You may see one now in Munich, Germany for sale: Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 Pur Sang. Offered by The Car Experience (Canadian address given). No affiliation.

According the seller of this "Pur Sang":
aluminum is normally a recycled product, resulting in a variety of impurities in the alloys. This has no effect on the characteristics of the material, but on its appearance. After polishing and anodizing the aluminum there can be different degrees of gloss.

Not so on the Veyron: there are no differences in gloss here. Because a single, special alloy is used exclusively: AlMgSi 0.3 Vitral 42.

And people call OUR cars Bling sometimes... Yeesh!

These chromed or all aluminum ones are wild to look at. It's hard to turn away from them though, like a morbid accident. You can't help but stare in awe...

I can't imagine what it must be like to approach one of those chromed exotics that has been sitting out in the Dubai summer sun.
