Not that special. Now this is special:

A silver car--no, not silver-colored or silver-plated, but a solid silver body!

Even more surprising--it's not an SUV! I guess those Middle Eastern princes are very concerned about fuel efficiency!

I don't know about fuel efficiency -- that's an Audi, and it's probably got quite a few goodies under the hood, too. Wouldn't surprise me if it guzzled gas like a Suburban.

Given the solid-silver body, I'd also wonder about curb weight....

It is an Audi A8. The A8 is Aluminum. That particular car is simply been polished and finshed to preserve the shine. No silver used.
