10 Of The Longest Cars Ever

1967 Toyota Century (16ft 4in/4980mm)

The Century was launched in 1967 as Toyota’s flagship model, as pictured.

1978 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2 (17ft 3in/5283mm)

Revived from the 1924 Lagonda, the series 2 was worlds apart from its original namesake.

1953 Kaiser Manhattan (17ft 7in/5363mm)

Just 4109 were built before competition drowned Kaiser’s sales and the company folded.

1928 Opel Regent (17ft 9in/5400mm)

Although the vehicle pictured is not in fact more than 17ft long, the original Opel Regent was.

1983 Zimmer Golden Spirit (17ft 10in/5436mm)

Arguably the epitome of neoclassical car design, the Golden Spirit is a 1920s and ’30s-inspired modern creation.

1964 Dodge Custom 880 (17ft 11in/5456mm)

The Dodge Custom 880 was rather early to the American fashion of long cars.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 600 (18ft 2in/5540mm)

Its maker claims it reached a top speed of 127mph and could do 0-62mph in 10 secs.

2001 Bentley Arnage LWB (18ft 6in/5640mm)

The Arnage was the last Bentley model produced under the ownership of Vickers.

1977 Plymouth Gran Fury (18ft 6in/5649mm)

Not to be confused with the Fury, the Gran Fury was its successor from 1975.

1968 Pontiac Bonneville (18ft 8in/5677mm)

This model was named in homage to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, the home of several land-speed record runs.
