That is definitely fuglier than the car.

It deserves to get peed on. God, it is staggering how ugly it is.

I don't like the high-rise design of it, though. I prefer the "mansion" look... 2 (or 3 stories) and spread out on a lot of land.

20 stories, parking garage for 160 cars, requires a staff of 600. Probably gold-plated toilet seats.

Looks aside, if I were to have a billion-dollar home, it sure wouldn't be in Mumbai. That city's a dump!

Pic of it at his house:



He got a newer replacement model last year, and now he is being sued over the insurance on it.

So the car is worth more than his house from the looks of it.

I would rather have a 4 year old Jeep Wrangler unlimited with portal axles, diesel engine swap, 37" tires and a bucket full of gold coins in the back seat.

I still like this one for a lot less $$.

But there real question is how's the gas mileage?

As for winning the Powerball lottery, I'd buy a Honda Civic Si. People who get rich winning the lottery and buy million dollar cars and mansions do not stay rich for very long.

TG got that right!

IIRC - the engine is actually a W-18 using three banks of 6 cyl on a single crank.
