Solid-Gold Veyron Model: Yours For £2m

Super-exclusive 1:18 scale Bugatti revealed

---

For some, a Bburago or Maisto 1:18 scale model car will never be enough. It's for those people, we presume, that this replica Bugatti Veyron has been created.

It's made from solid 24-carat gold, platinum and 7.2 carats of single-cut diamonds.

A mere three examples of the model, which has been created by Robert Gulpen of Munich and Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, will be made.

If that doesn't sound like very many, you'll understand the reason for its rarity when we tell you that each ne will cost a whopping £2m - that's considerably more than the full-size car.

Still, it does have working doors, bonnet and steering...

How wonderfully classy...!

Will probs weigh as much as a full size car as well if it really is "solid" gold.

So, the Wing'd horse has competition!

[frosted]

Chavier than a mum/dad gold ring ?

[Davi]

almost as tasteless as the real thing!

[tuffer]

Does not say what role the Scouser played in this.....I wonder if it was collecting the gold

If you're gonna spend that much on a chunk of gold crafted into the shape of a car, you could at least make it a good looking one!

Yes, but only a Veyron owner would find this classy - and possibly afford it.

When the oil has stopped flowing the great grandkids will be straight down the pawn shop with it...

Any more? I know Viz did a Princess Diana English Breakfast Commemorative Plate. (She had 'Mushroom' in her heart for us).

Ha.

[militantmandy]

In the top 5 most pointless items of all times!

[Silverbullet767]

Is there much change of this fitting on the dash of my veyron? Would go with my gold coloured tax disc holder.



That's a keeper, yesh...
