mercedes slr mclaren 999 red gold

Oh well… so a Mercedes SLR 999 is too plain for taste, so it was given a makeover with gold and rubies. The Anliker McLaren has exhaust tips and rims coated with 24-carat gold, and the Anliker logos that are present at a number of places in the car are covered in gold as well. There’s plenty of gold right there, in that car; but apparently, that didn’t quite hit the bling-meter to the ceiling, so they added a whole load of rubies, precisely, 500 of them.

Performance enhancements come with a new front splitter, a rear spoiler, a new diffuser and engine tuning. Power output of the engine goes up to 999hp, and the top speed goes up 9mph to 217mph. All that bling comes for a whopping $4.3 million. 500 LEDs have gone into the bodywork to enhance visibility, well, you don’t want to get a single scratch on that thing… ever.
