The Longest Cars Ever Made

The Longest Cars Ever Made

Cars are usually made to fit within a single, standard-length driveway. Not these behemoths! You'll need at least 16 feet of space just to park one of these looooong cars in your driveway. Here are the longest cars ever made—some are still in production today! Please note that this list excludes Formula 1 cars and limousines.

2022 Pagani Codalunga

Not exactly well-known for shorter supercars, the 2022 Pagani Codalunga surprised everyone as Pagani's longest production vehicle to date: a stunning 16.1 feet long, it has a top speed of an astonishing 238 miles per hour. You're better off driving it in a straight line just about anywhere.

1967 Toyota Century

At 16 feet, four inches long, the 1967 Toyota Century was designed to be driven by a chauffeur, leaving plenty of legroom for rear passengers. The Century model was released to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota.

2018 McLaren Speedtail

This limited-production hybrid supercar was released by McLaren in 2018 and is the second-longest supercar ever built, at 16.85 feet. With a power output of over 1,000 horsepower (from an electric motor, no less), this beast has some serious bite. While you won't be driving your McLaren Speedtail in any sort of built-up location, as it's a supercar that requires a lot of space, you can be guaranteed endless fun hitting top speeds of 250 mph!

2004 Maserati MC-12

The longest production supercar ever made, the 2004 Maserati MC-12 was mostly designed to go fast in a straight line. At 202.5 inches (16.87 feet) this extra-length supercar produced an astonishing 624 horsepower and could run at a top speed of 205 mph—good luck with the sharp turns, though. Also, parallel parking. Don't want to scratch the paint off this $726,000 supercar.

1978 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2

The Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2 was based on the 1924 Lagonda but featured an updated shape (wedge-like, just like most cars in the late 1970s), better aerodynamics, and electronic switches and gearing. The 1978 Lagonda Series 2 was also 17 feet, three inches long. As far as Aston Martins go, the thing was ugly and must have been like driving a big, ugly boat.

2023 NAMI Aurus Komendant

A car whose production has been pushed back twice in as many years, 2023 was the year that the NAMI Aurus Komendant finally got off the ground. This luxury SUV is produced in Russia exclusively and not sold outside of the country. The Komendant is an impressive 211 inches long, or 17.5 feet, bested only by its car-like compatriot, the Aurus Senat. The inaugural ride in the Komendant was given to President Vladimir Putin in 2018, when the car was still a prototype model.

1953 Kaiser Manhattan

The 1953 Kaiser Manhattan, built by Kaiser Motors (based in Michigan), was marketed as the "World's First Safety Car", mostly due to its large windscreen and bright headlights for nighttime driving. Unfortunately, as the thing was 17 feet, seven inches long, it mightn't have been too safe when parallel parking. Only 4,109 of these behemoths were built before Kaiser folded as a company.

2022 BMW 7 Series G70

Built as a competitor to the Genesis G90 and Audi A8, among others, the G70 comes in both gasoline and diesel models, as well as offering both a mild hybrid powertrain and a plug-in hybrid option. But the electrification options of the G70 don't mean a reduction in power to any great detriment, offering 544 horsepower and a top speed of 155 mph. As for length, the 7 Series G70 are all 212.2 inches, or 17.6 feet long.

2022 Audi A8 L Horch

The 2022 Audi A8 L Horch was offered as a long wheelbase to the previously launched luxury Audi A8. Sitting at 17.79 feet long, the A8 L Horch gives up nothing in power terms with both a V6 plug-in hybrid model available and a V8 mild hybrid version. Each is capable of producing 335 and 563 horsepower, respectively, and with a top of 155 mph.

2022 Genesis G90 L

The Genesis G90 L was one of the luxury cars of the year in 2022. Built by Hyundai as a successor to the Hyundai Equus (sorry Daniel Radcliffe), the Genesis G90 was released in two models: a general model and a long wheelbase model. The 'L' is the latter model and is an astounding 17.9 feet long.

1928 Opel Regent

Produced by German car manufacturer Opel, the Regent was an astonishing 17 feet, nine inches long. Unfortunately, when GM purchased Opel in 1929, it bought back all of the sold models of the Regent from their owners at well-above retail value and then destroyed them along with all of the plans and imagery associated with the Regent. Darn. Long for the road, not long for the world.

1983 Zimmer Golden Spirit

Zimmer is a car company you will likely never have heard of—that's because they only lasted eight years between 1980 and 1988 before shutting up shop. But not before they produced the 1983 Zimmer Golden Spirit, coming in at a whopping 17 feet, 10 inches long.

1964 Dodge Custom 880

The 1964 Dodge Custom 880 was built to allow Dodge and Chrysler to experiment with whether their markets would bear the length of this car—17 feet, 11 inches—and still be willing to pay a mid-range price tag for such a large vehicle, built to compete against Chrysler's luxurious lineup of vehicles from that era.

