Stretch Endeavours

roopakr · 9th May 2007, 13:36

Got a ride in the car,and yeah couldnt feel any power difference.May be because the drive was too short.
As the owner says,there is an overall increase of 450 kgs and that doesnt affect the power much.But he agreed there is a slight drop of 1-2 kms/lt in FE.
The interior is so comfortable with sliding seats which turns to a bed which can fit 2 adults and the completely reclining seats,one TV,touch screens,one LCD tV.microphones,refrigerator and a bar..The upholestry is not upto the standards of the car..and he said will be improving the upholestry depending upon the customer..
Anyway I feel its nice to see the trend happening here in INDIA.
On asking his inspiration to this..His answer was..
"People have money,then why dont we..??"...

They have already done stretch on Skodas and INNOVAS,XTRAIL..

Hi Team,

I saw the documentry of this Streched Ford Endeavour in Manorama News channel (Fast Track) last week. The owner told that he costs 40 Lakhs for the alteration... he is getting 8 - 10 kms Mileags also!!! the owner is a mallu too.

@sunilchakola.
You are right dude...He is a mallu and his son is my friend.

Hi Guys,

Spotted this Stretched Ford Endeavour in Bangalore near 4th Block Jayanagar with TN registration.
Wonder how they manage to drive these vehicles in a city like Bangalore

I saw this near IIM at around 5 - the poor guy took a looooong 3 point turn to complete his U turn. Tried taking pix but there was too much traffic and I was on a bike. StretchUV - hmmmm

I spotted a stretch Merc Vito van (people carrier) on Residency road, Bangalore yesterday. The van was stretched by more than a metre. Sorry couldnot take any pics. Has anybody spotted the same in Bangalore?

this stretch looks cool, wonder how it performs and what about the power to weight ratio??? any info about the under hood will be great...and i wonder how does one exactly drives this thing in places like t.nagar(chennai)..

Noticed a white stretch version in the intermediate ring road yesterday... too much traffic to notice the number plate..

I've seen the white stretch version parked in Koramangala a couple of times. Opposite the Koramangala police station. Looks like the owner lives there ... not the station though!!
