    Some company, DiMora Motorcar, is introducing the most luxurious car on the planet..ringing in at $2M a piece. It's called the Natalia SLS 2. Some basic features are a V16 engine producing 1200bhp, biofeedback sensors (to monitor heartrate, blood pressure, blood oxygen level, amongst other things), changing paint colors depending on temp, headlights that house video screens/projectors, TVs, a bar, themally-controlled cupholders, so on and so forth. More information can be found here: http://www.dimoramotorcar.com/nat_overview.html.

    Appearantly Luxury Resort Villas has already ordered 10 of them to be delivered in 2008.

    Thats a funky looking car, get rid of the rims and id consider getting one. The maybach is probably more recognizable

    Silly to pay that for a car when you can get a tricked out Prevost bus for that $ & really ride in comfort

    Its pretty cool but unlikely to get off the ground with much momentum. I remember Maybach was giving a $50,000 dollar sales incentive to buy their car. Lets see how long this company lasts. The only thing I can see the company keeping afloat is the sale of 10 of them to the resort company. However I doubt its enough- developing a car is very expensive. Maybe there is a market for it that the Maybach, Rolls Royce, or Bentley can't seem to fill, even with all that strong corporate funding, experience, and talent.
    My point is, it ain't worth the money.

    Doesn't that hit anyone as either completely overkill or a pretty blunt definition of who their target buyer is?

    Anybody want to guess it will have a rear end from a 32 Ford or a transmission from a Chevy Caprice Classic? The only thing I see here is an over-glorified kit car.

    I agree. I'd say overkill is an understatement. It's "pimp my ride" taken to a whole new level.

    Definetly agree there, this seems as if they want everything stuffed into this car a bar, personal computer, biofeedback sensors, i even read on their website that a specail limited-production $12,000 purse will be included, and the changing colors whats with that?

    "Headlights

    The headlights will house small video screens and a video projector. These will display any Natalia video stream: movies from the automobile's DVD player, satellite TV broadcasts, live video coming from any of the automobile's cameras, or a professional video about the automobile and our sponsors. Thus, the automobile will be able to tell the viewer about Natalia and our sponsors while parked."

    Why would you buy a $2m car that advertise other peoples sponsors? It just one very expensive rolling bill board

    haha what a heap, the thing looks absolutely horrid. You think people with that kind of scratch want some wild looking car? Judging from the bach' and bentleys probably not. RR is a bit out there but not that bad.


    Personally I think something like the caddy sixteen would be BADASS if you had like $1mm to drop on a car, assuming they ever build it that is.

    How long before some homie "blings" one out and makes it look totally absured? Oh,.....looks like somebody already did that when they designed it.

    Couple of missing things from the 1st post:
    Paint
    Headlights
    Handicapped-assisting Front Passenger Seat
    So, in a nutshell, it has every possible gadget you could ever need in life. Overkill is an understatement
