Most Expensive Toy Car

Audi’s Auto Union Type C pedal car may just be the world’s most expensive toy car. At an unofficial price of over $14,000 USD, the pedal car hearkens back to the days when Audi was known as Auto Union, a joint venture of four German auto manufacturers. The original Auto Union Type C dominated the auto racing in 1936 and has proven itself to be one of the most popular heritage models among Audi’s miniature offerings.

It’s no wonder, then, that they would choose the Type C to be their most elaborate collectors’ item.So what exactly makes this the most expensive toy car? For starters, the car is built at a 1:2 scale. This means it can accommodate drivers up to just under four and a half feet tall. Like a full-sized Audi race car, the space frame and body are made from aluminum paneling. It also features a hydraulic dual-disc brake, seven-speed hub gear and leather upholstery. The expensive pedal car was unveiled to a rapt audience at the Paris Motor Show in 2006 and has a limited run of 999 models. It can be ordered from your local Audi importer.
