Mercedes SLR McLaren 999 Red Gold Dream

[R8_Sweden]

Holy crap!
Lot's of money does definitely not guarantee good taste:

Article in swedish, but picture gallery at the bottom of the text.

Some features of the car:
Red and gold is the theme of the car, with 24 carat gold all over
Interior "pimped" with 600 rubys
the paint contains 5 kg of gold and has been applied in 25 layers (worth around 200.000 EUR)
30 000 hours have been spent "perfecting" the car
The owner is trying to sell the car for around 7 million euros! :-O

Any buyers?

That is one ugly car!

It looks like it came out of those old 80s cartoons where they couldn't detail the colors...

I agree lol. Kinda reminds me of the batmobile a bit

So this car pretty much epitomises bling culture I find so detestable. So sure, if you give me 7 million euros I might be prepared to take it, but "not a penny less", it would not be worth it.

i feel sorry for both owner and the car.

It looks like he "chaved it up"

Imo he would be better getting all the crap off it and restoring it back to stock.

I've seen those photos before. It's a show car and definatly not one show I'd like to go to. All that money, wasted. He could have gotten a couple of Audi's

It actually makes me feel quite nauseous. Utter failure of both concept and execution. My only solace is that it isn't an R8 - that would have induced tears.
