As car enthusiasts, we also love scale models. But while we’re ok with paying a few hundreds of dollar for a great model, this special scale model is a little too much for. What seems to be the most expensive scale model in the world is a 1/8 scale Lamborghini Aventador which will be sold at a New York auction this month, at a starting price of $4.72 million.
The creation belongs to Robert Guelpen and has already been presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Even though the model car is made of gold, platinum, carbon fiber and diamonds and probably countless hour of work were spent making this jewel, we think the price tag is a little too much for a model car. I mean, with this kind of money someone could buy ten real Aventador and definitely have more fun than staring at a model car.
According to Guelpen, which created another expensive model car in the past, a $2.93 million Bugatti Veyron, the price tag isn’t too high, considering only the materials used to build this model car cost more than $3 million: 700 diamonds are embedded in each seat, the suspension is made of massive gold, the wheels are made of platinum and the body is completely made of carbon fiber covered in gold.
If the model car is sold, Guelpen says he will donate almost $700,000 to charity. Also, if sold, this model car will enter the Guinness World Record book as the most expensive scale model car ever created. I repeat, if sold.
