Nicholas Mee & Co., an Aston Martin Heritage Dealer in West London, has created the DB Convertible Junior. This luxury go-kart is designed to be a downsized version of the iconic Aston Martin convertibles made in the 1960s. This pint-sized convertible is designed for younger drivers who just can't wait to get their license.
The DB Convertible Junior is rear-wheel drive and has a top speed of 46 mph (this can be lowered by parents). The car sports a 110cc gas engine and features working gauges and lights. It comes in silver, other paint options are available, and the interior can be covered either in leather or vinyl. As you might expect, the DB Convertible Junior doesn't come cheap. You're looking at spending about $27,000 should you want to get your hands on one.
