Walking through a shopping centre car park yesterday and hear a real growl behind me, turn around expecting a Lambo and there is a Mercedes G-Wagon complete with the V12 Bi-Turbo (out of the last gen AMG 6.3 I guess) and kitted out with multiple side pipes, Brembo brakes and semi-slick tyres.

Inside was like a track spec Carrera, pure madness, while the guy was stuffing around parking I got a very good look and listen.

OK I should have pictures, but I didn't get that far.
However seeing this was sighted in the UAE (in Al Ain specifically) where if you have the money you can have whatever you want, that should be 'proof'

Still left this question for me: why?

On Sunday I watched a BMW X5 proceeding down the highway at about 40kph with both pipes pumping large clouds of 'dead engine' smoke.
Looked like he was just going to drive it until it seized, well it was at least 2 years old so hardly worth looking after I guess........

UAE = why?
