CEO of German marketing agency Visualis, Sven Ulrich, commissioned an artist to gild this Porsche Boxster in 22 carat gold -- a prelude, if you will, of a limited-edition model yet to be priced. It's not just the exterior that's gotten its bling on (and yes, "bling" truly is the most appropriate term here), but also the controls, steering wheel and door handles and alloy wheels. According to a press release, "it not only attracts attention, but also makes the hearts of men and women beat faster." We're not sure about that, but we'd imagine there are a few thieves with blowtorches whose hearts just skipped a beat or two. [Thanks to Jeb for the tip.]

Park the car in a porr neighbourhood and the side mirrors will be the first parts of the car to be missing.

pretty tacky if you ask me..

i can bet that that costs more than a Veyron.

I guess the big dogs in Dubai are already making plans efter seeing pictures of this extravaganza.

LOL LUW!!!! Surely there is a gold plated Carrera GT on the way form Dubai with its rear wheels inverted.

The filphy rich cats over there probably got nasty thoughts after seeing this pictures.
Then will probably end up creating a Platinum Murcielago roadster, with diamond encrusted xeon lights and top it of with a rag top made about of Kangaroo fur.

Quite tacky. I wonder if he's going to have the company name on the side of the car, I think it would be quite fitting.

Unique? Yes. Beautiful? No.

kinda reminds me of good old fifty-cent
