If you’re the sort of person who would be late to their own funeral, fear not as you can live fast, die young and now be chauffeured to your final send-off even faster.
Italian coachbuilder Ellena Autotrasformazioni, which specialises in funeral cars, has built its exclusive new G3.0 hearse on the body of a diesel-powered Maserati Ghibli.
The company has taken the V6-powered sports car and stretched it by just over one and a half metres, bringing its total length to more than 21 feet.
21 feet long, 270bhp diesel V6
That’s enough room for a coffin up to eight feet long, but in true Maserati fashion it comes with low-profile sport tyres, nautical leather upholstery and a removable crucifix in case the deceased isn’t Christian.
The regular diesel Ghibli is fast enough to reach 62mph from a standing start in 6.3 seconds, and although the hearse is heavier and therefore a bit slower, it’ll still be quicker than your average funeral carriage.
What a time to be alive. Or not…
