It's not made of silver. It's just had all of the paint taken off; what you're seeing is it's bare aluminum skin, polished to a high sheen and then clear coated to protect it.
It's not made of silver.
Look at the facts:
Silver weighs 55.7 pounds per square foot. Aluminum weighs 14.3 pounds per square foot. Silver weight 3.8 times as much as aluminum - there is no reason in the world to coat an S8 in silver.
You'd have to upgrade everything on the drive train (and chassis) to deal with the added weight of the silver, and thereby no longer making it an S8 since all of the parts would be aftermarket and fabricated elsewhere. Not only that, but unless you mold all of the parts from silver themselves, you'd end up just adding the silver on top of the aluminum, making the body actually weight FIVE TIMES what it would as a stock S8.
If this IS made out of silver (which I highly doubt), it make look like an S8 on the outside, and it might on the interior, but the performance and the rest of the car is not an S8.

Also, did you know that the U.S. mines produced 118,000 kilograms (kg) of silver in December 2004, according to the U.S. Geological Survey? Production of silver was up by about 16% compared with that of November; production was up by about 54% in Nevada and byabout 6% in the other silver-producing States. Nevada produced 34,100 kg, exceeding 31,000 kg (1 million troy ounces) of silver for the first time in the State’s history. I know more about silver than you do k?
