    Is Dubai some kind of sports car hot spot or something?



    More of a "rich people" hot spot.
    But very nice weather, very good food, very nice and generous people if you treat them with respect and a beautiful architecture, not to forget about the only 7-star hotel in the world.

    BTW: BS is a very famous middle eastern rallye and race car driver, he loves fast cars and has a collection.
    I heard that he is a good family father too and that he has to hide the car keys from his kid(s).

    Re: slr engine in slk "55 amg"!!!

    His name is Mohammad Bin Sulayem and has won the Middle East rally championship around 14 times.. Of coures to the locals he is nothing but a hero. However, a lot of people wondered why didn't he move to WRC or other international rallies.

    As far as his personal side is concerned, I have not met anyone who knows this guy and said anything remotely nice about him. He has an extremely bad attitude and thinks he is god's gift to the world of motorsport.

    Of course all his years in the middle east rally would not buy him a lamborghini let alone Enzos, CGTs, SLRs, etc. However, due to his close ties to the royals in Dubai he ownes almost every exotic that was produced in the last 20 years.

    Somebody just told me that this is a VERY GOOD photorealistic professional PRINT on the front hood, looks like real holes with a real engine but it isn't. Can someone confirm this?

    Now that you mentioned it I can see the pixilated areas around the edges and it does look fake indeed.

    If those were really "windows" in the car's hood, you would see different components in each of the 3 views, as they are taken from a different angle. If you look at them closely, all 3 images are the same, indicating that they are just 2-dimensional prints.

    Re: slr engine in slk "55 amg"!!!

    As you can see in this photoshop I did, it is NOT a 2-dimensional sticker or anything like that.
    Check the two circles and notice how the angle very clearly changes in the two pics.
    It's either manipulated in photoshop (which I find highly improbable) or the owner was lame enough to cut the ugliest hole in any car I've ever seen.

    At any rate, I bet you it's the real deal.

    Re: slr engine in slk "55 amg"!!!

    Yep Dr.Phil..At firstt I thought it was a photoshop(quite good imo ), but I started to think in what you have already said..."lets see it from another angle, and see if all matches the same"...and well with your 2pics, it gives 2 possible answer:1)it is photoshop by a super-professional2)it is not photoshop...which I think it isn't...Dubai is the right place for these "strange" and particular cars..Dubai is the paradise of the most expensive and rare cars of the planet

    Re: slr engine in slk "55 amg"!!!

    I doubt it is the real deal, have you ever seen the SLR engine and gearbox/drivetrain? Impossible to fit this thing into a SLK 55, even if the guys from Westcoast Custom would pimp this ride.
