It's probably for the better that dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago, as they would have probably mutinied against mankind for the way in which some tuning specialists out there are using some of their relatives.
The Russians from TopCar, for example, might have a bone to pick with reptiles and crocodiles in particular.
About one in every other project car they made in the last couple of years or so has had its interior garnished with the skins of hundreds of crocodiles and the Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG in the following photos is a perfect example for their hate of reptiles.
As you can see, pretty much every surface you can touch inside this G 65 AMG has been sprinkled with bits and pieces of crocodile leather, while the rest is engulfed in “regular” cow hide and “checkered flag” carbon fiber.
Do we find it tacky? You betcha, especially since the crocodile skin has also been painted red. It's not like we've always longed to sit on bloody reptiles but hey, to each his own.
