A £200,000 neon green Lamborghini has been granted a taxi licence to drive people around Wolverhampton in style.

The city council claims it is the first Lamborghini to be issued with a private hire cab licence in the UK.

With a 202mph top speed and an ability to go from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, the supercar will make for a very different travelling experience compared to the average Toyota taxi cab.

City firm Special Wedding Cars has registered the car with the council and it can be booked for any journey, starting with a minimum charge of £349 for 90 minutes.

The Lamborghini Huracan boasts a top speed in excess of 200mph and a five-litre engine.

On its website, Special Wedding Cars said: “Taking its name from the Spanish for hurricane, the Lamborghini Huracan is a whirlwind of a super-car.”

“Replacing the 11-year-old Lamborghini Gallardo, the Huracan had much to live up to, and it does, with all the passion you would expect from the Italian manufacturer.

“Hiring a Lamborghini Huracan with its lean angular looks and crisp sharp lines will enhance any special occasion.”

Special Wedding Cars offers a host of unusual vehicles, including London buses, Del Boy’s Reliant Regal,and a VW Camper Van.
