I couldn't stop laughing

A 1/8 - 918 Spyder Model for, now sit down, the rock bottom bargain price of $7,595.00

"Just as rare as the original. Limited to 918 units. High-end, true-to-life resin model of the 918 Spyder in 1:8 scale, handcrafted with 165 individual parts. With limited-edition insignia. Wooden base. Acrylic display case. In liquid Metal Silver.

Key features: Very detailed, high-quality resin model constructed from 165 individual handcrafted components. The model's hood and doors cannot be opened - this allows joints to be produced true to scale in exact detail (typical for high end models of this size). Design coordinated down to the finest detail with the design department in Weissach."


but here's the kicker: "Looking for a customized version of this model? Available for an extra cost, contact us for more details."

It's a big mother: Weight: approx 20 kg.
Case Dimensions: 77 x 39.5 x 25.5 cm.

Was going to buy it for my 6yr old son. I told him the following from the description and he said no way! Ha ha.

"The model's hood and doors cannot be opened"

I don't know, that limited-edition insignia sure adds a lot to the package? How much for PTS? Wonder how soon the .2 face lift comes out.


PS- Almost forgot to say "aggressive".

The only thing "rare" is spending that sort of money on a Hybrid. No thanks!

Give me a gas guzzler. No charging up please!

For that amount of money, it is just cheaper to hire someone to drive another vehicle and carry the luggage at the same time!

Nice business model. Look at it this way. They only need to find 1 stupid consumer that buys one and they are break even or in large profit !

They'll probably sell them all, the truth is, if you can pay 1mil for a car, you'll probably buy this model without thinking to much about it.

Cant fault the company if they know their customers!

For that money, skip luggage and buy what you want when you get there!

When they buy $300 painted key fobs, they figure that they'll buy $8000 models
