Fancy driving a James Bond inspired car? Well, the golden wheeled Dartz Prombron Car is just what you’d love. The car will be gold-encrusted armored SUV sporting gold wheels with sculpted 50-caliber bullets. And if these wheels haven’t taken your breath away, get a hold of this. The car will also have a gold tint to its windows and a galvanically-coated gold snake skin vinyl covering the seats. And these aren’t just ordinary seats with an expensive seat cover. These seats are straight out of Boris Yeltsin’s Presidential plane.

Now you probably are wondering how James Bond came to inspire this piece of luxury. Remember “The Man with the Golden Gun” movie? Well, this simply is The Car with the Golden Wheels. And for your safety, the vehicle packs a solid gold Mauser hand gun with solid gold bullets for your golden safety.

The glam quotient of Abu Dhabi has just been pushed further up in sync with escalating gold price by unveiling a gold-dispensing machine. Touted to be the most expensive hotel, Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace has just installed a ATM-style kiosk that can dispense small bars up to 10 grams or coins with customized designs. The brain behind this luxurious concept is German entrepreneur, Thomas Geissler. This is Geissler’s first international foray for its “Gold to Go” brand. Are you wondering why Abu Dhabi was chosen to unveil this first of its kind gold dispensing machine? You should understand that Abu Dhabi is home to about 90 percent of the U.A.E.’s oil reserves. This in turn has supported its economy to sustain the global credit crunch in a much better manner when compared to its glamorous neighbor Dubai.

The machine was developed by TG Gold-Super- Markt, a brand of Ex Oriente Lux AG.
