This is some crazy stuff...

MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - A Porsche 911 plated with real gold and worth an estimated $600,000 was stolen on Friday afternoon in the southeast of Moscow, a police source said.

The officer said that the owner of the exclusive vehicle had decided to sell the car and found a client via the Internet. The client arrived to take a look at the "Golden Porsche" and after two laps of test drive on a parking lot near the Volgogradskoye highway sped off in an unknown direction.

"After waiting for him to return, the owner turned to the police for help," the source said.

According to the owner, he used some 20 kg (about 45 lbs) of real gold to upgrade his car, which had an initial price of $120,000.

Just :confused: How can you trust someone to 'test drive' a 600K Porsche? No GPS-following system, no-one has seen a golden P-car no nothing. Damn

I call bull**** on it being real gold. I am not positive but i don't think you can gold plate large pieces of plastic like a bumper fascia, or how did they gold plate the welded panels of the car? Its chrome paint with gold kandy over it. Jayare what do you do all day long?

Those guys are probably crazy enough to remake all the panels in metal just so the gold will stick... regardless... FAIL...

Just go buy a gold hot wheel for a $1 and put it on a shelf. What a waste of time and resources, IMO...
