$7.5 million Lamborghini model costs more than 17 Aventador supercars!

By

Shelling out for a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, or even a Bugatti suddenly seems to make a lot more sense. After all, those exotic cars are at least drivable! This 1:8 scale Lamborghini Aventador model is constructed out of diamonds, carbon-fiber, platinum, gold and a variety of precious stones.


The world's most expensive model car is expected to fetch a minimum of $7.5 million when it goes to auction later this month.

The world's most expensive model car is expected to fetch a minimum of $7.5 million when it goes to auction later this month.

For about $400,000, you could park a brand new Lamborghini Aventador in your garage or driveway.
Or if you want to spend an extra $7 million, you could park this model of one in your den.
RELATED: COULD THIS BE THE LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO’S SWANSONG?
Built by Robert Gülpen Engineering, the model was recently presented at the Frankfurt Auto Show. According to the company’s website, Lamborghini was an easy choice because the automaker’s cars are “exclusive, sensual and challenging, and unmistakably Italian.”
You could buy a Bugatti Veyron for every day of the week, or this one model car.

Fair enough, but not even an Aventador has LED headlights made out of real diamonds.
The model’s entire body is constructed out of carbon-fiber and extremely thin (1/1000 millimeters) threads of solid gold are wrapped around the fibers.
Solid gold and platinum are used to cast the model's wheel rims, along with the interior, seats, and steering wheel. As if the model isn’t crazy enough, the car’s bullet-proof case should drive that point home.
The gold-plating is optional. You can also specify that your multi-million dollar model be finished in exposed carbon-fiber (with solid gold threads woven into it). Peek through the windshield for a glimpse of the jewel-encrusted cabin!

Of course, that got us wondering: Has anyone actually ever shot a model car?
A gigantic and bejeweled Lamborghini badge is also included. In fact, all three items – the model, the military-spec display case, and the Lambo badge – are aiming to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
We’d be tempted to add a fourth record to that list: Most enormous waste of money.
Then again, at least roughly $600,000 of the price will go to a charity of the winning bidder’s choosing. That’s right, the $7.5 million asking price is only the reserve placed on the model before the auction.
Bidding could push the price even higher

By
  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists. London, England Since Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis last week , England has been in the national spotlight, and is expecting a tourism boost. But that's not the only reason to visit the UK right now. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London came and went, but many of the buildings, restaurants, hotels and venues that sprouted up to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who came for the Olympics still stand.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

By
This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger  Eldar Murtazin  tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
