Gold Mercedes C63 spotted in the UAE

January 25th, 2009

What else do you expect to find in the United Arab Eremites? The valet stand at the UAE Mall famous for an indoor ski lodge hosted this gold Mercedes C63 AMG the other day. This custom blue Bugatti Veyron was spotted inside the mall recently in a custom french racing blue that had us all going nuts. To get this C63 in gold they probably spent around the price of the whole car or close to it but somehow couldn’t splurge for wheels!?

Garage Saurus Ferrari 550 Maranello – Turbo V12 Edition

January 9th, 2009

Turbo Charged Ferrari 550 Maranello

Turbo Charged Ferrari 550 Maranello
The Italians think they built and engineered the natural aspirated V12 Ferrari 550 Maranello to perfection but of course the Japanese disagree. Garage Saurus has put it’s own JDM flare on the V12 Ferrari and done it right. They put on a twin turbo setup with a front mount intercooler. The body is mostly converted to carbon (hood,bumper,doors). The back of the 550 has integrated rear oil coolers inside the bumper sitting directly under the diffusers. The car is pushing over 1,000hp and flies around the racetrack!

9ff Porsche Cayenne Vantage GTR – 725hp SUV

January 2nd, 2009

9ff might be familiar to you from the past because they have pursued OEM top speed records to beat but they have a wide variety of tuning on tap for the Porsche market. This Cayenne packs a serious punch for any soccer mom with 725hp on tap. Some mean looking Batman like bodywork and a matte black finish give you the meanest and most powerful Cayenne SUV we have ever set eyes on. 9ff even makes a 911 headlight conversion to replace the SUV’s angular headlights with the round 911 ones.

Bentley GTC Attacks the Sand Dunes of the UAE

December 11th, 2008

You know I am not even sure we need to put text under this amazing video. This guy in the United Arab Emirates (better know for it’s major city Dubai) has taken his AWD Bentley and really put it to some good use. I don’t think this was a function of the AWD Bentley really considered while putting this car together but we enjoy it none the less. I wonder if he will fly it to London for an oil change as well?

Maybe Times Are Tough? Aston Martin Domino’s Pizza Delivery Car

December 11th, 2008

Splash News spotted this Aston Martin delivering pizza in 30 minutes or less. If Domino’s converted to an Aston Martin fleet I think that is a promise they could keep. Aside from the fact that a month’s salary from Domino’s could not fund an oil change in this machine we think it’s a spoof but still, very hilarious.

Only in Dubai: Exotic Bumper Cars

December 5th, 2008

This was sent to me by a friend who lives in Dubai. Instead of normal bumper cars your kids here can ram expensive exotic replica’s into one another. How exciting can you get for a young child? They are training kids for wreckedexotics.com early in life. We have debated at the office of the origin of the bumpers cars and cannot come to any agreement, any thoughts of a car they could be based off of?
