A car made of pure gold was confiscated by the police (6 photos)
This golden car would be a very good advertisement for Nanjing jewelers. But, alas, the advertising did not take place. A solid gold sports car parked on a street in Nanjing was towed away by police because it was not registered. Crowds of shocked onlookers gathered outside a shopping mall in Nanjing, eastern China, to take a look at the G37 luxury car parked near a jewelry store.

Unfortunately for the car's owners, the police were soon nearby. It was she who noticed that the golden car was missing some essential detail - a license plate.
The car, which was created by five designers over the course of five months, was sent to the Nanjing impound area.
Now owners have ten days to pay a very substantial fine - or the car will be destroyed.

The G37 is the latest luxury model from Infiniti, a brand owned by Nissan. The golden car was made as an advertisement for Nanjing jewelry firms.
The market for “luxury goods” has significantly strengthened its position recently. It is expected that by 2020, 44% of all such goods will be produced in China.
