Watch a chromed SLR hit London

There is an interesting philosophical discussion behind mankind's attraction to lustrous, glossy items. Sadly, we are unable to engage in said discussion because the chrome on this Mercedes SLR has temporarily BLINDED US.

A plucky YouTube user filmed this insanely shiny Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren stalking the streets of London, cloaked in a shield of Chromium and sporting some Brabus hardware. We're not sure what level of tune this SLR is running, but Brabus' top ‘K8-S' pack pushes power from the supercharged 5.4-litre V8 lump from 617bhp to 710bhp. Try and wrap your senses around that.

And if this eye-catching Ode To Chrome isn't enough, something Koenigsegg Agera-shaped pops along for a peek at 51s...
