Luxury Beyond Limits: Dubai's Exceptional Gold and Gem-Encrusted Lamborghini
Dubai's avant-garde highways are no strangers to supercars, but a groundbreaking Lamborghini, constructed entirely from gold and adorned with precious gems, is set to capture everyone's attention.
Sculpted from a solid 500-kilogram block of gold, the final masterpiece incorporates 25 kilograms of this coveted metal. The starting bid for the upcoming auction stands at $7.5 million, with $650,000 earmarked for charitable causes, as per the manufacturer's official website.
The seller estimates the worth of precious metals and gemstones on the car to be $2.64 million. This bespoke model of the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4, meticulously crafted at a 1:8 scale by RGE Robert Gulpen Engineering in Germany, is making its debut outside of Europe.
Titled as the world's most expensive model car, it lacks many of the detailed motoring specifications that car enthusiasts typically admire. The full-sized car, however, boasts a powerful V12 engine generating 700 bhp, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds. Its fighter-jet-inspired design contours have captivated automotive journalists, leading to intriguing comparisons on various airfields.
A notable detail is that the model hasn't been physically produced yet, allowing for customization based on individual customer preferences. The displayed prototype, showcased in a Dubai showroom with relatively lenient security during a Tuesday morning visit, provides a glimpse of what's to come.
