Recession? What recession? So, it seems that this “global recession” has not
impacted negatively on everyone. Check this out! It’s a Mercedes Benz owned
by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).

Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and
2800nm of torque 0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs running
on biofuel.

That is NOT stainless steel, people, it is WHITE GOLD! I’m sure you’ll sleep
better tonight, knowing that the exorbitant dollars you’re paying for gas these
days are at least going to a good cause...


There are more pics up on that site.

They should put a picture of this car on every gas pump.

Interesting that it runs on biofuel. Is that akin to a successful drug dealer not using his own product?

commodity futures speculation is the cause of the oil price issues. no reason to whinge about the guy with the fancy car in the sandy part of the planet, he's not the main issue.

I dunno, that much power and speed would either make me nauseous or kill me.

It's CosmiChromed....

Not a fan. I prefer cars that have real paint on them.


(The jury is still out on that new Matte finish that Mercedes is playing around with)

Exactly. I question if you can even wax a car with paint like that...
