The most expensive (and ugliest) Mercedes SLR in the world
Top Gear calls it “something that could burn a hole through your eyes and your nightmares”, Swiss businessman Ueli Anliker calls it “the car of his dreams”.
We’re talking about the Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream.
Anliker went on a mission to create his vision of the perfect SLR, thiscar monster was the result.
The Red Gold Dream is being quoted as the world’s most expensive vehicle on the open market,
35 people worked on this car spending in total over 30 000 hours and over $5.5 million.
For the body of the car 25 layers of red paint with 5kg of gold dust were used. The wheels, headlights and door sills are all covered in 24carat gold.
The seat covers and interiors are gold trimmed, the switchgear is covered in rubies, and the indicators are jeweled. The horsepower has been boosted from 640bhp to 999bhp.
Surprisingly Anliker has put his “masterpiece” up for sale. He’s hoping on $11 million. The original $470 000 seems peanuts next to that.
