Not a fan of those procrustean Maserati Ghibli and Porsche Panamera hearses, but, for whatever reason, are still looking for something out of the ordinary when it comes to funeral cars? Don’t fret, as Holland’s Remetzcar has you covered.
The stretch limousine and hearse coachbuilder introduced the most electrifying funeral coach we’ve seen so far by sacrificing a Tesla Model S that was presented in a world premiere at the Uitvaart Vakbeurs 2016, which is Dutch for “Funeral Exhibition” – well, where else did you expect it to debut, at the Paris Auto Show?
Remetzcar says that after sawing the Tesla Model S in half and removing the batteries from under the car, they safely extended its body by 800mm or 31.5 inches, for a total length of 5,770mm or 227.2 inches.
The company stated that while keeping the original front compartment intact (the only place you really want to be in this car), the rear part of the “cabin” was outfitted with a “classy décor” and a manually retractable floor to transport one coffin along with a “practical storage space under the floor”.
