High School Kids are Looking for Unique Limousines for Proms

Take your best friends and their dates. Get the prettiest dress or most classy suit. Rent a stretch limousine to pick you up. Throw in some cool music and have fun! This used to be a prom night plan for many Chicago kids a decade ago. Nowadays, everybody is trying to be different. No one wants to show up with the same dress as other girl or wearing the same tie as the other boys. Even getting a unique designer dress is not enough. a Now, a prom is not a prom is you don’t impress or surprise your friends and even family. Thus, even the limo ride to the prom must be unique.

Arriving at the prom is a big deal for high school students. A grand entrance is one of the most important aspects of the prom night. Lately in Chicago, there are new trends where kids pay more attention to the entrance pictures than the dance itself. Everybody gathers and poses in front of their limousines and hired professional photographers take many professional photos. What do kids do with them? Uploading pictures to Facebook is one of the main attractions. Kids love to share their events on social networks! And it’s no wonder, since prom is one of the most anticipated events of the year.

So what limos are popular for Chicago proms 2013 or 2014? SUV types of limousines are getting trendier by a year. These include Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2 or even Lincoln MKT limousines. A classic Town Car stretch is being replaced with fancier, more lavish SUV cars. However, not only the type of limo shifted toward the bigger side, the colors changed too. How about matching a limo to your dress? How about pink, silver, fuchsia, or pearl limo? Chicago limousine operators have to change their fleet to the customers liking. That means replacing Lincoln limos with bigger SUV limousines. Limos are now being painted in many different colors. There are even animal print limousines.

Changing industry adapts to the client needs and comes up better and better limos every year. So next time, when renting a prom limo, don’t settle for a regular Lincoln Limousine. Opt out for bigger, flashier and shinier cars that will definitely draw the eye of all the kids at your school. http://elitechicagolimo.com/proms.html

World premiere of a luxury Amphibious limousine

Update by Elite Chicago Limo 
http://elitechicagolimo.com/vehicles.html

Massacussets based marine company Nouvoyage introduces a groundbreaking limousine that can convert into a yacht on demand. The amphibious craft, called Limousine Tender 33 is build under a patented technology and is first of its kind of a vehicle. An innovative limo-yacht was presented a few days ago, it is intended to fulfill the needs of the luxury travelers as well as some commercial sector. To create Limo Tender 33, Nouvoyage has been analyzing and researching potential amphibious vehicles for marine and military industries for many years. Combining the military knowledge with luxury standards they resulted with a luxurious super-yacht which can reach destinations both on land as well as on water.

A recent interview with Nouvoyage’s Chief Executive Officer Martin Broadley reveals his view on the innovative machine. Broadley states “Nouvoyage recognized that, historically, amphibious vehicles have been plagued with reliability and performance limitations due to their complex mechanical systems, preventing this dual purpose platform from ever achieving large scale deployment”. This means that all the previous ideas to combine Chicago land driving with water cruising could not have been properly implemented due to technological issues. However, with improving technology such once-thought-unrealistic dreams have become more than real.

Broadley continues, “Nouvoyage has created a platform that breaks through these known barriers with a patented design combining mechanical simplicity with state-of-the-art technologies drawn from leading commercial, military and racing industry advancements. Our platform will benefit existing uses of amphibious vehicles as well as opening doors for many new applications and industries.”

So let’s take a look on the improvements Nouvoyage made to the typical amphibious luxury Chicago limousine model. First and foremost, the new Limo Tender 33 has much higher speeds both on land and on water. Secondly, it has a bigger range when it comes to distance and is more economical on fuel consumption. Additionally, it has improved the drivelines and stability of the limousine as well as open water classification. Not only the mechanical functions get an upgrade but also many luxury elements were added. Limo Tender now features multiple climate controlled spaces with separate controls, convertible windows of the deck as well as convertible roofs, five-star luxury interiors, a washroom and many more.


In addition to attention to the luxury side of the Limo, Nouvoyage is also going green. Bodley claims it is more environmentally friendly than some Chicago limos, and some hybrid cars. Limo Tender 33 implements hybrid diesel – electric technology helping it consume significantly less and go much longer. Additionally, he claims the limo is maintenance friendly and is more reliable to its preceding versions.
Will Limo Tender 33 be the next big thing or is it just another James Bond style dream? For more information on Nouvoyage visit their website http://nouvoyage.com/

New Electric Limo!

The electric automobile industry has been booming in the past couple of years and now has begun to reach the limousine business.  A few elite limousine companies have begun to invest in electric limos.

The electric limo is unlike a typical hybrid vehicle, which use gasoline as fuel matched with a battery and motor to run more efficiently. However, an electric car is solely powered by electricity. Research shows that gasoline powered vehicles only harm the environment and this concern has reached limousine companies.

The electric limo is a spin off of a regular electric car. The limo is of a Nissan Leaf electric sedan, but reinvented. It has been extended to be turned into a limousine. The frame has been broadened to create room to hold more people. The benefits of an electric limo are clear; the concern now is time. With an average limo driving six hours a day, vastly more on the weekends, the time to charge the car may become a hassle when reservations are booked all day. The Nissan Leaf electric car has a 12-volt battery charger, which can recharge the vehicle within 30 minutes.

