The ultimate urban runabout? 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-generation low-emissions ‘black cab’, 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 LEVC TX, which will be familiar to many city-dwellers. The firm is embarking upon the build process after receiving a positive response on social media channels to the ultra-luxury taxi and pilot vehicle for the project, which was snapped up by a private customer in London.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 hard-wearing rubber flooring is high-quality thick-pile carpet, and hand-crafted wood veneers adorn the door trims. A panoramic roof floods the cabin with natural light, and after dusk occupants can tailor the ambient lighting system with a colour to match their mood.
