Audi’s Auto Union Type C pedal car may just be the world’s most expensive toy car. At an unofficial price of over $14,000 USD, the pedal car hearkens back to the days when Audi was known as Auto Union, a joint venture of four German auto manufacturers. The original Auto Union Type C dominated the auto racing in 1936 and has proven itself to be one of the most popular heritage models among Audi’s miniature offerings.

It’s no wonder, then, that they would choose the Type C to be their most elaborate collectors’ item.So what exactly makes this the most expensive toy car? For starters, the car is built at a 1:2 scale. This means it can accommodate drivers up to just under four and a half feet tall. Like a full-sized Audi race car, the space frame and body are made from aluminum paneling. It also features a hydraulic dual-disc brake, seven-speed hub gear and leather upholstery. The expensive pedal car was unveiled to a rapt audience at the Paris Motor Show in 2006 and has a limited run of 999 models. It can be ordered from your local Audi importer.

Worries over potential wine fraud have started to hit the auction houses prompting the pulling of a pricey Bordeaux bottle. An Imperial of 1961 Chateau Petrus was expected to be auctioned off on Saturday by Edward Roberts International in Chicago.

The single bottle was expected to bring in around $150,000. The  auction house decided to withdraw the bottle from the auction in order to doublecheck the authenticity. The auction house has said they will put the bottle back on the block once all the documentation is in order. As more and more people see wine as an investment with possible big returns the stakes have been raised. Potential lawsuits such as the one filed by billionaire collector Wiliiam Koch may also be behind the increased scrutiny and the need to document the provenance of the investment bottles.
