I like the artwork details on the porsche, overall not a fan of the gold look. The chrome A8 owns all. The ultimate expression of baller status.

actually the united arab emraites dosent control very much oil at all. the only reason dubia is a true econimc player at the moment is because they have invested dubia land into the richpeople vacation spot of the world. Unfortantly most of the rich people in the world are now cutting back on spending so most of the proposed realestate that dubia had planned on banking on has now been dumped due to rough economic times. Dubia is solely based on realestate not oil.

In 2008 they were actually the second country with the most annual income/supplier for oil; second to Saudi Arabia.

However, I agree with you that real estate is also a major revenue.

That "chrome" audi has popped up on here quite a few times over the years.
Unfortunately I don't believe it is chrome, so much as the sheet metal of the car being polished out to a high shine. Does anyone know how much weight that much chrome would add to the car???...... a lot.

Created by German tuning shop and Audi specialist, Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) for a client in Dubai, this MTM-tuned A8 also happens to be really really (really) shiny. The original paint was completely stripped to the metal (and plastic) using the finest-grained sandpaper this side of a baby's bonnet. Then, the metal parts were polished to a high gloss, while the plastic parts were layered in a chrome-emulating series of paints and varnishes. Afterward, the 4.2-liter V8 was also tweaked to 450hp, a custom, ride-leveling suspension was installed and a set of really (really) shiny MTM rims were fitted.

Personally, I've always liked the stainless steel look of the DeLorean. An SS version of a RS model would be sweet
