Here are the rules. It must be a car. Not a truck. Not a SUV. Not a crossover. Not a minivan. Furthermore, no chauffeur-specials. Long wheelbase editions of cars like the A8 are okay, because they still aren’t primarily designed to chauffeur. That means no Bentley Mulsanne, no S600 Maybach, etc. I’m pretty sure the longest American car is the Lincoln MKS at a (stunning) 205.6", so let’s see.

Rolls Royce Phantom LWB at 239.8 inches.

Yeah, that’s pretty much directly in the chauffeur category, so it doesn’t count.

‘77 Lincoln Continental at 233"
I’m sure there’s longer though, that was just the first thing that came to mind.

The current S class is 206.5" long

Brabus Rocket 900? It’s TECHNICALLY a Mercedes-Maybach, but I really don’t think it’s made for chauffeur purposes.

Rolls Royce drophead coupe - 220"
And if you want to be pedantic, then here’s the list of longest cars on sale right now.
A8L, S600 LWB, and Chevrolt Caprice/SS all out length the MKS

See my other answer then.
![]() 01/19/2016 at 16:55 |

Hmm well it was certainly originally made for chauffeur purposes, but then was un-purposed by Brabus. I still don’t think it should count...

THE CAPRICE/ SS IS LONGER THAN 205.6 INCHES?

Chevy SS length is 195.5 that’s all I know.

Well the new BMW 7 series long wheel base is 206.2 in in length and the current gen A8 is 207.4 in when in A8L configuration.
Also I know you said car, but seeing how many people seem to confuse them for normal cars the current Gen suburban/yukon(xl) are 224.4 in in length.
edit: Did not read your whole post.. but still leaving this here.

Well, you said no trucks, minivans, or chauffeur cars, but you never said no cargo vans.

had the pleasure of riding around in one of these over the holidays. it was like sitting inside liberace’s piano.
and made my car feel like a mini.
![]() 01/19/2016 at 17:11 |

I think only the Caprice is longer. IIRC, the Caprice has an extended wheelbase to make it easier to manhandle perps into the back seat.
01/19/2016 at 17:16 |
|
I’m not sure if the long wheelbase Ssangyong Chairman W would be counted as chauffeur special but at 213 inches it is quite long.
