Sharjah jewellery exhibition exhibits gold-plated sports car

At the 55th edition of the Middle East Watch and Jewellery Show in Sharjah, one exhibit left visitors ogling at a 2014 Nissan GT-R, fully covered in intricate 24K gold-plated engravings. Nicknamed ‘Gold-Zilla’ for its looks and powerful performance, the car valued at over $1 million, has been attracting countless people to the Show.

This one-of-a-kind creation was designed by Kuhl Racing and Japanese artist Takahiko Izawa, with the entire body hand-engraved before being finished in gold. It took over 2,000 hours to complete the detailed work. According to the organisers, this year’s show is one of the largest and most diverse to date, bringing together more than 500 exhibitors from 26 countries, including around 90 new participants.
