I remember being a 9 years old child my brother and me completed an album about Guiness Records, and caught my attention the bus with the most capacity of passengers... and here it is. It was released by Neo Scale Models and I bough it back in 2016. It's a model you can spend hours and hours looking all its details...
Some numbers about the 1/1: 18m long; 2,5m wide; 170 passengers; 20.9 liters V12 Mercedes Benz engine 440 bhp; only 11 units built between 1975 and 1992.
And here are some pics where you can see its size compared to some cars...

Keko, Thanks. The closest I have to that but is this NABI (North American Bus Industries) articulated bus that my local town runs on selected routes. I modified a slightly different one in Washington DC livery to my local version adding left hand doors, etc. These have the powerplant in the trailing unit.
I used this photo to create the decal for the logo livery.
