THE £121,000 TAXI: Stunning VIP LEVC taxi showcased
Updated: Sep 6, 2021
The bespoke coachbuilding division of luxury car specialist Clive Sutton has revealed the pricing, full specification and new customisation options for its production range of VIP LEVC Taxis.
The driver and passenger compartments of the LEVC taxi have been completely overhauled by the Sutton Bespoke team. Customers can opt for a plethora of luxury fittings from leather-clad, electronically-reclining heated rear seats with footrests, to a fibre-optic starlight roof, or electronic self-closing doors.
The production version of the iconic London black cab made its public debut at the Blenheim Palace-based ‘Salon Privé’ concours event in Oxfordshire. Showgoers explored the £121,480 show car featuring two-tone paintwork, built-in umbrella holders and a high-quality audio system. New Sutton VIP LEVC Taxi prices start from £104,680 on the road.
Clive Sutton, Founder and CEO: “While many of our clients seek power, performance and stand-out style, another portion prefer discreet, unique, customisable luxury. Our Sutton VIP LEVC Taxi enables the most comfortable, spacious and private journey through the city with extravagant features usually reserved for superyachts and private jets.”
The Sutton Bespoke team has revealed multiple configurations in which the taxi can be ordered. Customers can choose from a four-, three-, or even an ultra-spacious two-seat set-up with a drinks fridge, on-board WiFi and Bluetooth as standard.
Privacy can be upgraded as part of an optional exterior package that includes smoke-tinted rear windows, while those after more entertainment can specify a PlayStation or Xbox. The console is connected to a 20-inch media screen that is incorporated within a leather-clad divider, which separates the front and rear compartments.
Colour choices are almost limitless, enabling owners to stay discreet or to create something truly unique. Distinguishing the Sutton taxi from their ordinary siblings goes well beyond colour, trim and technology, with thick-pile carpet, an ambient lighting system, and hand-crafted wood veneers taking the vehicle to new levels of opulence.
