This Indian Millionaire Is Painting His Rs. 20 Crore Aston Martin With Real Moon Dust Worth 25 Crore


You know cars are your life when your Instagram does not have any pictures of you, but only showcases your passion for cars and the never-ending number of cars you own. And that's exactly the case of Kris Singh.

Man To Spend Rs. 25 Crore To Paint His Car With Moon Dust© Motoroids

Kris is an Indian-American businessman. He is the managing partner of a private investment company but that's not exactly what he is famous for. The man's collection of luxury and one-of-a-kind cars can make anyone die of jealousy. 

My favorite time of the day is when everyone else is still asleep. Happy Monday! ð¤ð¤«ðð¨ðð I hope you have a great week ahead! ðð¯ð _______________________________________________________ #Lamborghini #Veneno #LamborghiniVeneno #Sunday #Monday #SundayFunday #LateNightDrive #Peace #Quiet #OpenRoad #Lambo #MondayMorning #StartUp #StartTheWeekRight #BullsOverBears #305 #KeyBiscayne #CoralGables #Brickell #Miami #MiamiBeach #SouthBeach #BocaRaton #FtLauderdale #UFO #Drive #Driven #GetOutAndDrive #KrisSingh #BLESSED

If you notice closely, even his Instagram username includes a car in it- 'lamborghiniks'. Enough said!

In the past, he made headlines around the world for being one of the only three owners of the ultra-rare $4 million plus Lamborghini Veneno that costs around $4 million (Rs. 25 crores). 

Still pinching myself and still cannot believe it's mine. The Lamborghini Veneno. ððð ððð¨ð ð #BLESSED ð _____________________________________________________________ #Lamborghini #Veneno #VerdeSingh #MiamiBeach #Verde #Singh #LamborghiniVeneno #AventadorSV #Green #SV #FL #Centenario #NotPoweredByDuracell #Lambo #Ferrari #McLaren #SuperVeloce #SouthBeach #Miura #Countach #Diablo #Murcielago #Florida #Aventador #SouthBeach #Miami #Huracan #MiamiBeach #HuracanPerformante ð #BLESSED ð

He also made another exceptional purchase: Agera XS by the Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg that costs $3 million (Rs. 19 crores).

The Koenigsegg Agera XS live from Milano! No filter or photo adjustments. Straight off the iPhone. This color, under the sun, is pure madness. I can never thank my buds at Karosserie enough for making this custom orange for me and Koenigsegg for putting up with all of my crazy requests. ððð.

Evidently, he likes to be one-of-a-kind. And in another attempt to be as unique as possible, Kris has made an announcement that has taken aback the world by the sheer insanity of it. 

He is now getting his hands on an Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, out of the 150 that will be made. Apparently, the car has been priced at $3.2 million (Rs 20 crore) and will be customised to the needs of each customer. 

With the upcoming changes to regulations, this is not just the Greatest of all Time, this is the Greatest that will Ever Be. The Aston Martin & RedBull Racing Valkyrie. ð ð¬ð§ð If you don't get it yet, don't worry. You will. _______________________________________________________ #AstonMartin #Valkyrie #AstonMartinValkyrie #RedBull #RedBullRacing #AdrianNewey #MarekReichman #MilesNurnberger #AndyPalmer #TheGreatestOfAllTime #THEGOAT #AMRB001 #KrisSingh #BLESSED

But that isn't the insane part. 

So, when Kris got the opportunity to get it customised and basically get anything and everything done, he decided to go the extra AF way. He will now get his yet-to-be-delivered car painted with real moon dust. 

No, moon dust is not a specific colour. We mean ACTUAL moon dust, straight from the moon. 

