Robert Gülpen 

Lamborghini 

Aventador LP700-4 

2011 

Carbon Fiber 

Street 

$4.7 million. Most expensive model car in the world 

When it comes to objects of automotive lust, few tip the scales further than the Lamborghini Aventador. Naturally, most mere mortals (like us) can't come up with nearly enough expendable income to ever fulfill the dream of owning an actual, drivable toy like that.

If we can't afford the real thing, at least we can get ourselves a smaller scale model, right? Well, maybe... unless the 1:8 scale Aventador you've got your eye on comes with seats, headlights and steering wheel made from diamonds, wheels fashioned from gold and platinum and a perfectly scaled copy of the body crafted from carbon fiber.

Just how much would such a fancy bauble cost? We hope you're sitting down: at least $4.7 million. Yes, in dollars. Auction house Sotheby's plans to sell the wee Lambo to the highest bidder in December with the lofty starting price just quoted, but if you just can't wait to get your hands on it, you can buy it from Robert Gülpen, the modeler, for a cool $6 mil.

Or, you could buy a dozen actual Aventadors for that price, which may be far more satisfying. Check out our exclusive photos of the model taken by photographer David Kaiser, and follow the jump for a video of the model on display behind bulletproof glass at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

El volante, los asientos y los faros cuentan con diamantes incrustados, mientras que para las llantas se ha recurrido a oro y platino macizos. En cifras, los materiales que se han utilizado en este exclusivo modelo ascienden a los 2 millones de euros. ¡Solo los materiales! De los 1,5 millones de euros restantes, medio millón será destinado a una obra benéfica en Sri Lanka (o cualquier otra que se acuerde con Lamborghini). No obstante, los 3,5 millones que vale esta maqueta son solo el precio de partida de una subasta que tendrá lugar en diciembre. Si no queremos esperar tanto, siempre podemos ir directamente al joyero alemán Robert Gülpen y abonar los 4,4 millones de euros que pide por cada una de las reproducciones.

A título anecdótico, esta maqueta del Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 cuenta con tres Récords Guiness en su haber. Por un lado, y como es obvio, se trata de la maqueta más cara y exclusiva jamás fabricada. No obstante, dentro de los 3,5 millones de euros que piden por ella también se incluye un escudo de Lamborghini realizado en oro, platino y diamantes que también ostenta el título de "logo más caro del mundo".

Francisco Vaya preciosidad de coche. Los Lamborghini son de lo mejor que hay estéticamente. Por cierto, las réplicas a 1:8 cuestan bastante pasta.....
