SLR

It is original, you can tell because of the brakes and the rear diff assembly.
It is also not very exotic, as awesome as M5s are.

Well, everytime I walk into my garage in the morning I see a 4 door V8, but that's besides the point.
Point is, no doubt it is a very capable car, I have said that it is awesome, but it's a matter of relevance.
This has been discussed before and the M5 will do well in the Random Cars thread, as real exotic exotics seem to be more appreciated here.
Just sayin'. And this thread needs more pics.

The lack of accurate information in this thread is astounding.
The initial poster was referring to Ancom Bhd (in Phileo D'sara 1), not Amcorp. That Bentley is parked in the Ancom boss's spot, and judging from the rear view mirror accessories in the collection of cars that regularly park there, the owner is very much Chinese.

Azman Hashim of Ambank does indeed have Ferraris and Porsches, as well as a Gallardo. His daily car is a Lexus LS460, as seen often in front of the Ambank building entrance, and he also has a W221.

Are you sure it's LHD and it's not the wheel arch of the car behind the RR?

hand-made vs mass market.
the choice is easy.

To each his own, but I have to agree with you here. A Maybach may cost a fair bit more, but it's like a S500XL... and they're really struggling to sell them.
I mean, wow, it's expensive and all, but somehow a Rolls or Bentley has that extra dimension that makes them a bit more special.

So if the GTR is 50% exotic, when there's two of them in a pic next to each other, wouldn't it qualify as 100% exotic?

Does it even matter? I don't see how that is relevant at all.

The guy likes cars and takes good photos. Whatever else is his business.

White is always awesome on cars like this. Black wheels is a bonus

Tommy, is that iktikadraya or quasar? Also, was this a couple of weeks ago? BGM 5 just had its plugs replaced.

Was this on the 9th/10th Nov? Richard said there'd only be 3 cars, so it seems another snuck in...
Just noticed the big pan of oil under BGM 5...

While it is true that the recent posts have centred around the typical Ferrari/Lambo/AM exotics, and while the SLR is itself rare and exotic, it still shares a brand name with, of all things, an A-Class haha (while we're here, we'll include the R-Class, various trucks and buses, and the pink mini-buses of last century). << kidding.

Seriously though, not many people would buy one because the Lambo/Ferraris look much better, probably perform and handle much better, and will not depreciate as much. This car hasn't done well, just read here. For that money, there are plenty of much better options, which would include its upcoming successors, the SLS and MP12.