Don't believe us? Have a look at what he posted:

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! My visit to Aston Martin was very inspiring. A few weeks ago @milesnurnberger had commented to me that a spec we were discussing reminded him of a Space Ship. I immediately responded, “The Valkyrie makes a Space Ship look like a Car!” ðð That got me thinking... How do I raise the bar of my spec to be worthy of Valkyrie level? ð¤ If ever there was a machine that could grip the ground and rip around the craters of the Moon like it's on rails, it would be the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Unfortunately, science won't allow me to be the first person to drive on the Moon (gravity is still an issue, they say), but nothing is stopping me from bringing the Moon to my Valkyrie!! ð I have sourced, gotten proper verification, and purchased an actual Rock from the Moon which will be ground to dust and used as a key ingredient in Karosserie Lunar Red which will be the color of my Aston Martin Valkyrie. This will be the first car ever to feature a paint formula that includes actual ingredients from #SPACE !!! Thank You to everyone at @astonmartinlagonda, @redbullracing and Karosserie in Wayne, PA. More renderings will be released in the coming weeks and months. We will also document and share some of the process of making actual Moon Rock part of this very special color being developed exclusively for the most special car of my lifetime: The Aston Martin Valkyrie. ðð½ð Thanks to ð@marcovanoverbeekeð for helping refine my spec and providing me with renderings and thanks to ð @capitolsunsetð  for setting the mood of the image on the Moon. More to come!! #ToTheMoonAndBack #ð ððð ______________________________________________________ #AstonMartin #Valkyrie #AstonMartinValkyrie #Moon #MoonRock #KarosserieLunarRed #KrisSingh #Red #BloodRedMoon #ToTheMoonAndBack #ComingSoon #2019 #RaiseTheBar #NASA #RedBull #RedBullRacing #AdrianNewey #MarekReichman #MilesNurnberger #AndyPalmer #AstonMartinRules #GameChanger #LunarRed #F1 #AstonMartinLive #RedWillNeverBeTheSame #TheRedOfAllReds #BLESSED ______________________________________________________ PS - No information or details regarding my source, purchase price, weight of the Moon Rock, or other, will be shared.

The gist is that after getting proper verification, he has purchased an actual rock from the Moon which will be ground to dust and used as a key ingredient in 'Karosserie Lunar Red' which will be the colour of  his Aston Martin Valkyrie. That would make it the first car in the world to have a paint formula with ingredients from space. And just when we thought he must be kidding, he further mentioned that he will document the whole process in the coming months. 

If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly! ð»ð¨ðð The Karosserie Lunar Red color for my Aston Martin Valkyrie is coming together!!! Jamie at Karosserie came up with the brilliant idea! As a starting point, Karosserie will match the iconic Red found on Christian Louboutin's “Red bottom heels” as the base color before working the moon dust into the formula. Fret not Ladies and Gents - No shoes will be harmed in making this color. ððð âï¸ Why this post? Because that's what you do when you claim new land. @astonmartinlagonda ... the Moon is ours! ð¨ðð¨â³ï¸ðâ¤ï¸ð. This hilarious image is by ð@capitolsunset ð and Valkyrie rendering by ð@marcovanoverbeeke ð ðð¤£ð ______________________________________________________ #astonmartin #astonmartinlive #valkyrie #astonmartinvalkyrie #moon #claimthemoon #moondust #karosserielunarred #krissingh #astonmartinracing #amr #vantage #vanquish #vulcan #vanquishs #milesnurnberger #marekreichman #andypalmer #redbull #redbullracing #adriannewey #moonlanding #red #lunarred #moonred #redmoon #paint #art #f1 #BLESSED P.S.

While he has clearly mentioned that he won't be discussing about his source or the cost of the moon rock, it didn't stop Jalopnik (https://jalopnik.com/some-guy-is-planning-to-paint-his-aston-martin-valkyrie-1822881863 ) from doing their own calculations after considering multiple factors.

Bottom line being that the moon rock would cost him somewhere around $4 million (approx. Rs. 25 crores) which is more than the cost of the hypercar itself. However, it needs to be noted that the cost calculated is of the rocks acquired on an Apollo mission. If Singh's source is something else, it is likely to cost him less. 

But whatever, it's his money so he can spend it any which way he likes. As for us, we are desperately waiting for his documentation of the whole process (assuming he does undertake it).
