It’s not quite official yet, but gold is definitely in the running to become the next big trend for the ridiculously wealthy. So move over matte-black.

We’ve already brought you pictures of a gold C63 from Dubai.. and just a few weeks ago we posted some photos of a gold SLR from (where else), that same sunny desert location. Now the fad seems to be spreading and thanks to our palls over at Luxury4Play.com we have some shots of a gold Cayenne Turbo with what appears to be a SpeedArt Titan aero kit.

And it’s not just the body that’s gold either, check out those hideous wheels.

No doubt you remember the gold C63 AMG from a few months back, well, those crazy guys in Dubai are back at it again. Thanks to our friends over at Luxury4Play.com we have these images of a tremendously hideous gold SLR. Even the wheels weren’t spared in this ocular abortion. Thankfully our source tells us this is a wrap.

If you look closely in the pictures you can also spy a an SLR that appears to have Mansory’s Renovatio package. And what’s that even further back? Yup… that’s a black and gold Bugatti Veyron. Some guys have all the fun… and none of the taste.

We found these photos on SupercarsDubai.com – an excellent resource for photos of all sorts of ridiculous cars – and we just had to share them with you.

There’s no word on if this is a genuine paint job or just a wrap, but judging from the ripples in the paint we sure hope nobody (no matter how much money they have to blow) spent the big bucks on the real deal for this Mercedes C63.

What we can tell you is that the photos were taken outside the Mall of the Emirates (you know, that place with the indoor ski hill) in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Perhaps it’s all just a metaphor and the owner just wants to let the world know that he believes the 451hp C63 is worth its weight in gold.2e2l6w3
