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.
Naturally, adding 18kg of 18-carat gold to your car comes at a cost, but then again the pearlescent paintwork has added around £270,000 to its resale value.

It is not just the outside of this Porsche which has been covered in gold but also the steering wheel, the alloys and other interior features. To top it all off the gold plated Porsche has a cool flowery design which has been etched into the gold.
