"Photos Copyright \u00A9 2011 Anliker Ueli    A Swiss designer has turned a Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 999 into a gold plated and jewel encrusted monument to eccentric taste. Called the &amp;quot;Red Gold Dream,&amp;quot; the paintjob alone has 11 pounds of gold worked into it \u2013 guess that&amp;#039;s why it took 25 applications to lather it all on. The asking price is a jaw dropping $11-million. If that&amp;#039;s not shocking enough for you, then take a peek inside. Hundreds of rubies have been worked into the gold leather-covered cabin. Oh yes, lest we forget, rubies can also be found on the Red Gold&amp;#039;s wheel bolts, the illuminated front badge, and alongside the 24-karat gold-covered LED front indicators.  The man behind this machine, Ueli Anliker, apparently plans to bump the output of the supercharged V-8 engine to roughly 1000-hp. A GPS tracking device is also included, should car thieves attempt to make off with the Red Gold Dream. A quick online search for Mr. Anliker found a seemingly official website devoted to this unique automotive project, along with sub-sections listing news, a race museum and...Thai food?
