Gold Russian Porsche 911 Turbo

World’s first gold Porsche

Anyway, in separate gold Porsche news, a goldsmith and artist from Stuttgart was actually the first person to make a Porsche more medallion than its owner. A jewellery magnate based in Pforzheim in Germany – dubbed the City of Gold because of its heritage in the jewelery and watch-making industry commissioned the artist to gild a Porsche Boxster in 22 carat beaten gold in 2006

The gold plated Porsche was always going to attract plenty of attention, some of that attention of the welcome female variety, and some of it of the unwelcome criminal variety. In fact the car was actually stolen and found again some a short time later

The Russians have taken conspicuous consumption to a new level over the last few years and one wealthy Muscovite even thought it that it was a good idea to cover his Porsche with gold.
Covered in 40 pounds of pure gold (beaten 22 carat gold), this Porsche 911 may look dazzling but it’s a fair bet to say that it will no longer be doing 0-60 in under five seconds.

White Gold Mercedes Benz

The specially made car features a newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque. It is said to be able to go from 0-100km/h in less than 2 seconds, and can go a 1/4 mile in 6.89 seconds running on bio fuel. But seriously folks, is it even relevant to talk about bio fuel in the face of such an item?

Cost of this “jewelry store on wheels” is reported to be $2.5 million – or enough money to feed the poorer populations of many Arab countries for months.

Oil rich Emirates in the USE have been known to spend large sums of money on all kinds of extravagant projects including what has been billed as the largest and most expensive indoor ski complex in the world, Ski Dubai; the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa Tower (all 158 stories of it) Abu Dhabi’s now being constructed luxurious Al Reem Island (said to be a playground for the wealthy); and what may be the only truly environmental sustainable project, Masdar City, which is also in the early stages of construction.
Luxury at the expense of poorer Arabs
All of these, including the car of course, are at the expense of millions of people throughout the Muslim world who go to bed hungry every night; and many of these people
(from countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia, and even Jordan) work in the UAE on these projects for incomes ranging from as little as $4 a day.

The United Arab Emirate states being over-the-top extravagant when purchasing super luxury cars? Word has it that an Abu Dhabi billionaire is the proud owner of a Mercedes V10 Quad Turbo sports job that has a body made of white gold! Not gold paint, but gold alloy sheet meta

Gold Plated BMW M5 Car

Gold Plated BMW M5
This golden BMW M5 car is a high performance version of the BMW 5 series automobile manufactured by the M racing division of BMW. It can go from 0-100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/hour with electronic speed limiter.

The gold plated BMW M5 has several Formula One inspired engine and transmission controls, including launch control, dynamic stability control, and the option of changing to either automated or manual, as well as the speed at which shifts are completed. However, it costs much more than the usual BMW M5 as it is gold plated.

This gold plated BMW M5 was spotted on the roads of Moscow and quite frankly, it simply makes my head spinning just by looking at it. The car has been creating a lot of buzz all over the web, some believe it’s an insult to a BMW car, others, more extravagant, like the show off look of this car and the yellow shine that makes it stand out.
