The world's longest car.

How long is the longest car in the world? Well, over 100 feet, but more importantly it has a hot tub, a swimming pool, and a helipad.

On March 1, the world’s longest ever car broke its own 1986 Guinness World Record after being restored by a group led by Miami-based developer Michael Dezer. It’s a lengthy auto at 30.54 meters (100 feet and 1.50 inches), with 26 wheels, and room for up to 75 passengers.

Dezer’s team took two years to restore the car in his own theme park, Dezerland Park, after buying it on eBay from Michael Manning, who owns Autoseum, a technical teaching museum in Nassau County — he found it rotting behind a warehouse in New Jersey.

The car, dubbed “The American Dream,” was first built in Burbank, California by Jay Ohrberg and held the record at 18.28 meters (60 feet) — Dezer and Manning’s teams have extended it. According to Guinness World Records, the restoration took three years and cost over $250,000 (£190,725).

Now, it has both its own pool (with diving board), jacuzzi, mini golf course, waterbed, TVs, a fridge, and a helipad and can be driven from both ends, though turning is an…issue.

In the video above, Manning actually talks about possibly turning it into an electric vehicle one day, which would make it the longest EV in the world.
