Room for one more? World’s first ‘super bus’ can take 23 passengers but looks more like a Lamborghini (and boasts a top speed of 155mph)

This is the world's first super bus, crafted with state-of-the-art materials which seats 23 passengers and had a top speed of 155mph (250kmh).

Developed in Holland by an astronaut and a former Formula One aerodynamics expert, the midnight-blue, electric-powered vehicle costs £7million and was flown to the United Arab Emirates where it will be used by a sheikh.

Roomy: The first ever super bus can travel at up to 155mph and will be used for the commute between Abu Dhabi and Dubai by a sheikh

The hi-tech bus means he will be able to complete the 75-mile commute from Dubai to neighbouring Abu Dhabi in under 30 minutes.

Made of lightweight materials including aluminium, carbon fibre, fibreglass and polycarbonate, it is 49ft long (15 metres), 8ft wide (2.5 metres) and 5ft 5in high (1.65 metres).

Passengers will be able to enjoy comfort equal to that of a luxury limousine or private jet. The super bus has eight gullwing-style doors on each side to allow for a swift exit.

AD to Dubai in 30mins? Did I read that wrong, or does it fly or something!!! [i'>Apparently[/i'> it will run on it's own concrete track alongside the road....! And of course, no-one else is going to nip on and speed up and down it too are they....?! :/: The only hint of a concrete track is a couple of pieces near Marina Mall ... but somehow I think he'll want to try it out long before any track gets built ... I'll be looking for him in 7days! Lol! I did see a town in England somewhere that had built a 'bus track' on an old railway line, maybe if the Metro goes pear shaped he can plonk his bus on there? ;) <em>edited by MrsMopp on 04/10/2011</em>
