Lexus LS 600h L Landaulet for Monaco Royal Wedding blows our minds
Staffers here at Autoblog have been fortunate enough to drive cars like the Porsche Panamera and Bentley Continental at our weddings, but it takes a very high-ranking person to get an automaker to build a special vehicle just for the knot-tying ceremonies. His Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco is getting married in just over a week, and when he does, Lexus will have this very special LS 600h L Landaulet waiting to handle chauffeur duty.
Yes, it’s being called a Landaulet – you know, like the Maybach – but instead of the rear seat passengers being completely alfresco, there’s a transparent bubble roof, in this case, one without any reinforcements or pillars. Lexus says that the roof was built by one of the world’s leading transparent component-production companies in France. The entire Landaulet conversion was handled by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet in close collaboration with Lexus, and it took just over 2,000 hours to complete. Even the Midnight Blue livery paint is a special touch – it was applied manually using several coats of bespoke, water-based paint.
After checking out the high-res gallery below, hit the jump to see four short videos detailing the LS 600h L Landaulet’s production and read over the official press release.
