The Unfortunately Trashy Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

How the tables have turned on Dubai. At one point Dubai was boasting a $37 billion-something economy and was touted as the luxury capital of the world. Due to rapid real estate expansion and declining oil prices, Dubai finds itself in debt just a few months later. Yet from the looks of it, no one would know Dubai is suffering or borrowing money.

In October we brought you the outrageous, fully chrome Mercedes-Benz SLR.  The shiny sports car was just sitting outside the Emirates mall in Dubai. Well, here we go again. This time its a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and this time its fully gold plated not chrome silver. This way intense gold Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sits right where its silver counterpart used to, out front of the Emirates mall in Dubai. The flashy, borderline trashy, gold-mirror finish was, of course, an aftermarket decision. The cost of adding this gold plated precious metal finish is unknown, but what we would rather know is why someone felt the need to ruin a perfectly good Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG? The silver chromed Benz was enough bling to last a lifetime, the second time around its just dull.
