A Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 that is made up of carbon fibre and covered in a thin layer of pure gold is set to be auctioned in 2014 for a mind-blowing 4.6-million-pound-price.
The rest of the body is made up of 25 kilograms of precious metal and has been carved out of a 500-kilogram block of 22-carat gold, the Independent reported.
A large part of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity by Lamborghini.
A 1:8 scale prototype of the car, designed by German engineer Robert Gulpen, is currently on display at the Lamborghini showroom in Dubai since September and is available for 200,000 pounds.
The full-sized car will feature a V12 engine producing 700 bhp.
