=={{anchor|Junior}} Junior cars== [[File:Bugatti Type 52 - Ettore Bugatti et ses fils Roland et Jean Bugatti.jpg|thumb|Roland and Jean Bugatti in their Baby Bugattis]] Junior cars are motorized cars for children, typically copies of real designs. Originally powered either by electric engines or small internal combustion engines, electric engines currently dominate. From the 1926 [[Bugatti Type 52|Baby Bugatti]] until today, junior cars are often as expensive as a real car and are built to a higher standard than a ride-in toy car. As with the Bugatti, these are frequently sold directly by real car manufacturers such as Porsche and Ferrari. In the 1990s Aston Martin built a half-scale junior car version of the then-new [[Aston Martin Virage#Volante|Aston Martin Virage Volante]], with a handmade aluminium body, leather interior, and 160-cc Honda engine. It cost as much as a brand new [[Mercedes-Benz W201|Mercedes-Benz 190E]].<ref name="TV1091.15">{{cite magazine | ref = CJ91 | title = Salongsberusning | trans-title = Salon drunk | language = sv | magazine = [[Teknikens Värld]] | publisher = Specialtidningsförlaget AB | location = Stockholm, Sweden | page = 15 | date = 1991-05-16 | issue = 10 | volume = 43 | first1 = Claes | last1 = Johansson | first2 = Jonas | last2 = Fröberg }}</ref> Manufacturers include [[Pocket Classics]], the [[Little Car Company]], [[Eshelman]], and [[Hackney (automobile)|Hackney]].
