BLOGSIA.EU.ORG - A luxury toy car resembling the classic Mercedes-Benz SL300 has drawn attention in Russia after being listed for sale at a staggering price of $49,128.
The miniature car, created by ALEKSEY MERCEDES, a Russian luxury car dealer specializing in replicas, is designed to look nearly identical to the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL300 McLaren from the 1950s and 1960s. The model is more than just a collectible—it is a fully functional vehicle.
According to Oddity Central, the scaled-down car comes equipped with a side exhaust, dashboard panel with working indicators, switches, and the iconic Mercedes-Benz logo. Despite being marketed as a toy, the vehicle can actually be driven on the road.
The toy car is powered by a 1.5 kW electric motor and has a load capacity of up to 120 kilograms. It can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour, making it suitable not only for children but also for adults who want to relive the charm of vintage cars in miniature form.
Luxury details further enhance the appeal. The replica features adjustable leather seats, an aluminum instrument panel, a gear selector, subwoofers, and fully functioning headlights, giving it the look and feel of a genuine luxury vehicle.
The hefty price tag of $49,128 is higher than many regular-sized cars on the market. Still, in Russia, this unique miniature Mercedes-Benz is marketed as a toy car, blurring the line between collectible and luxury vehicle.
ALEKSEY MERCEDES has built a reputation for producing full-size and miniature replicas of classic luxury cars. With this extravagant Mercedes-Benz SL300 replica, the company once again demonstrates how far the passion for automotive design can go—even in toy form.
