Oi Diddy, are you bored of your blinged-up Maybach? Well how about this diamond-covered Lamborghini Murcielago? It'd look great on your driveway. Or do we mean mantelpiece? Because despite its hefty price tag, you can't drive it – it's a tiny toy.
Toy company Maisto has teamed up with Swarovski to make the luxury little Lambo, covering it with 7,668 crystals. And unlike most manufacturer tat you see on sale, it's the sort of thing that is likely to be bought by people who own Lamborghinis. Because at £1,500, it's slightly more expensive than your typical Matchbox car.
It's still considerably cheaper than the £190,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 costing around the same as speccing 'special paint' on a working model. Just 550 will be sold in Europe, but let's be honest, at £1,500 a pop they may struggle to shift them.
The Lamborghini, which was showcased at toy store Hamleys yesterday, is billed as one of the finest gifts available this Christmas. Better start saving then…
