Made me smile.
Then I cried 'cause I couldn't afford a lens like it.
"Poke around on the web, however, and you won’t find any sample photographs captured with this lens. Why? Because the lens was never designed for real world use, and was never functional."
"The “Q” stands for “Quatsch,” which translates to “nonsense” in German."

A One off Leica for an Oil Sheikh (http://www.popphoto.com/gear/2012/08/worlds-most-expensive-lens-unsurprisingly-leica)

Plus an options of a special support vehicle.

The lens looks a bit like the 200 - 600 F2.8 Sigma lens without the electronics

That Leica is lame compared to Zeiss's 1700/4 tho!