They were wrong: Dodge's Custom 880 lasted only four years in a production run.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 600

The 1964 Mercedes-Benz 600 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt car show as a limousine with a V8 engine in it. At 18 feet, two inches long, Mercedes burst onto the limousine scene with dramatic flair.  Although Mercedes had put a lot of money into that V8 engine, it hadn't skimped on the interior of this luxurious limo: electric heating and ventilation came as standard. It also served as a base for the first post-war bulletproof limousine released in 1965 by Mercedes.

2018 NAMI Aurus Senat 

If that's a manufacturer that you don't recognize, we don't blame you. NAMI is a Russian automotive producer. They've created an ultra-luxurious, ultra-long vehicle known as the Aurus Senat, and it's available as an armored limousine with either a V8 or V12 engine. It measures a stunning 18 feet, 2.25 inches long. Kim Jong-un was gifted two by Vladimir Putin in 2024.

2001 Bentley Arnage

Bentley has been building big cars since God was a boy—but the 2001 Arnage was a different animal. At 18 feet, six inches long, the Arnage was a sailboat in a sea of zodiacs. However, when Bentley was sold to Volkswagen because the Arnage had a BMW engine (BMW ultimately bought Rolls-Royce instead), another model of Arnage had to be built using the Rolls-Royce V8 engines instead.

2021 Hongqi Guoyao

Another large luxury vehicle from Hongqi is the Guoyao SUV. Designed as a full-size luxury vehicle, this five-door, five- or four-seat SUV is equipped with a turbo-charged V8 engine capable of producing 355 horsepower and reaching a top speed of 125 mph. The Hongqi Guoyao does all that while being 18.6 feet long.

1977 Plymouth Gran Fury

The 1977 Plymouth Gran Fury was one of the more popular cars among police departments and taxi cab companies. A successor to the Plymouth Fury (first produced in 1956), the Gran Fury was available in both two and four-door styles and was 18 feet, six inches long. You wouldn't want to take a corner in one of these at any great speed.

2024 GMC Yukon XL

The 2024 GMC Yukon XL is another offering in GMC's long history of large SUVs in the Yukon line. GMC has been making the Yukon since 1991 but has never offered one that's quite as big as the Yukon XL. The 2024 GMC Yukon XL is 18.7 feet long.

2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost EWB

You know you're riding in style if you're traveling in a Rolls-Royce Ghost, but what if you're riding around in a Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase? Well, good luck finding anywhere to park. This behemoth is 18 feet, seven inches long, and was designed by BMW to be a "more measured, more realistic car" (said with a straight face). Affordable only to the ultra-wealthy, the Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase is capable of producing 563 horsepower and a top speed of 155 mph.

1968 Pontiac Bonneville

The Pontiac Bonneville had some wonderful longevity, as one might expect for a car that's 18 feet, eight inches long. Developed from 1968 until the 1980s in this boat-like appearance, the Bonneville was named after the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah but we're not quite sure it belonged on the Salt Flats land-speed record track—maybe in a parking lot, tucked away in a corner somewhere to avoid unwanted collisions with much smaller vehicles.

2021 Chevrolet Suburban LT

The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban LT marked the 86th year of production of the Chevrolet Suburban model. Now in its 89th year of production, the Chevrolet Suburban is a huge SUV that just seems to have gotten bigger in the last decade or two, departing from the more traditional-sized four- and five-seater to a new seven-seat SUV. The 2021 Suburban LT boasts a length of 18.80 feet—that's about two and one-third Shaquille O'Neals.

2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

While Cadillac was making its Escalade ESV, Jeep was busy creating a monster SUV of its own. A "grand" departure from what Jeep has traditionally been associated with (smaller, boxier, off-road capable SUVs), the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a huge 18.83 feet long in its "L" model (long wheelbase). Its shorter wheelbase model, "S", is only 17 feet long.

2018 Ford Expedition MAX

Built as a long competitor to the GMC Yukon XL and the Chevy Suburban, Ford decided to take on the big boys of the long-wheelbase world with the Expedition MAX. It definitely earns its capitalized letters, with an extraordinary length of 221.9 inches, or 18.9 feet. It can seat eight passengers and draws its power from a 3.5L V6 engine with EcoBoost technology.

2007 Lincoln Navigator L

The Lincoln Navigator 'L' was released in 2007 by Ford, built on their T1 platform, and was 14.7 inches longer than the OG Navigator model. At 221.9 inches or 18.9 feet, the '07 Navigator L was one of the biggest in its class at the time.

