1927 Baby Bugatti Coaster Car Replica

Based on a real Baby Bugatti purchased at auction, Authentic Model's reproduction was made to the exact scale of the original and comes loaded with all the bells and whistles one would expect on a 1927 plaything for the rich and famous. Except the battery-powered electric engine and wiring, of course. You'll need to obtain that on your own before you can power around in the height of Gatsby-style luxury. The coaster features handmade aluminum coachwork and frame, cast aluminum wheels and leather bonnet straps and seat. The radiator is chrome-finished bronze and the brakes and gears are included. $4,000.

World's Most Expensive Toy Car

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Sure, you can hit Toys 'R Us for a traditional pedal car, or maybe even one of those electric mini Jeeps, but what well-to-do automobile enthusiast wants a toy that's so pedestrian?

Audi has you covered with what is possibly the most expensive toy car, a racing replica that follows the construction of the original down to the aluminum space frame and leather seat and trim. A removable steering wheel, aluminum body and hydraulic dual-disc brake system complete the package, which is a 1:2 scale model of which only 999 will be built and distributed through your respective Audi importer.

The Sun out of Britain pegs the car's price at £7,000, though no official price has been announced by Audi for the U.S.
