Mercedes SL 600 full of Diamonds worth $4.8million

4.8M wow. and diamonds worth 4.7 Million of that.

anyway, there are many here in UAE too who do such type of things, i have heard many similar stories but in most of them the car was Mercedes.

like a UAE coustomer ordered an ML55 AMG but wanted 700BHP and 6 tailpipes(3 on each side), another case, again a UAE coustomer went to MB along with 4 kilo gram of pure gold powder, he ordered SL65 AMG and wanted his car to be painted diamond black and the gold powder to be mixed with the paint. ete etc etc.

Mercedes is undoubtley considered the most prestigeous brand here in Middle East.

JUGNU

Someone needs to put that car out of its misery.

Dear Autospies,

At what point does bigotry and ignorance become enough to ban. Even in satire genocide is never acceptable. Having comments like this on you website just lowers its journalistic integrity.

Hater, you want to lessen OPEC influence, quit buying oil.

Looks like the comment you were referring to has been deleted.

I would have rather put gold flakes in a nice black paint and have the gold glitter instead of this overdone glitter ball. It's a cool concept in theory but in practice it looks awful. When I first saw it I thought it was crazy but now it's just out of this world. Two thumbs down.

By the way it ruined a beautiful car. One of the most high end luxury sports-GT coupe/roadsters in the market. What a shame.

And there are starving children in the world :-(

Thats a car i wouldnt mind exchanging paint with in a fender bender

haha my comment got deleted

c'mon agents, I was saying it made me feel 'happy'.

Saw this in a chain email. The money for our high gas prices have to go somewhere per that email.

Not exactly... 300,000 Swarovski crystals. And it was an exhibit for DUB Magazine, not some sheik. Some idgit will be blastin' 50 cent rollin' on 20s...

I thought it had to be something strange...they would have to be industrial class diamonds like they use on cutting blades and PDC bits to drill oil wells, in to cover the car for a mere $4.7 million.

Some people live in a strange world- I swear. If you want a nice normal looking not-too-flashy diamond wedding ring, but set with very good quality diamonds it will cost $60,000 or so depending on the size.

As sort of a tangent, I had friend who lived in an older condo building here, and right after he moved in a very old woman who lived there died. As I recall, her jewelery collection was the largest single private jewelry collection ever auctioned by Christie's. There were single pieces that were sold for more than $4.8 million dollars.

Exactly...lol. some people believe everything...HAH! But peeps in the UAE have insane disposable income. I wonder what the average income is or as usual only to those with powerful friends?!?

Now that is the dumbest thing I have seen in a long time !!!! I guess the rest of the world is paying for that crap to with the gas prices that bastard !!!

LOL

Gotta love snopes.com... gets to the truth!

It is amazing how much people hate the Rich.

The vehicle pictured above is COVERED WITH CRYSTALS and not Diamonds as suggested by the article.

So HATER you can go hang yourself in your Barn, its not the Arabs' fault you sister has refused your sexual advances and your pickup is worth approx a third of what you paid last month for it.

The rest of the world makes do on almost Double the price of gas in the USA and they do not Bitch about it.

Is it our fault you do not have Diesel Fueled Vehicles ?

When i am in the USA I do not Bitch about Petrol Prices and i spend $140 a week on gas at the very least.

If your income is Low do something about it.

Stop blaming the world for your shortcomings and change your buying habits.

If you look real hard you can find Diesel Powered Vehicled in the USA and you could enjoy 35-65mpg like the rest of us.

I am self employed and get to travel the World, Leeching is reserved for Idiots like yourself who spend all day Feeling Sorry for themselves and Blaming Everybody Else.

How many of those People SAVED any money during the good times ?
How many of those People voted for your Crazy Current Administration ?
How many of those People are in homes Way Too Expensive for them to afford comfortably ?

I admit there are many trapped with the Crash through no fault of their own but the vast majority of the sufferers are responsible for their distress.

I and my friends are enjoying PROFITS from the Housing Market Crash in the USA & UK

I told you.

If you Look Real Hard, there is always a way to turn negative looking situations into Positive Realities

I will not reply to Haters' hateful comment, but he should be banned.

Yes, I am an arab, does that make me a terrorist?

Everytime I see idiotic comments like this, I wonder about wtf you people are being told.