2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a gargantuan SUV, designed for carrying 7 people. Released in 2021, the ESV puts out 420 horsepower from a 6-liter V8 engine and is 18.9 feet long. Cadillac has also released an electric SUV known as the IQ, which is scheduled to commence production this year.

1974 Ford Country Sedan

One of the most practical cars on our list is the 1974 Ford Country Sedan. Borrowing from the luxurious Ford Galaxie, this 18-foot, 9-inch model was short in the front, while providing acres of space in the rear and functioned as a hatchback. Perfect for whipping around town to grab groceries, or to take the kids to various athletics practices.

1986 Daimler DS420

The 1986 Daimler DS420 was a car of royalty. Configurable as either three rows of seating or two rows of seating with legroom in the back, the DS420 was a whopping 18 feet 10 inches long. From the front? It looked like an ordinary car. From the side? Like a near-endless expanse of windows and long lines of metal. The wheelbases were later sold to coachbuilders to make hearses from.

1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

The 1972 Oldsmobile Boat (I mean Ninety-Eight) was available in black or gold thanks to a partnership with Tiffany and Co. jewelers, producing a special edition "Regency" model that was available with gold paintwork and black velour-style pillow seats. Only 2,500 units were ever made of this 19-foot-long gold bar of a car.

1972 Buick Electra

The 1972 Buick Electra was one of Buick's best-selling land yachts of the 1970s. Measuring a huge 19 feet long, the Electra featured a powerful V8 engine that could pull out 225 horsepower and reach enormous speeds of 121 mph.

1975 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham

Despite being named partially after the European country, the Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham was tailored to an American audience. In 1975, pop-up headlights were starting to become popular in the United States, but the Dodge Royal Monaco went against the grain, instead crafting headlights that sat inside the front grille to produce its lights at night while stealthily blending into the body covering during the day. The 1975 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham was a stunning 19 feet and one inch in length.

1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V

The Lincoln Continental was once considered the cream-of-the-crop of opulence in Lincoln's car lineup. The 1977 Mark V wasn't exactly the speediest Continental out there, unlike its predecessors. It could produce 200 horsepower and was fast enough to trundle along like the oversized car that it was. At 19 feet, two inches long, it's no wonder the Continental Mark V didn't survive beyond 1979, as Ford shifted toward economical vehicles following the 1970s fuel crisis.

1971 Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon

The 1971 Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon wouldn't have been much use on safari, despite its name. The Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon was 19 feet, three inches long, and might have been named "safari" because, if stood on end, it wouldn't look out of place next to a giraffe. However, it did provide practical uses for those who needed plenty of rear trunk space, and a roof rack was available, too.

2024 Hongqi Guoya

Hongqi has begun accepting reservations for their ultra-long, ultra-luxury sedan, the Guoya, otherwise known as the L1. Will be an astonishing 19.6 feet long. This ultra-long wheelbase is one of two made by the Chinese manufacturer. The other, the Hongqi Guoli, is the same length but has a more retro style than the Guoya.

2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII EWB

Another extended wheelbase model from Rolls-Royce sees the Phantom VIII bring its impressive powertrain and opulent luxury to an extended wheelbase platform. The Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB is the largest production car currently available and is 19.625 feet long, besting the Hongqi Guoya by the slimmest of margins.

1973 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron

The 1973 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron was the company's "fuselage look", maybe because it was the size of a small aircraft. More boat than a car, the Imperial didn't last long as Chrysler's competitor to the Cadillac Fleetwood and the Lincoln Continental. Still, it was an impressive 19 feet, 7 inches long.

1968 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI

The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI needed to be powered by a 6.7-liter V8 engine because the seven-seater limousine was almost 20 feet long. Almost. Officially, 19 feet, 10 inches. The Phantom VI was also available as a hearse or a convertible. Riders in the Phantom VI were treated to a luxurious riding experience—unless, of course, you were onboard their hearse model.

1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five

This land yacht cost only $5,000 in 1959 (that's $53,070 today, adjusted for inflation). It was available as a seven-seater passenger vehicle or as a limousine with a glass divider between the driver and passengers. Popular among government officials and businesspeople, the Seventy-Five featured double tail-lights that flared out the back. It's length? An enormous 20 feet, 2 inches.

2015 Mercedes Maybach Pullman

The 2015 Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is a luxury full-sized sedan with a huge interior. The Pullman can be used, according to Mercedes, as a mobile workspace and is longer than many pickup trucks out there today. How long? It's 21.23 feet long—that's 21 and a quarter Subway subs.

2004 FAB 1 Lady Penelope's Car

Thankfully, the 2004 FAB 1 wasn't a production vehicle, mostly because it would be almost impossible to drive anywhere except an empty parking lot. Produced by Ford for the 2004 live-action Thunderbirds movie, the car that was used in filming is currently on display at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire, England. It is 26 feet long.
