But a solid gold scale model replica of a Bugatti? For double the cost? Where’s Master P with his solid gold toilet when you need him most? Built by Stuart Hughes, the 1:18 scale model features 7.2 carats of single cut flawless diamonds, functional steering and operational hoods, which admittedly is pretty cool. But I don’t care that it took over 2 months to build, or that only 3 will be made, because that only means there are 2 other Russian oil oligarchs out there as stupid as I am.
