You Can Now Buy a $49,000 Electric Mercedes-Benz SL300 for Your Child



If you’re one of those parents with more money than sense, this scaled-down version of the legendary 1950s-60s Mercedes-Benz SL300 can be yours for just under $50,000. Advertised as the perfect toy car for kids and adults alike, this fully functional automobile features all the bells and whistles of the original, including the lateral exhausts, dash gauges and switches, as well as the iconic Mercedes badge. It has an impressive load capacity of 264 pounds and is powered by a 1.5 kW electric motor that allows it to reach speeds of up to 28mph. Complete with adjustable leather seats, an aluminum instrument panel, a transmission mode selector, a subwoofer, and functional lights, the miniature Mercedes-Benz SL300 is obviously no joke. At $49,000, it costs more than most decent full-sized cars. The unique miniature is sold by Aleksey Mercedes, a high-end car dealership in Russia that specializes in both full-size and miniature replicas of luxury vehicles.
