A show-stopping Learjet limo has been unveiled, featuring a fully-custom design that has transformed a former plane into a nightclub on wheels. 

The one-of-a-kind vehicle, which cost more than $1 million (£760,000) to construct and can transport up to eight passengers, uses four 28-inch wheels attached to a wingless Learjet fuselage. 

It is now available to anybody prepared to pay $5 million for the contraption.  

Before it was debuted in 2018, the 28-metre (42ft)-long Limo-Jet was in the making for 12 years.

It was developed by the Illinois-based Jetsetter, Inc and the idea was conceived back in 2006 by Dan Harris and Frank DeAngelo and is based in Lakeville, Minnesota, USA.

The inside is packed to with lights, speakers, screens, and enough seating for a wedding party. 

It is no longer powered by the original jet engine but a V8 internal combustion engine. 

The old engine housings have been fitted with lights to provide a soft glow at night. 

Exact dimensions of the so-called Learjet remain unknown but the mystery and intrigue is part of the appeal according to Mr DeAngelo. 

‘We’ve had people pull over on the side of the road, get out of the car and video tape the limo,’ he said.  

Work in progress!
