Just as we thought the likes of Mansory and other purveyors of questionable taste were cleaning up their act in the tuning game, a new fabricator has arrived and wants to sully the scene with chintz.Say hello to the Emperor I, a rose gold Mercedes-Maybach S600 by Scaldarsi. And this Emperor really is in new clothes. See, where the new Mercedes-Maybach S600 is a totem of understated opulence, Scaldarsi"s version isn"t. First off, there"s that quite combatant body kit, which, from the dead-ahead, has quite the resemblance to a Vauxhall Insignia VXR. It, like many of the newly modified panels, is finished in 24-carat rose gold to go with the accents, monster wheels and exhaust tips.Inside, the S600"s lavish interior scatter cushions and all remains. However, it"s been reskinned in pretty much every animal imaginable. A total of 24 (pretty much a big-game safari) different types of hides are available to line the interior, and can be dyed in 28 different colours. These can all be contrasted by 78 types of wood, with 16 exterior paint options available. Or, like the pictures above show, you can get drunk on steampunk and finish everything in copper. However, it"s the customisation options on the already heavily customised car that impress most. If you so wish, you can spec custom-engraved champagne glasses, matching tote bags, and even an Emperor Edition Rolex watch. It gets better. If the normal Mercedes key fob is too vanilla for you, why not have your own gauche jingle-jangle Scaldarsi variant?
