It's Not Stainless Steel!

This was emailed to me today by my mom and I figured I'd share.

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 2800 nm of torque
0-100 km/h in less than 2 sec., 1/4 mile in 6.89 sec.
running on bio-fuel.

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...

NOW BACK TO WORK !

wow thanks OPEC!

I believe is in stock at Gordons.

0-100 km/h in less than 2 sec

Unless they actually did this and have video I call BS. It is impossible to get the traction for that sort of speed out of a street car.

2.5 sec 0-60

2.9sec 0-60

2.7sec

and that new porsche turbo pulls it in 2.8 as well... it is doable.

CrownR426 · 03-12-2010, 09:26 AM

That's hot.

CBRich · 03-12-2010, 09:51 AM

That Merc says in LESS THAN 2 secs. The amount of extra power and traction required to go from the 2.5 secs of the Veyron to under 2 secs would be ridiculous.

Chupacabra · 03-12-2010, 09:56 AM

I never said it was easy... just that its doable. Probably not repeatable, but doable.

fullmonty · 03-12-2010, 06:39 PM

Ya pretty sick ride huh? Just bought one myself

HKYStormFront · 03-12-2010, 07:03 PM

i can understand customizing a car but spending money for the sake of spending money is just rediculous... it's not like the SLR was slow or didn't sound good enough, especially the 722s

That pic is old... chromes out car...haha

And running on bio-diesel to boot?

Not chrome, white gold plating

theDreamer · 03-13-2010, 11:37 AM

Well chrome is the popular thing over there to do, but this one is white gold but I believe it is just a wrap.
