Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show in Sharjah
Nicknamed 'Gold-Zilla' for its looks and powerful performance, this extraordinarily rare piece is valued at nearly AED3.67m ($1m), offering a unique blend of mechanical power and dynamic artistic innovation.
Based on a 2014 Nissan GT-R, the vehicle is fully covered in intricate 24K gold-plated engravings. This one-of-a-kind creation was designed by Japan's Kuhl Racing and Japanese artist Takahiko Izawa, with the entire body hand-engraved before being finished in gold.
It took more than 2,000 hours to complete the detailed work.
