World’s most expensive luxury car costs a cool 2 mil
Robert Bliss, the gentleman in charge of Strategic Operations for DiMora Motorcar was kind enough to send me a selection of renderings of the DiMora Natalia SLS 2. What you are looking at here is going to be two millions bucks of luxe with a V16 “Volcano” engine.
The car is being developed by Alfred DiMora and his management team based in California. DiMora is no stranger to custom built cars. He is responsible for two landmark neoclassics, the Clenet and the Sceptre (more on those in a future post). The Sceptre link has an excellent collection of build-up photos and sketches. One of DiMora’s other business is Star Bridge Systems, a company that builds supercomputers used by the likes of NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the National Cancer Institute.
The formula is relatively simple: take one part neoclassic, mix in some supercomputer, toss in the lobby of an ultraluxe hotel and you have the DiMora Motorcar Natalia SLS 2. The car is still just a rendering backed up by an idea, but there are a multitude of exotic features being touted by DiMora Motorcar.
