World’s most expensive toy car is £40k replica of Rolls Royce motor – drivers can pick their own colour & add diamonds
FEAST your eyes on what could be the world’s most expensive toy – featuring over 1,000 custom parts and costing more £30,000.
The toy car – which costs more than a real Volkswagen Golf – is a replica Rolls-Royse Cullinan and buyers can even add real diamonds to the seats.
The tiny motor is a mirror image of the real thing – and lucky Cullinan owners can even have it custom made to match their own full sized version.
The fancy toy comes with it’s own remote control which can be used to operate it while details as small as door handle LED lights turning on can be seen in a video posted online.
The model costs between £13,000 and £32,000, so punters could by a brand new £25,000 VW Golf and still have enough left over to buy a Rolex watch.
A tour of a £31,600 version of the toy motor has been posted online by SupercarBlondie.
Is the video, the presenter said: “This is the most expensive model car in the world.”
As the video plays she can be seen opening the boot and showing viewers every little bit of detail it has to offer.
She said: “This is the luggage space here in the back, and it even has the glass divider.
“The starting price is $17,000, but this one right here is worth around $40,000.
“Depending on what you want to get, or how bespoke you want it, the price will up from there.
“Let’s say you want little diamonds in the headrest, whatever you want, they can do it.”
While she tours the rest of the pretend whip all four doors are opened, as well as the boot and bonnet – and lights turn on and off as she opens them, just as they would in the real motor.
The detail of the motor even includes a front motion sensor, and the engine is is a mirror image of the cars twin turbo V12 engine.
The presenter added: “If you did not know this was a model car, you would think you are looking at a real Rolls Royse engine.
“That’s how detailed it is.”
The model has over 1,000 individual custom made parts and the interior – which lights up as if the engine has been tuned on – is so exact that viewers would have a hard time knowing the difference if shown side-by-side images.
What’s even more surprising is that the model takes 450 hours to make.
The presenter, said: “That is more than half the time is takes to make a real Cullinan.
“That is how intricate and special this mode car is.”
The model is made by the company themselves, and on their website enthusiasts can select how they want the model to be made.
On their site, it reads: “Displaying an unparalleled level of detail, this iconic 1:8 scale model is not only a faithful reproduction of a full-size Cullinan, but a beautiful work of art in its own right.
“Each model has been hand-assembled from over 1,200 individually crafted components to meet the highest possible standards.
“From the engine compartment to the tread of the tyres, each motor car is a true expression of effortless, timeless luxury in extraordinary miniature.
“This includes fully functioning exterior and interior lights, opening and closing coach doors, luggage compartment and opulently finished interior.”
Car enthusiasts will go far and wide to assemble their passion-driven collections, spending hard-earned cash on the toys to sit proudly in a display cabinet.
But for those that don’t – but still have an old box of toys in the attic – it may well be worth double checking you’re not sat on a small fortune.
Just a couple of months ago an ultra-rare toy car that was originally bought for 50p at a car boot sale and could fetch £2,000 at auction.
And it’s not just toy cars that fetch a tidy amount – after a toy from the Star Wars franchise was recently sold for an eye-watering £21,000.
