Most Extravagant Car

From a foot-long sterling silver Bentley replica that costs more than some luxury cars to a $13,300 Audi pedal car for the kids, there's a car-related gift even for those who have everything.




Take, for example, Bentley's $55,000 Blower Model, a foot-long replica of a 1920s-era Bentley painstakingly rendered from sterling silver. Sure, springing for $395 Bentley cuff links would have been impressive, but let's face it, they aren't available in a limited edition of 10 like the Blower Model, and nor do they take 20 weeks for delivery. So get your order in now for next year. It's the kind of gift that says, "I could have bought you a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but they're simply too common."


Bentley fans aren't the only ones who can be spoiled. Aston Martin devotees who consider the sexy British cars to be art will appreciate a photograph of their favorite model juxtaposed with work by Anselm Kiefer, Jean Nouvel, or Tony Cragg, among other noted artists. Pricing for a framed print of any of the pieces comes in at just under $7,000.
