Super exotic cars and gold goes hand in hand in the Gulf, and something similar has just happened in Qatar. Aventador has been one of the finest Lamborghinis in the 21st century and a business man in Qatar named Mr. Jaber Bin Abdallah Al Hmaidi had ordered a gold-plated Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to be modified for the Qatari National Day 2015. The company that made this happen is the Dubai-based Maatouk Design London.

The company's website states that it is designing and executing deluxe souvenir antiques and shields for kings, presidents, prime ministers and VIP's that meet all needs for all public and private occasions. This nowhere any mention anything like a car modification too.



There are several inserts of gold on the exterior as well as the interior. The alloy wheels, outside rear view mirrors, air vents, bumper, head lamps and a lot of other places too, get a lot of gold added on the outside. When it comes to inside, the steering wheel, centre console, instrument cluster get gold. Mechanically, the exotic supercar company retains the stock 687bhp LP700-4 engine. All the changes on the Aventador are cosmetic. The Aventador Roadster also gets Qatar National Day logos. The designers really melded well the Gulf finesse with the Italian styling. This is a design that will melt one's heart. The Lamborghini Aventador is one of its kind and there isn't any other gold-plated Aventador like this one, even if there is then it won't have the same styling, unless it is copied by someone else or Qatari businessman needs more of these cars.
