Diamond Covered Mercedes - Benz

THE CAR COSTS $4.8 MILLION
AND IF YOU WANT TO TOUCH IT, YOU HAVE TO PAY $1000.
IT BELONGS TO PRINCE WALEED FROM SAUDI ARABIA.
Diamond Covered Mercedes.

Spotted at one of the Middle Eastern country's many auto shows, the Mercedes SL in question comes complete with a diamond encrusted paint scheme (or so it appears), chrome wheels, and of course, white fur-lined seating.

Prince Waleed's Million Dollar Car : Diamond Studded Mercedes Benz SL600

Invented and patented by Daniel Swarovski in 1892, the precision-cut crystal glasses made through the energy-intensive grinding process have been applied into many ranges of products including crystal sculptures and miniatures, jewelry and couture, home décor and chandeliers. In order to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum, SWAROVSKI AG of Wattens, Austria – the company founded in 1895 by Armand Kosman and Franz Weis – coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical coatings.

Gold Rolls Royce Phantom

Giving the Midas touch to high-priced cars is an entirely different domain, and affluent people who like to pimp their luxury sedans with gold and gem stones keep hitting the headlines. Helping him show his opulence on the roads, another car collector from the UK has done a paint job to his Rolls Royce Phantom by covering its outer surface with a gold-plated sheet. The four lucky wheels also receive a little Midas touch. The gold-plated Rolls Royce spotted somewhere on the UK roads is said to be the only eternal piece of art in the world that would certainly be a valuable addition to the bling-bling vehicles top list. However, there isn’t any factual information about how much money was spent on the car to give it a classy appeal. What we know is it adds an immeasurable value to the owner’s garage.

When a Rolls Royce isn’t enough to display wealth,

Gold plated Mercedes-Benz C63

Paint Mercedes-Benz in gold color. Gold Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG amazed everybody at the ‘Bling on Wheels Show’, otherwise known as the valet area at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. And there is no word on what amount was thrashed to paint this most expensive car, but the flashy gold-mirror finish will certainly make your eyes sore when you take a closer look on a sunny day.

Gold Audi R8 spotted

It comes as no surprise that we find this golden Audi R8 super car in the oil rich capital of over the top tuning, Dubai. What sets this particular R8 apart from all the other GT machines that have undergone the King Midas treatment is that instead of blinding onlookers with a brilliant reflective surface, draws them closer to adore the matte-gold super car. This rendition makes the matte-black R8 with its stealth like finish look rather dull.

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.
