Those wondering if the Lamborghini Aventador is worth its $400,000 sticker price will be shocked to find out that the world is about to get a $7.5 million Aventador made of solid gold. Then again, this is shocking news even if you think the “normal” Aventador is worth the money.
We are talking about a scale model Aventador. This should weigh 55 pounds (25 kg) and be built from a 1,100-pound (500 kg) block of solid gold. And we haven’t even gotten to the funny part yet.

Somewhere in Dubai, there’s a showroom that holds a... model of this model, which uses less costy materials, but it’s enough for people to get an idea of the real deal.

The solid gold Aventador is a project belonging to Robert Gülpen. It was announced back in 2011 and, even though is still hasn’t been built, it most likely will be. Along the way, you should also expect some Guiness World Records.

A five-axis milling machine will create an aluminum mold relying on digital models of the car - Lamborghini itself is involved in this project.

Gülpen's website is inviting buyers to express their desires and will gift the car with whatever exotic materials required.
