My jaw dropped when I first saw these. I thought they were the actual vehicles. They're 1/8 scale and cast in fiberglass. Many are based off a 1/10 scale chassis.

The work is stunning but a bit out of the price range I'd be willing to pay for an RC (~2500 euros). I hope a manufacturer like Tamiya would produce a kit like this someday at a more mass market price.

From the Diamond Cars website..

"In order to underline the exclusivity of your model, radio-controlled propulsion by electric engine can be installed upon request. In this case, the chassis is made with components from TAMIYA und KYOSHO. All commercially available tuning parts can be installed. These models are delivered ready for action, complete with functioning front and rear lights, electric engine, two-channel radio control, infinitely variable electronic drive control, and battery. Top speed is ca. 20 mph."
