Opulence is usually built on the suffering of other people, like the Romanovs or Saddam. But in Dubai, opulence is built on oil money and sand.
Thus Dubai sports coupe has plenty of opulence. The C63 AMG Coupe has been nicely wrapped in brushed gold metallic foil and looks as shiny as a new penny. There are a couple of blemishes in the vinyl here and there, but overall it's an attractive package.
Is it overdone? Maybe in Europe it would have been, but Dubai malls have ATM machines that trade gold bars. So no, a gold car in a country where you buy gold just like you pay your bills is not overdone.
