World’s most expensive model car, gold Bugatti Veyron costs 2 mln pounds

LONDON - A tiny Bugatti Veyron replica, which was constructed from 24-carat gold, platinum and diamonds, has become the world’s most expensive model car with its worth put at 2 million pounds.
Only three editions will be made of the models, which are the creation of Liverpool-based designer Stuart Hughes and Swiss luxury model carmaker Robert Gulpen, the Telegraph reported.
It comes with working doors, bonnet and, reportedly, steering. Under the bonnet will be a tiny version of the 16-cylinder ‘W’ engine, which drives the real car to almost 254mph.
The model is called the Bugatti Veyron Diamond Ltd Edition, and the high price is enough to purchase two of the real cars.
The full-size version is named after Pierre Veyron, the French Le Mans winner, who drove for Bugatti. (ANI)
