Taxi rides are never worth mentioning, at least not thanks to the vehicle that temporarily caters to your transportation needs. However, a British company has set out to change this and it's using a Lamborghini Huracan in the process.
The Wolverhampton City Council has recently granted a taxi license to Special Wedding Cars - don't be afraid of the name, you don't have to get married in order to enjoy their V10 Raging Bull, with the supercar set to be used as a cab.
For one thing, this solves the problem that sometimes accompanies the initial part of your ride, namely spotting your taxi - given the acid shade of Green covering this Lambo, the sharpness of human eyesight will be the only limiting factor here - this might just be Sant'Agata Bolognese's Verde Mantis, but we can't be entirely sure.
However, since the Huracan, with its naturally-aspirated engine and its pop-addicted exhaust, is one of the loudest supercars on the market, you'll also have early alerts before your cab arrives. Just make sure to keep in mind that two-passenger rides are probably not okay, so if you were planning to take your SO along for a ride, you'd better look for a supercar hire service.
The Lambo will be used for all sorts of events, from the wedding adventures mentioned in the company's name to prom rides. And the Brits are being honest about the costs on the company's Facebook page: "Lamborghini Taxi !!! Yes that was ours Lamborghini yesterday ! Not a normal taxi price at £349 [make that $500 or EUR at the current exchange rates] for 1.5 hours but then again not quite a normal taxi at £198,000.00."
Since on certain occasions you have to get to your destination ASAP, this Italian exotic taxi might actually make sense. Wonder what the British law enforcement thinks about it, though...
