While it is not a problem i am often (never in my life) challenged with, surely there are those who must have an awful time at Christmas and birthdays shopping for their dirty filthy rich relative who has nearly everything. When the gold apple watch crowd shops, It falls upon them to swipe their AMEX Black cards on not only something tasteful, personal, meaningful...and of uncompromisable quality but seriously and ludicrously expensive.
1/4 Scale Ferrari FF - $26,850.00 at http://finemodelcars.com/us/
for Reference, car and Driver lists the Focus ST’s MSRP at $25,195 and new GTI at 26,205*
to be fair, if space is a premium in your smoking lounge/library/underground garage they do offer 1/8 scale instead of 1/4 at a significant discount.
this F458 EVO is a mere $6,775.00 Hugely detailed....NPOCP??
Of course a NEW STRATOS 1/8 Scale is a bit rarer forbidden fruit overall so... price goes up t0 $9400, and if anything in the world could possibly be a better bargain for a non running stratos I would love to see it in the comments. yes it’s a little small and completely nonfunctional. but its a bargain. a NEW STRATOS would be a $600,000 if they could even produce them. $600,000 divide by eight (1/8 scale) is $75,000...so inch per inch the models are quite a deal if lightweight is your thing.
of course, not everyone wants third person or scaled down action so for your full scale pretend F1 Fantasies why not treat Uncledad Gildenpockets to a 1:1 full-scale replica F1 wheel!? Only $3075 which seem like a lot compared to a whole car or even a replica gaming wheel like a Thrustmaster F1 (150$) , but it seems like your only middle ground option this side of going totally Glickenshit and using a real $50,000 one.
Or what if it is for your nephew Junior Achievement? No worries. Half size humans can have a handheld bargain. Only 150$
And if 10-20 large is a bit to big to bite off for a first timer, one might always start off easy at small scale nosecone... ‘just the tip’ (160$).
*Listed MSRP is for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI 4dr HB Man S base trim with no options. Includes destination fee. Does not include sales tax. But you knew that already you keen shoppers!
