Chrome Lamborghini Murcielago



I have seen some pretty wild looking super cars over the years. I mean lets face it, most of the people out there that have enough money to plop down hundreds of thousands of dollars also have enough money to customize and paint them however they want.

Well the owner of this Lamborghini Murcielago is no different. I guess he did not want to have the same old plain Jane Murcielago that every other rich guy out there had, so he had it painted chrome! That is right, a Chrome Lamborghini Murcielago! How unusual is that? Probably not very unusual in Dubai where this super car was spotted.

Wild Looking Lamborghini Murciélago In Paris



Check out this video of an unusual lime green Lamborghini Murcielago complete with wild looking flames and a K-design kit. This radical looking lambo was found parked out front of the Hotel Bristol in Paris. If you notice when the camera pans out across the street there is a white Aston Martin DB9, and a red Mercedes SLR. All three of these cars were owned by the same person. What a lucky guy!

We should all be so lucky as this guy owning three extremely nice super cars. If this is what he takes with him when he travels, imagine what he has at home sitting in the garage!
