Sutton Bespoke announces limited run of super-luxurious London taxis

A London-based retailer of high-end cars has started a limited production run of super-luxurious vehicles based on the new LEVC TX, for those who want to travel discreetly about town in unrivalled comfort.

Sutton Bespoke, the bespoke tuning arm of luxury car dealer Clive Sutton, is basing the cars on the unique electric range-extender which will be familiar to many of London's city-dwellers. 

The Sutton VIP Class LEVC taxi features a fully redesigned interior, with rear seats angled for comfort and trimmed in Sandalwood leather with Alcantara trim.

Replacing the rubber flooring is thick carpet, while hand-crafted wood veneers adorn the door trims.

A panoramic roof floods the cabin with natural light, and an ambient lighting system with a colour to match the mood.

The interior is as high-tech as it is luxurious - occupants have access to haptic climate controls, an upgraded stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity, a TV tuner with Apple TV, and a PlayStation 4. Between the rear passengers there is a new luxury armrest complete with cupholders, and behind that a refrigerator.

Separating the driver and passenger compartment is a retractable screen to provide the rear passengers with privacy.

A fully electrically adjustable leather seat and a state-of-the-art digital instrument cluster ensures the driver remains comfortable. Soft-close doors can also be specified.

For the exterior a subtle yet distinctive two-tone exterior paint finish has been applied.

The iconic black taxi paint for the lower portions, and Ferrari's 'Grigio Silverstone' on the upper portion for a touch of sophistication. The taxi sign on the roof will remain to preserve the iconic silhouette of the vehicle, albeit with the words 'TAXI' lettering replaced by 'VIP'.
