Valued at $140,000, the 1:64-scale Hot Wheels car was designed by celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills and it commemorates the production of the 4 billionth Hot Wheels vehicle. The car is cast on 18-karat white gold and covered in more than 2,700 blue, white and black diamonds. Blue stones mimick the Spectraflame blue paint, black and white diamonds are used for the engine under the functional hood and for the underbelly, and the tail lights are actually rubies. The car comes in a custom-made case which holds 40 individual white diamonds, signifying each year in the legacy of Hot Wheels.
One rich collector will probably be the very happy owner of this vehickle, while the rest of us will just keep wondering why someone would pay $140,000 for a toy car...
