Who knew Go-Karts could be so valuable?

Okay, so it’s not technically a genuine Ferrari, but this F-Racer Junior certainly looks the part, just a little smaller than the real thing.
Measuring in at around 8.5 feet by 5.25 feet–suitable for “two children or one adult driver,” per the seller–the F-Racer is powered by a 270cc gas engine that is capable of a top speed of 35 mph. Hydraulic disc brakes provide the stopping power, with independent suspension (with dampers, no less) on all four corners.
Just like a real F40, however, this pint-sized speed machine is rare: It’s just one of 10 produced to be finished in black over a black interior.
How much? RM Sotheby’s estimates this F-Racer Junior will sell for $30,000-$50,000 at its upcoming Monterey auction. So this, or a new Miata?
That's pretty close to the size of my Exocet, now that I think about it.
...and it looks better and better built than most of the Fierrari's I've seen over the years. =P
Kidding aside, stick a motorcycle engine / transmission in that thing and I bet it's a riot.
