The Ridiculous Golden Veyron


Rich people have problems too y'know - overly-tight diamond y-fronts, wallets too small for £50 notes, garage too narrow for a Lambo... Well, on that last note at least, some enterprising folk have engineered an ingenious solution: a solid gold and diamond Buggatti Veyron model. The work of Robert Gulpen and Stuart Hughes, this 1/18th scale Bug' is miniaturised not - as we hoped - using freakin' lasers, but rather with 24 karat gold and 7.2 carats worth of diamonds.

The end result is pretty bling, as you can see before you. The price for this fine item? US$ 2,930,000. More than twice the price of an actual Veyron. And just three will be made.
If you take medication in the mornings and evenings to prevent you from toasting your kittens and filling your car up with cheese instead of petrol, maybe this is for you.
Alternatively, for those of us who prefer our walls in ‘un-padded' flavour, what would you feature in your supercar garage if you had three-mil?
