    Hey gang !

    Just found this —-> http://in.news.yahoo.com/blogs/fullthrottle/behold-muammar-gaddafi-libyan-rocket-060028693.html#mwpphu-container

    Looks like a couple of cars i know ,
    Front lights – like that of a Ferrari 458 Italia , though a bit extended
    Front Bumper – Lambo
    Logo or whatever that is , resembles an Alfa Romeo grille .

    Or am I being too cynical ?

    It looks like a piece of crap, in my opinion.

    Looks like a Renault Vel Satis crossed with a Infiniti and some gusts of Alfa, Ferrari and Lambo thrown in.

    “and asked for an original car using Libyan materials including marble, leather and fabric.”

    Marble? In a car?

    I want marble in a car. Along with an onyx dashboard, oak beams and a drinks globe. Proper opulence.

    Agree with Dan Thorn there, Put in leather seats, fith fabric patches and the same in the doors. Would be amazing to have actual marble in the dashboard panels and door panels!

    My apologies to you BasCB, and to Dan Thorn. What was I thinking of? Allowing my imagination to be constricted by custom and logic, huh!
    Let’s really go for it, oak beams as you say, marble on the dashboard – great. And let’s re-style this machine a little so we can grow grass on the roof – and the hood! Let’s go further and have a neat little pitch ‘n’ put facilty from the hood, over the roof to a hole on the boot/trunk. And what about a whirlpool hot-tub in the trunk?
    Damn, let’s really go to town and loose that V6 engine in favour of a small nuclear reactor so that the entire car glows in the dark – you wouldn’t need lights then!
    This would be the last car you’d ever own. And the only optional extra would be a lead and marble sarcophogus.
