Another beautiful 722 in Dubai

I'm having some interior & exterior work done to my car at a shop that deals with a lot of exotics, yesterday it was full of Aston's, a few Bentley, Lambo's and something for the SLR boys;





Unfortunately the pictures do not do this beast justice; anodized red, blacked out headlights, also with carbon fiber front lip, rear spoiler and diffuser. When the sun hits it, the color cast is amazing.

Definately the hottest SLR I've seen, when I go back for my appointment on the 1st I'm going to bring my DSLR and get some great pics of it if it's still there.

lol, nope, not quite, the C63 is Dubai's version of the Civic in North America - it seems like every second kid has one here and unfortunately they drive them like the typical riced up Civic driver back home too... Now, I should make sure I say that not all of them are idiots, I know a few guys that have C63's and are really great guys.

On the topic of SLR's, there are quite a few stunning SLR's here and the real treat is seeing 722's like the one above, just an amazing piece of kit. Seeing a ton of SLS's around town these days now too, some with custom body kits. Mercedes has such a massive following here, I love it!

The manager of the shop where the car was done at is a friend of mine so if that is indeed your car, I know who you are. Shoot me a PM and let me know when you are going to be back in Dubai. I'm having some more work done there now, picking up on Sunday.

wow, that is awesome, i love the matt finish. It looks cool with the arabic number plate too, that is something you don't see everyday (unless you live in Dubai of course). Are there still exotic cars abandoned in the streets? I saw some pictures a while ago of loads of cars being left to gather sand and worse as people were suffering the effects of the financial problems there.

I've been here for almost 7 years and during the whole economic crash I never saw one exotic actually abandoned on the street - hundreds of other cars though but they were all at the airport. I had lot's of friends send me pics of 'abandoned exotics' but most the pictures were actually pics of cars that were taken by police because of the savage way the people were driving here - they took the cars and parked them in a compound for the duration of the driving suspension, some were never collected.

Now, saying that, there were in fact some exotics that the owners (majority were Indian businessmen) defaulted on the loans and ran away but the actual quantity was blown way out of proportion. Ahhhh the internet

The streets of Dubai and Abu Dhabi are still like an exotic car show, some just got a little too carried away with the (now famous phrase) Dubai Dream. More 722 pics coming soon!
