The Peregrinate is quite different from traditional chauffeur-driven cars. Its body is made from superhydrophobic Lexan polycarbonate (read: water-resistant) and is outfitted with transitional tinting and rear LED brake lamps that are integrated within the polyurethane gel bumper. The Peregrinate has a gliding pantograph door system to enable guests to enter the vehicle easily.
