Exclusive Mercedes SLR with Gold and Rubies!

This is the Swiss businessman, Ueli Anliker's McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream. Why? He’s taken a classy, exclusive Mercedes McLaren SLR for a transformation! Anliker was apparently not satistfied with his car and went on a mission to transform it into his vision of the perfect SLR. A team of 35 people worked on it, spending 30,000 hours and over £ 3.5 million ($5.5 million) . The transformed vehicle is called the Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream. He’s made changes to the paintwork, wheels, interiors and even the engine. Twenty-five layers of red paint with 5kg of gold dust were used on the body of the car. The wheels, headlights and door sills are all covered in 24 carat gold. The indicators inside the car are jeweled, the seat covers and interiors gold trimmed, and the switchgear is covered in rubies. The power on the existing 5.4 litre engine has been boosted to 999bhp from 640bhp. This has caused the top speed to increase to 210 mph. A total of 600 rubies have been used in re-decorating the exclusive Mercedes. Mr Anliker is now selling the Mercedes with a 'minimum' price-tag of £7 million [~$11-million] - making it the world's most expensive vehicle for sale on the open market. The price of the original vehicle, £300,000 ($470,000), looks very small when compared to this.
