Recession? Recession for who? Was this the cause!?

It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).  Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque  0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs running on biofuel.  (again, naturally)  I heard a rumor that this car was worth about $5 million dollars but I have not been able to confirm it.  At 5 million it's probably not the cause of the recession, but it's definitely not the solution either.

What's next, cars that are controlled by video game controllers?  Oh wait, Mercedes seems to be already working on it -> http://ntho.posterous.com/future-mercedes-concept-car-wi-1  Nonetheless it makes me wonder who will be the first to own it or how much they'll pay for the technology.
