The Golden Porsche: With Love From Russia
Posted in Automobile, Car, Gold, Luxury on 7 July 2008

Golden Porsche
Russia was in news days back for unveiling alien cars with little knowledge that it had its eyes upon marking a bling statement as well. And if that 24-carat gold encrusted wheels or Bentley’s Gold-bathed coupe failed to invite your attention then here is a feast for your eyes. The second model of Porsche comes slapped with gold and is all set to burn the roads. The jazzy Porsche 911 is from Russia and would sit quietly in any filthy-rich’s parking lot as it is layered with around 40 pounds of the pure gold, making the proud owner think and rethink for taking it out in dusty environs.

It’s “Khokhloma style” tail comes festooned with gold. But it is not the end. The floor mats of the Porsche 911 are designed to gel with its glitzy face. It seems to declare that Russia bleeds Gold.
After a long oration, now I allow you to roll over the pics:

Hummer H3: Most Expensive Remote Controlled Coupe
Posted in Automobile, Car, Designer, Technology on 4 July 2008

Not all have time, money and wits to unveil revolutionary creations. And it is well exemplified by Dr. James Brighton latest offering of a remote controlled gas guzzling Hummer H3. It took him almost a month to deliver this first ever radio controlled vehicle. But this feature-packed and unique model doesn’t come easy and hence demands $70,000. If you have a heart to meet this ceiling price, then it is possible for you to play pranks leaving your friend inside it and monitoring it in the direction opposite to your friends’ willingness. But I advise you to be cautious as seemingly tricks can wreck up everything.

Gold-Plated Customized Bike Costs $500,000
Posted in Automobile, Exhibitions, Luxury, Luxury Brands on 4 July 2008

Customized Bike
Every automobile exhibition carries with it some element of bling to restrain the attention of its elite customers’. And the customary ritual is being practiced at the ongoing International Motocycle show in Seattle offering a radiant wheel structure. You may call it chopper and she may label it as an artistic masterpiece but to me it seems no less than a functional sculpture. True, there is no dearth of ornamented wheels i.e. £9,500 Gold Bicycle, $800,000 ASI’s Bentley, bejeweled low-rider tricycle and others but the revolutionary offering of gold-plated custom chopper demands $500,000.

I am sure the filthy-rich would like to ink this neat deal as there is no other way to value their piled up dough. After a long oration, I now take a long breath and would allow you to enjoy a virtual ride over this chopper. Enjoy the video of the Custom Star Yamaha with similar looks that was featured at the 2007 International Motorcycle Show
