that's some car dealership!



World's largest car dealership in Turkey will let buyers test drive on roof

Drivers with a head for heights will be given the chance to hit the roof when the world’s largest car dealership opens for business. The futuristic building in Turkey will not only feature 200 showrooms but also an open-air circuit on the top floor, where customers can take their potential purchases for a spin.

Istanbul’s Autopia Europia rooftop track is not an unprecedented innovation – Fiat had the same idea for its Turin factory. The Turkish development will set its own records, however.

The building will cover 66,000sq m (709,000sq ft) and boast 48 service stations, 42 insurance companies and 24 banks. The showrooms will contain 2,426 models from 400 brands – with 6million visitors expected each year.
