Ooops, I just re-read the email my Aunt sent me - and the car is in Abu Dhabi, not Dubai (same thing basically)...

Anyway, I updated first post with this info that was sent with the pics:

"It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi
oil billionaire (naturally).

Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo
with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque
0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs
running on biofuel.

That is NOT stainless steel, people; it is WHITE GOLD!"

Is crystal-coating is less played out?

Garson/DAD's SL600 @ DUB Magazine's Custom Auto Show, encrusted with 300,000 Swarovski crystals & worth about $1 million.

White Gold Plated is an old concept?... I dont think I've seen it before.

And none of the cars you posted are 1600hp that does a 1/4 in less than 7 seconds...

The car in first post is definitely unique.

Lol, don't believe everything you read in e-mails. This is pretty old now and it's pretty much known it won't run under 7 secs.

really... where is it listed that it wont run under 7 sec?... on various forums like this?

btw, the email was just a copy of a web site:
http://www.wheel-o-sophy.com/2009/11...-benz-spotted/

I guess the next response is don't believe everything you read on the internet... which really mean unless you see it happen, it didn't?

oh I get it....

The second post was in quotes - I was just copying what the email said - which is basically from the site linked a couple posts above.

It wasnt "me" saying "it's not ss"... BTW, I never said SS anyway, I initially thought it was chrome plated...

You're telling me that an SLR looking like that will run a 1/4 mile more than a second faster than a 1900hp viper?
