Gold plated Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Gold plated Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

This United Arab Emirates-registered gold-mirror-finish Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG was caught at the Bling on Wheels Show, otherwise known as the valet area at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. While we have nothing untoward to say about someone who decks out his/her ride in any manner desired, we are always intrigued when someone looks to have spent the worth of a car – on top of the price of the car itself – on "beautification."


There is some debate as to whether this is a real paint job or a wrap, but parking your gold-wrapped C63 next to a genuinely chrome SLR would be shamefully ludicrous. A C63 AMG goes for about 300,000 AED (about $82,000 USD). Unless gold paint bubbles out of the ground as well, a liquid gold paint job has to cost a good portion of that.

Cayenne Turbo S: The Most Powerful Porsche

RIGHT out of left field from Porsche at the weekend’s Auto China 2008 motor show in Beijing came the world premiere of the Cayenne Turbo S.

Hot on the heels of the Cayenne S-based GTS and due on sale here later this year at a price of $265,500 (representing a massive $50,300 price premium over the $215,500 Cayenne Turbo), the S version of Porsche’s top-shelf super-SUV packs a host of performance enhancements.

Top of the list is an extra 36kW of power and 50Nm of torque, making the 404kW/750Nm Turbo S not only the most powerful Cayenne, but the most powerful Porsche currently available.via

Fuel Issues Against Audi’s A4 Platform

AUDI will explore a number of A4 derivatives as it seeks to shrink the sales gap between its compact luxury range and the Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series – but has signalled that fuel quality issues could limit the prospects of new-generation green diesel engines being launched in Australia.

At one end of the scale will be the expected S and RS performance models, while more fuel-efficient cars with an environmental slant dominate the other side.more...

Citroen C-Crosser And Peugeot 4007 SUVs Coming Closer

MITSUBISHI Motors Corporation has announced it will shift production of the Outlander-based Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007 from Japan to Europe, increasing the chances of both French compact SUVs going on sale here sooner rather than later.

As we recently reported, MMC was reorganising its Mizushima production facility at Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture, which had originally committed to building 30,000 exampes annually for PSA Peugeot-Citroen consumption in Europe.

Following unexpectedly strong demand for the seven-seat joint-venture wagon in Europe - especially the UK, where the country's first full year of C-Crosser supply was sold out within a week - Peugeot Australia boss Rob Dommerson said earlier this year that he hoped a plan to build the 4007/C-Crosser in a Russian factory would increase supplies enough to launch the 4007 here.more...