Chicago Limo Services have already become interested in electric cars. Many big cities in the U.S. have gas consumption rules in order to stay legal on the road. The average miles range is one hundred on the battery life. In the near future, electric car companies foresee an increase in the hundred-mile range with new technology emerging.

Companies such as Elite Chicago Limo have begun looking into the charging procedures and the charge station locations.  An another added benefit is the initial tax savings that not only limo companies may receive, but all electric cars. Most states give an average of $10,000 sales tax credit over the lifetime of the electric car.

Will the future hold all electric cars on the highway with charging stations at every exit? Who knows how many limousine companies, or even taxi companies, will jump on this new trend. One thing is for certain, the benefits are clear and people are excited about this emerging technology on the roads. 

Chicago Outing Ideas

As the economic recovery is making way in the United States and businesses make their move to metropolitan areas like Chicago, more people are looking for ways to engage with their coworkers and employers to boost their work effort.  In Chicago, finding something to do is not as easy as it may sound. The city is huge and there are certainly many attractions, but people have many different wants and pleasing a group of people is never easy.

So for starters, when it comes to choosing a Chicago event, you must first decide on transportation. With the Chicago limousine prices being ever cheaper, there is absolutely no reason why you should not transport your group of friends and coworkers from one location to the next in style.  Also, with the selection of limousines that is available today, you may simply be overwhelmed by the amount of choices that you have, so you must decide if you want corporate, casual, or a party environment in your limousine.  Of course, most Chicago firms will choose either a casual or a party Chicago limo, but the point is that there are options.

Once you have your Chicago limo service booked, you must find a venue for your outing.  Most Chicago firms choose separation locations for their food and attractions, mainly because Chicago offers so many great restaurant locations to choose from.  Between steak houses, sushi bars, Chicago style buffets, and specialty restaurants, there are more than a few high standard restaurant locations. Thus, you could just leave the option to your employees who could simply vote on a list of a few Chicago restaurants.

When it comes to Chicago company outings, attractions are always the most difficult to pick. 
The good news is, most venues and locations offer more than a single attraction, so it is much easier to appease a big group of people.  The options that you have are:

1. Outdoor games like Paintball, Archery Lessons, Shooting Range, Laser Tag
2. Chicago discovery flight (lots of options here, but truly phenomenal reviews from our clientele)
3. Sporting events (Chicago Cubs, White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Fire, Wolves, are all great!)
4. Bar Crawling (the idea is to pick a few bars, and have your Chicago Limo take you to all of them by the end of the night!)
5. Dave and Busters
6. Navy Pier  - everyone finding something to enjoy is a guarantee
7. Chicago Odyssey cruise (just like in “the Office”, a guaranteed blast)
8. Bowling
9. Whirly Ball – Google it, a very popular game among businesses

Of course, it all comes down to the needs and wants of your party and your budget. But with the number of permutations available, you are guaranteed to make an economical and fun choice.  As long you have a great group of people, reliable Chicago Limousine Service, and a good attitude, you should have a blast!

Chicago Limo: 3 Cars from Frankfurt Auto Show - Day One

The International Automobile Exhibition, also known as the Frankfurt Motor Show is one of the largest motor shows in the world. It is held biennially (every other year) in Frankfurt, Germany. The 2011 show is held from September 15 to September 25.

If you had a chance to participate in the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show yourself, you're pretty lucky. Otherwise, you can check out 3 interesting cars from the day one, which Elite Chicago Limo hand picked for you.


A Concept Ford Fiesta ST

Ford has build a concept of the Ford Fiesta under the ST line. The production date is still unknown, but the new concept will sport a 180-hp engine. Whoa, we are stunned here at Chicago Limo Service.

This new Fiesta will be able to develop 60 mph in just under seven secs. Also, the newly redesigned Fiesta will use a six speed manual from the 1.6-liter engine to the front wheels.

Kia Gt concept

Kia has unveiled its new GT, first Euro - Style car. Just as for every Asian manufacturer, it is considered a big step - so it is for Kia. New concept is simply called GT and debuted on the day one of the Frankfurt auto show.

46 years ago, Toyota shower its firs GT model - now it's Kias time. Unlike Toyota, Kia is not a production car, though it has many attributes a buyer would like: suicide doors, and cameras for rear view mirrors, and a 3.3-liter turbo engine.

The new Porsche 911

The 997 is officially over after 7 years. The new Porsche - the Porsche 911 - is very similar to the 911 over past 48 years. It is just a little bit better in every aspect.

The Porsche 911 appeared in the Frankfurt auto Show to replace the 997. It is 100 pounds lighters, has a top speed of 180 mph. However, it is not easy to tell 911 from 997. The body works is different just in Astonesque rear lights. But that's just how Porsche is.

So Frankfurt Auto Show day one brought new trends to the automobile world. For further updates, keep following Chicago wedding limo blog.
