First gold plated porsche

According to Official Guinness Records,

German company Visualis commissioned an artist to gild a Porsche Boxter in 22 carat beaten gold. There are now plans to release a limited edition model and plate nine further Porsches.
All the major components from the steering wheel and door knobs to the car body and alloy rims are gold plated, making the two seater so expensive that the price has not yet been disclosed.
