Post The Midas Touch: gold-plated Bugatti Veyron delivered to Middle East

Bare carbon fiber, chrome, French racing blue...Bugatti's done just about everything to the Veyron but plate it in gold. Oops, look like we spoke to soon, as our favorite Orwelian supercar has proven once again that all Veyrons are special, but some are more special than others.

Like the gold-plated Rolls-Royce Phantom DHC, this gilded Bugatti was ordered for delivery to the Middle East. But unlike the myriad Veyrons in the United Arab Emirates, this one has been purchased by a Kuwaiti customer just up the Persian Gulf coast, who reportedly actually drives it in between the occasional $10,000 detailing jobs and storage in a climate-controlled chamber.

Generally speaking, we're not big fans of this particular brand of wretched excess, but as far as gold-plated, seven-figure supercars go, the gold-and-tan combination is relatively tasteful

When reading the title of this thread I was expecting to see something hideous and distasteful. Upon opening and seeing the pic, I have to admit, it looks pretty damn good

Not bad at all! It almost blends in in a desert environment like that. Any more pics?

A fellow member and I discussed that combo (gold+tan). I thought it would look good but it looks better than I thought.
