Gold-covered Lamborghini - USD 550,000 vehicle presented

As if the Lamborghini Aventador's V12 engine, top speed of 350 km/h and 700 horse power weren't enough, Lamborghini Miami went and covered the entire vehicle in gold. Its price is $550,000.

- When you combine the two you have a true piece of performing art which becomes a double whammy of the two highest valued commodities on the market today: gold and Lamborghinis - Brett David, owner of Prestige Imports, which includes Lamborghini Miami, told HuffPost Miami.

The dealer unveiled its one-of-a-kind Aventador AU79 at its monthly Exotics and Espressos event on June 16. Though they decline to say how much gold was used, the price tag is an extra $50,000 over the usual half-million sticker shock for an Aventador.

It normally takes up to 30 hours to wrap a car, David said, but the gold foil took 70 days to complete at Auto SuperShield in Boca Raton.

David said the company decided to pursue the AU79 project because they "think outside the box." Just last year, the company also revealed a Lamborghini Gallardo covered with intricate Sharpie artwork.
