Mercedes McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream By Ueli Anlicker
|
Swiss billionaire Ueli Anlicker is selling his Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Red Gold Dream. It has a 1000 horsepower engine, 600 rubies and diamonds and is covered by gold. So you can buy this car if you have $11,000,000.
Swiss businessman Ueli Anliker is selling the one-off supercar after transforming it using a team of 35 workers who spent a total of 30,000 man hours and more than £3.5 million. He has renamed the 200mph plus Merc the 'Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream'.
But his design changes have fallen flat, with Top Gear saying the paintwork could 'burn a hole through your eyes and into your nightmares'. The garish body has 25 layers of red paint with 5kg of gold dust worked into it. Each of the car's wheels are covered in 24 carat gold as are the headlights and door sills. And the car's supercharged 5.4-litre engine has had power boosted from 640bhp to 999bhp - giving it a top speed of more than 210mph.
