Istanbul, Turkey will reportedly home world’s largest auto dealership, called Autopia Europia. The space so big it’s probably more convenient think it as an industrial complex, rather than an auto dealer: more than two million square feet, each five floors almost 20 feet high, 200 auto sales outlets hawking new and used metal, shot through 56 eateries, 48 repair shops, 24 banks and 42 insurance companies. And that’s just a taste options.
Perhaps most unusual feature of Autopia Europia test-drive track on roof of building. The building’s developers expect six million visitors per year, we can only imagine they’re including lot foot traffic in that estimate. With 900-car parking garage, even three people in every car, it would take nearly seven years accommodate that many guests. Construction has just begun so they’ve probably got couple years crunch those numbers again.
You can have look at it the gallery of high-res renderings below, or the video after the jump. Hat tip to Brian!
