Hey, if I had a shitload of oil money, I’d probably make everything from my kid to my dog to my iPhone gold-plated. Such is the case in Kuwait, where some rich motherfucker owns a $1.75 million Bugatti Veyron. As you’re probably well aware, the Veyron is the creme de la creme of street legal automobiles. This time, it’s kicked up about 100 notches with a gold paint job that makes it look absolutely stunning. In fact, it’s so stunning, the car “requires” a $10,000 detail job and “is stored in a climate-controlled atmospheric chamber inside the garage.”

A bit too much, even for a sultan. Right? I’ll stick with my gold-spraypainted Geo Tracker thank you very much.

I could sit here and blab to you about the design of Aston Martin’s latest car, the One-77 but really, the design speaks for itself. Even James Bond is getting wide eyes when he lays his eyes on this beauty.

77 of these supercars will be made and each one has had a near $300,000 deposit plunked down without having ever seen the entire vehicle. Considering the economy, that’s a hefty bit of change, even for the wealthy. After the jump, pics galore and some scarce details.
