YouTuber David Jones sold the cardboard Lamborghini Aventador for $10,420 on Tuesday night with the money going to Starship Children's Hospital in Auckland.
The young YouTuber designed the 'Cardborghini Aventapoor' off a miniature paper model he found online - and simply made it 5.6 times bigger.
The cardboard vehicle measured 1.65m wide and 3.78m in length.
Mr Jones said the Starship Children's Hospital was an obvious choice after he had spent time at Starship as a 14-year-old when he underwent cancer treatment.

'They were the coolest people and they really looked after me, so when I decided what I was going to do I didn't have any other charity cross my mind,' Mr Jones told Stuff.co.nz.
Mr Jones said the Cardborghini idea came after drove he a Lamborghini in Los Angeles but said nobody would rent one to him leaving him with only one option.
'I can't afford to buy one and nobody will rent a Lambo to a 22-year-old so I'm stuck with one option... I need to make my own,' he wrote in the video description.
The Cardborghini came together over two and a half weeks in two different stages, first the cardboard body took a week, then the driving skeleton took a week and a half.
