Robert Gülpen a 52-year-old renown miniature car model maker has built the most expensive model car in the world —-a 1:8 scale replica of the Lamborghini Aventador made from carbon, platinum gold and decorated with precious stones. It took Gülpen 500 hours to complete his claimed “high-tech work of art” that’s uniquely never been done before. This model car features polished details made of carbon fiber like the original version flooded with €2 million-worth of precious metals and stones. Metal was used for the detailed rims and diamonds were inserted into the seats, steering wheel and headlights. Gülpen model doesn’t have a working engine, stereo setup or air conditioning but interestingly will go on auction at Sotheby’s with a starting price of €3.5 million, or $4,789,000+ notably priced 12 times more than the real Lamboghini Aventador which went on sale this summer at $379,700.
Then watch out McLaren fanatic as Robert’s next masterpiece will be a Hot Wheels-sized model of the McLaren MP4-12C that will sell for just over $1 billion.
