Cars are becoming an expensive affair these days. To beat that, scale models of the expensive cars are getting more expensive than the actual car itself.

So here is the world's most expansive scale model of a Lamborghini Aventador LP 700- 4, crafted in Germany by Robert Wilhelm Gulpen.

So what makes this car so expensive? It is made up of 500 kg solid block of gold and other precious materials.

Let's take a closer look:
