You don’t need to spend millions to build one.
What is the most expensive vehicle in the world. If we are talking about prices when new, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is the winner. It’s rumored that it will cost $28 million. Officially though, it’s the Bugatti la Voiture Noire that takes the honor with a sticker price of $18.7million.
However, the combined price of both European exotics is not as high as that of a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. David MacNeil purchased chassis number 4153GT from the Italian classic for $70 million in a private sale. This made the 250 GTO the most expensive vehicle in the world. It shouldn’t surprise that only 36 examples were ever produced of this nameplate.
What do you do if your son wants a multi-million dollar car? A YouTuber who is skilled in woodworking says that it’s better to build than buy. It’s a miniature wooden Ferrari 250 GTO, which is made in Vietnam.
The entire process took 70 days according to the video. The entire process can be viewed via the embedded video atop the page. It involves attaching the frame to the body and shaping the curves. This is not an easy task.
Despite its small size, the 250 GTO is actually driveable with an electric powertrain. Sorry, there’s no Colombo V12 engine. It is shown driving on public roads. However, we doubt it is road legal. It’s not our concern.
We couldn’t help but marvel at the father’s dedication to giving his son a proper present. The best part is the clincher at 14 minutes. It involves a Mercedes Benz. You might also want to see the entire video.
