This creation is based on the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, and it was crafted by Robert Gülpen, who has also created miniatures of the Mercedes Benz 500 SL and Aston Martin DB5, from precious metals and gems. It is the world’s most expensive and precious car model by Guinness World Records. Sotheby’s will auction the car in December in either New York or Dubai with bids starting at $4.7 million, reports Wired.
Why is this car so expensive?! Here is the answer:
Mini Lamborghini is made from carbon fibre like the original and its shell was milled using computer modelling data handed over from the Italian car manufacturer.
The tyre rims have been cast from solid gold and platinum as has the entire interior, diamonds have been inserted into the seat, headlights and steering wheel. Designer wrapped a 1/1000mm thin thread of solid gold around the carbon fibres — a feature the original doesn’t boast.
