(Aug. 30) -- It's a luxury car so over the top that if it ever gets made, it'll be a marriage of science fiction and reality, folly and foresight: a four-door sedan with a staggering $2 million sticker price, 16-speed transmission, top speed of 270 mph and a chassis made out of biodegradable lava rock.

We're talking a sweet whip that, if it ever sees the road, will have a paint job that magically fades from black to white depending on the temperature, tint-control windows and leather seats that stay cool in even the hottest climes.

Just listing the amenities could take up an entire article. In fact, this car has so many bells and whistles that even the bells and whistles have bells and whistles. What billionaire ride would be complete without a 256-megabyte flash memory MP3 horn?

And that's just the base model. Want the turbo? That'll cost you $2.8 million.

This is the DiMora Natalia, a production car that's been in the works for three and half years from DiMora Motorcar, based in Palm Springs, Calif. Slated for release some time in 2012, it will be the world's most expensive production car.

Automotive journalists, however, doubt the Natalia will ever be built. Car and Driver dismisses it as a "donkey show" car, a class of outrageously contrived vehicles that are more urban myth than reality -- in other words, a car that everyone's heard about but no one's really seen.

Donkey show cars, the magazine says, "exist entirely in the twisted minds of their creators."

Alfred DiMora, founder of DiMora Motorcar, has heard the snickers. "I understand why people are skeptical," he told AOL News. "If the Big Three can't do it, how can this guy?"

DiMora, 54, got his start in the auto industry nearly 35 years ago, when he built luxury custom cars for Clenet Motorworks. Since then, he's spent time in the computer, recycling and infomercial industries, among others.

In 2005, he returned to the auto industry, launching DiMora Motorcar and becoming the exclusive Middle East sales representative for Hennessey Performance, a custom car builder. Three weeks ago, DiMora Motorcar delivered the first Hennesey Venom GT to a customer in Dubai. The Venom, with a $890,000 price tag, is an economy car by DiMora standards.

Given the Natalia's price -- for $2 million, a consumer could buy 50 Mercedes C300s - DiMora is quite clear about who his target buyer is.

"People said, 'Who's going to buy this car?' Well, it's not the millionaires," he said. "These days, having a couple million means you're poor. Look at the billionaires. There have been more billionaires in the last decade than any time in history."

Currently, the world's most expensive production car is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, a 1,000-horsepower coupe with a top speed of 267 mph that retails for $1.7 million.

According to Matt Hardigree, news editor of auto blog Jalopnik, there's no shortage of boutique auto companies announcing the next great challenger to ultra-high-end cars like the Veyron, dubbed "super-cars."

By Hardigree's estimate, only one in 12 super cars ever gets built.

"The spirit of doing a super-car is fantastic," Hardigree told AOL News. "There's been a vacuum of exciting cars over the years. On the other hand, it's easy to dream when you have Photoshop."

DiMora, in assessing the ultra-high-end category, believes the Natalia stands alone at the top. "I don't have any competitors in the world," he said. "There are none."

Which could be true ... if the car ever gets built.

Only a 256mb Flash Drive Horn.

many many yrs ago
there was a guy that i was seeing
and we had went to this car lot to look at cars
for he had a crazy thought of buying a new one. of course he never did
but there was a car we saw it was AWSOME!! it had many differnt colors which you couldnt tell unless you were directly in the sun
i cant recall how much the car was but the paint job alone was worth $30 thousand dollars... (im serious)

I would'nt buy a car like that, even if I could afford one.
I like them simple. Give me a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T any day!!

i would love to own a old mustang
my sister used to have one when i was younger
those are great cars

This article makes me think of Preston Tucker.

I still think this is way overboard.

Bump.
