Red Bull X2010 Custom-Made Scale Model Hits eBay

Accessories Other September 16th, 2011 by Jordan

Since the Red Bull X2010′s existence was announced nearly one year ago, there’s been surprisingly little promotion of the vehicle in the form of real-world merchandise. A scale-modeler in the UK has decided to change that by taking matters into his own hands, building a 1/43 diorama of the car and putting it up for sale on eBay. Needless to say, it would be the perfect addition to any Gran Turismo collection.

It appears to be well-executed, painted in “dark blue metallic” with a removable, smoked-glass canopy. It’s available to purchase internationally for £325.00, though as of writing, the listing will only be available for a few more hours (it’s now been re-listed for £275). Head on over to eBay.co.uk for more details, pictures, and order information.

    1:43 of a real x2010 would be $465,116. Just sayin’.

    A little pricey, especially for something in 1:43 scale. I think 80-120 would be better. I’d buy on then.

      $25, and that’s as high up as I go.

    325 pounds?! Sorry, but I’m not going to shell out that much money no matter how much I like the design of that car.

    With all due respect, alot of kudos for his work and all that. But i wouldn’t even pay that much even if it was a replica of my own car.

      About two hundred million ;)

    That’s to expensive and it looks like cheap material.
    For that price it needs to be more detailed.
    The CE GT5 scale GT-R model looks better.

      Apokalipse

      Can’t comment on the material from the pictures, but it’s not fair to compare this and the GT-R. This is a one off hand built model and the CE scale model is something mass produced in a factory. And the details look fine.

      You’re right Apokalipse. The headlights could have been a lil better, though. To me, it is a very attractive side of the car.

      I was gonna say, that X1 looks a bit if-fy, not to be a bit condescending to the sculptor. I would’ve expected Hot Wheels to be making 1/64 models of the X1 a year ago; would’ve been an awesome campaign (of course, you bring unwanted 6 year olds online, but hey, more customers anyway).

      it doesn’t look perfect to the one in the game. the headlights are wrong and it looks to me like there is an angle in the canopy. i don’t see a front spoiler ( the small ones under the lights) either. the stripes on top of the front wheels are faded in the game.

    I like the car but I cannot justify paying (as of today) $513.53 for a 1/43rd scale model.

      1/43 scale??? Get the F outta here!!!

    £325, as if someone actually gonna pay that. no doubt it will be widely available soon for £20 everywhere.

      After probably putting in days of work into making the thing, i would probably charge that much aswell. Building models from no real dimensions and making a good 1/43 scale is really hard.

      Well people used to buy the x1 car off me on eBay when the x1 was tradeable and if people were willing to pay me 30 pounds for that then this will sell for 300 easily!!

      That asking price is stupid considering scale . Having said that there is a 1/8 scale Aventador that costs more than the real thing !!!
