mmmmm, my wife has just said the same. However a quick tot up of parts = £1000. A bit extreme for a kids toy.

£1000?! It'd be cheaper to build one of these - I believe this site has some useful info

There must be a way to build the grasshopper locost style - all you'd really need to buy would be the grp, everything else could be
salvaged/made/shopped about for.

What about an electric kart, rather than a car?
Depending on the gear, you could maybe drop a small petrol engine in when he's a bit older...?
