Eco-Conscious Nissan Leaf Stretch Limousine for Eight Goes Under the Hammer

|

As it turns out, the world's first street-legal electric limousine based on the Nissan Leaf didn't hold its job at the Embassy suites hotel in Nashville, Tennesse, for long as we found the car listed for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $50,000 (equal to €39,400 or GBP 31,500) and a 'Buy it now price' of $57,000 (€44,900 or GBP 35,900).

We first came to know of the existence of the Leaf stretch limo back in the summer from Nissan itself, which even released a video of the eight-passenger model (see below).

It was built in Springfield, Missouri, by a company named Imperial Coach Builders, which had said at the time that it kept most of the Leaf's essential parts intact, though, the stock battery pack was moved to the rear end of the car for balance.

The transformation from a compact hatchback to a stretched limousine added approximately 400 pounds (181kg) in the center of the car, which was also upgraded with all the usual amenities one expects to find in these vehicles (sans the disco ball…).
