrain, suspension, and computer systems.
Featuring foldable tail plane tips for maneuvering in tight spaces, the Limo-Jet boasts jet engine nacelles with massive speakers producing realistic sound effects. Its power comes from an 8.1L Chevrolet Vortec V-8, 400 HP truck engine mounted deep in the chassis, rolling on custom 28-inch red and black Diablo wheels with Kumho 325/25R28 tires. Hydro-boosted brakes ensure controlled speeds.
The driver’s cockpit showcases a deep bucket seat with harness, red carbon-fiber-look trim, and four screens for external cameras. Interior toggles control various effects, including the Showtime Audio 17,000-watt audio/visual system featuring a 42-inch plasma TV, multiple light panels, and an abundance of speakers both inside and outside the vehicle.
