Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, commissioned Kirkham Motorsports build the ultimate, cost is no object, roadster. Spanning the 2 1/2 years between idea and completion, this book reveals the secrets of the ultimate car.

As people have begun to see copies of the book, we've had requests to sell the billet aluminum bound book. The billet bound book is available on an extremely limited basis for $4,500 per copy.

Thats sweet but not for me, I have enough trouble keeping black clean, I'd go nutty inside a week if I every had something as beautiful as that.

mind you, I would go down giving a red hot go....

There are other options on the Kirkham.
You can have racing stripes, roundels and numbers etch primed in to the shiny surface.
Or the reverse etch primed body surface with the stripes, numbers, etc in polished aluminium.

I can remember when Caterham offered aluminium bodies on their C21 model. If you got up real close you could see what looked like rain drops on the shiny surface, this was the joins between the aluminium panels.

The whole thing kind of makes a mockery of the ADR that was introduced for windscreen wipers to be a non reflective finish (flat black) as there was a possibility you could be temporarily blinded in strong sunlight.

that is amazing.....I love it when engerineering purpose is done with a bit of art. Rare to find it done to this standard.

I'm sure it cost more than the total of my telephone number

The book is a limited edition, most likely because surely no one is stupid enough to pay 4 and a half g's for a billet aluminium bound book.
