Hey people of the 80 and 90’s, remember the ‘Hot Wheels’ toy cars? Hot Wheels is celebrating its 40th anniversary. To make it special Hot Wheels assigned a jeweller from Beverly Hills to make a special car. The car now costs $140,000. It is encrusted with diamonds and weighs 23 karats. This car was cast in 18 carat white gold and it is set in brilliant blue diamonds mimicking the Hot Wheels Spectra Flame blue paint.
Under the hood, the engine is adorned with additional micro-pave set in white and black diamonds. The underbelly which carries the logo has been set in white and black diamonds as well. Red rubies are the taillights. To recreate the signature red line wheels, black diamonds with red enamel have been used.
The car will be presented in a special case and is embedded with 40 white diamonds signifying each anniversary. It will be auctioned sometime in the last quarter of 2008. These are times when I wish I was born with a golden spoon that would get me this diamond car! Being Hot (Wheels) is still so Cool!
