World's Most Expensive Toy Car

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.

Not an Ordinary Toy Car

Actually, I'm quite sure MST would get pissed if you simply referred to their "The Blue Car" as simply a toy car. The 12 pound hand-painted car arrives in it's own crate with gloves as to prevent getting your nappy paws on the four layer paint job. All this detail from a company with an unimaginative name (they're German, maybe it doesn't translate well), Magic Super Toys, can be had for just under 2000 Euro. I played rough with my Hot Wheels when I was a kid, so I wouldn't think too hard about getting one of these for your little boy.

I don't recall anything this cool when I was a kid. Inspired by the famous 1952-1957 Ferrari F2 Racers the steel boxter is made from heavy gauge steel and is finished with a chip resistant non-toxic powder coating. Some assembly is required. No age requirement listed. Price $750.
