Hot Wheels® Kicks off 40th Anniversary with Unveil of Diamond-Encrusted
Car at New York Toy Fair
This $140,000 Hot Wheels car is allegedly the most expensive
toy car in the world, created to commemorate the 40th Anniversary
of Mattel's tiny cars and show why Humanity has way too much free
time. Why is it so expensive? As you can see in the glittery images,
it is all about the 23-carat bling-bling.
The car has 2,700 blue, black, and white diamonds covering its
18-karat white gold frame. The blue diamonds are used to mimic
the Hot Wheels Spectraframe blue paint, while black and white
diamonds cover the underbelly and for the engine. For the brake
lights, they used rubies. |
