Gold Plated Porsche 911 Cabriolet in Russia

|
So what happens when you don't get enough street cred - even with a Porsche 911 (996) Cabriolet? Well, you could go and buy a more expensive car like a Porsche Carrera GT for example, or you could opt for the Midas touch. Just like the owner of this Porsche 911 Cabriolet in Russia who meticulously covered his entire car with gold plates -more than 40 pounds or 18kg of gold to be exact. An atrocity to say the least. -More pics after the jump

Most of us are trying to reduce the weight of out Porsche. What a waste of time and money.

guys, it is not a traditional tune-up. It's RUSSIA!!! They dont give a damn about the performance of a particular car, they make it unique and that what count most. That kind of guy, belive me, has an Aston, and not even one, a couple of S63 Mercedeses as a guards car following him everywhere. Maybach,Bently, whatsoever, etc. It is not about the money anymore. :-)

Agree with the last comment, also, in my honest opinion I think it looks totally awesome painted like that. Its unique to say the least. If the guy has the money, the time and likes cars and uniqueness, why not?

It's a shame that people think the answer to someone else's dream coming true is to "key it". Emm Ohh, you are a gutless wonder vandal who has no place around cars.

I had a friend who saved his money and bought a 'Vette, then after 3 more years of saving had a custom paint job; second day out some jealous coward a$$hole keyed both sides and the hood. Insurance wouldn't cover the custom paint so it went back to stock colour.

I don't particularly like this car, but all the power to him if he has the money, it's his car.
