Eike Batista keeps SLR McLaren in living room

kewl :shocked:



Quote
Asked if he isn't afraid to wear his gold Rolex watch in Rio, Batista scoffs. ``We can't do things differently just because the city has a crime problem,'' he says. Batista isn't shy about telling the media that he owns a $26 million Embraer Legacy 600 business jet, a $19 million Pershing 115 luxury yacht and a $1.7 million speedboat whose engines have to be changed after each race. In the living room of his mansion in Rio's Jardim Botanico neighborhood, Batista has parked a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The latest model lists for about $500,000.

Apart from the fact that cars are meant to be driven... please, an SLR?!  :roll: A Ferrari 250 GT California Spider... that is a piece of art work. I'd gladly had this car sitting in my living room (only if my living room had direct access to the driveway so I could take it for a spin whenever I wanted)... but an SLR?! It is nothing else than a big, powerful GT...  :bad:

Does sound like a showoff... I'd like to have an SLR in my living room, but only if I could easily drive it out every day...

Sort of a waste IMO. If you want a car in your living room, why not have a really excellent quality large-scale model in there, or maybe the engine of a grand prix car or something along those lines on display, instead of what would otherwise be something you could actually drive and use.
