Diamond-covered Mercedes SL sure to turn heads

We thought 50 Cent’s chrome-covered Lamborghini Murcielago was pretty flashy, but even it can’t compare to this. Reader Jacob sent us photos that show a diamond-covered Mercedes SL-Class on display at an auto show overseas. We’re not sure if the diamonds are real, but either way it looks pretty outrageous. Whether or not that’s a good thing is up to you. We suspect Paris Hilton might be a fan. Images after the jump…

It amazes me how far people are willing to take bad taste. It makes 50 cent’s Lambo look tame. And that’s just sad.

Who ever did this should be shot. The SL is a beautiful car and this is just trashing it even more making it out to be some stupid bling rap wanna be car. whats worse is that it actually has two different wheel styles one pos chromed out one and and some other crappy huge wheel on the other.

Just to stay in the theme of bad taste…here is a link to a “gold plated” Delorean. Maybe it helps with the thermal and electro-magnetic conductivity needed for time travel? http://www.deloreanmotorcar.com/dmc/goldpix.htm

agreed with the guy who thinks it doesnt have the same wheels on eaither side. also is it me or does it look very photoshopped?! ok the diamonds may not come out well on camera but the wheels look very weird and altered - as if a colous filter has been put over them. Also just look at the seats…….

Definately different wheels. Wonder why. I’m almost positive that those are rhinestones on the car and not real diamonds.

It’s so over-the-top, it’s kinda cool. I mean, heck, it’s a show car. Have fun with it.

It does kind of looked Photoshopped to me. If it’s real, then I’m pretty sure it’s just covered with a hologrpaphic foil/vinyl material similar to what’s used in printing Hallmark cards. Either way, I hate it.

It does looked photoshopped, but about the wheels thing, its a new trend in the aftermarket community. A lot of people are beginning to put different sets of wheels on each side. Usually they just switch the colors out (i.e. one side is chrome with black accents, the other side is black with chrome accents) but more and more people are starting to put a whole different wheel.

Aftermarket car companies commonly put different wheel styles on each side of their show cars to show off their different wheel styles without requiring one car for every wheel style they sell. This way the car will appear “normal” in any one single pic, but of course not several as we have here.

Come on people! If that was REALLY covered in diamonds, then why isn’t there one single security guard around?
By the way Danielle (comment #39), you really shouldn’t call other people “dumbass” considering you can’t spell the word “probably”, not to mention that you said “that car could probaley(sic) give a whole state food”. How does a car give food?

It’s not Photoshopped, that is a Garson D.A.D. show car promoting their Crystal line of auto accessories. Garson also make wheels so they’re displaying two sets at once, which is clever and often done. It’s not going to be driven and I doubt it could even be registered even if someone did buy it.

As for what covers them? Def. not diamonds, but since Garson uses a lot of crystal, that’s my guess.

I would so love to see a truck run over this thing, with the person who actually paid for it inside.

[...] I don’t think you’ll be able to hire this diamond-covered Mercedes spotted at a recent car show from your average Avis or Hertz dealer, but I couldn’t resist giving it a mention anyway for its sheer over-the-top extravagance.  I’m sure the bad news (if you wanted such an ugly looking vehicle in the first place), but the good news is that it shouldn’t scratch too easily!

Im sure the kids finding the dimonds for that car are really proud. The trade in diamonds has been a key factor in fuelling internal armed conflict human rights abuses in Sierra Leone and its neighbouring countries, Guinea and Liberia. BUT KEEP ON BLING’IN
