3.4 million for a RUF-powered, 770hp diamond-encrusted headlamps? Why not just get a 9ff with over 50% more power for half the cost? Or any of the other hypercars out there?

I get the whole middle east conundrum of needing unique cars, etc. But this car can't "outsprint a P1" as said in the article, nor can it escape the fact that it's tube chassis doesn't hold a candle to the carbon composites used in other supercars today.

And am I the only one that finds it weird that in an article about a new hypercar, there are more pictures of the CEO than of the actual car? Also, no interior/close up diamond shots?

Because opulence?
Maybe it exists only because it can.

I want to get one of those, then put it in one of those hideous otter box cases.

I saw the picture before I read anything, and I seriously thought they'd just unveiled the next R8...

Probably for the same reason the "I am rich" app exists. More money than taste.
