Worlds most expensive toy car
A diamond encrusted toy car has become the worlds most expensive, valued at $140,000.The 1:64 size car designed by celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills contains 2,700 jewels and weighs nearly 23 carats. The car is cast in 18-karat white gold with the majority of the vehicle detailed with micro pave-set brilliant blue diamonds.
“Collaborating with Mattel on the jeweled Hot Wheels car was a dream project for me,” said Jason Arasheben, president & CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills.
“The car is truly spectacular and will be a brilliant addition to anyone’s collection,” he added.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 105th American International Toy Fair, by multi-platinum recording artist and car enthusiast, Nick Lachey, who grew up playing with the die-cast car line.
The unique vehicle will be auctioned off to benefit Lachey’s charity of choice, Big Brothers Big Sisters in late 2008.
