Bristol, UK, Tuesday 9th June 2026 - The Amalgam Collection, in collaboration with Ferrari, today unveiled a remarkable 1:4 scale Ferrari 499P Engine and Gearbox model. This collaboration offers avid fans of the iconic prancing horse a unique opportunity to explore the intricate powertrain that helped return Ferrari to overall victory at Le Mans in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Developed from original reference material and created to Amalgam's exacting standards, the model captures the remarkable complexity of the Ferrari 499P's V6 engine and seven-speed sequential gearbox in extraordinary detail.
The Ferrari 499P marked Ferrari's return to the top class of endurance racing after a 50-year absence and has since become one of the most significant racing cars of the modern era. The launch of the engine and gearbox model arrives as Ferrari once again prepares to compete for glory at Circuit de la Sarthe, making it a fitting moment to celebrate the technology behind one of endurance racing's defining success stories.
Every component has been painstakingly recreated to an extraordinary level of accuracy using original design data provided by Ferrari, reflecting a standard of craftsmanship more commonly associated with fine watchmaking than conventional model production. The result offers collectors a rare opportunity to appreciate the complexity and beauty of the Ferrari 499P's engineering in unprecedented detail.
Produced at a substantial 1:4 scale, the model showcases the intricate architecture of the 499P's twin-turbocharged V6 power unit and transmission assembly, revealing engineering details normally hidden beneath the bodywork of the Hypercar. Every component has been faithfully recreated to provide a compelling insight into the design and construction of Ferrari's modern endurance racing masterpiece.
The release completes Amalgam Collection's comprehensive Ferrari 499P range, which already includes multiple race-winning Le Mans editions, race-weathered models, full-scale steering wheel recreations and highly detailed scale replicas celebrating the car's historic achievements at the world's greatest endurance race.
Sandy Copeman, Founder of Amalgam Collection, said: "Having worked alongside Ferrari for more than twenty years, we are uniquely privileged to receive access to original CAD files, engineering data and reference material directly from the teams that create these remarkable machines. That access, combined with the involvement and approval of Ferrari throughout the development process, allows us to create models with a level of accuracy that simply cannot be achieved any other way.
"The Ferrari 499P V6 Engine and Gearbox demonstrates what is possible when engineering data and craftsmanship come together. Like a fine mechanical watch, its beauty lies in the complexity and precision of its construction. Our goal is always to create the world's finest model cars, and that can only be achieved through genuine collaboration with the people who designed the original."

ABOUT AMALGAM COLLECTION
Amalgam’s team of craftspeople are recognised worldwide as makers of the finest hand-made large-scale models. Their work is unique in its attention to detail, with a focus on creating models that truly capture the style and spirit of each car. They have dedicated all their skill and passion to achieving a level of excellence that raises the impact and value of each finished piece far above anything previously created.
For cars they have already modelled at 1:8 in a limited edition, the team at Amalgam offers a Tailor Made Service, customising a model to perfectly match the specification of an owner’s real car. For owners of unique very high value cars, Amalgam Collection offers even bigger 1:5 or 1:4 ‘one-off’ model builds from their UK workshops in Bristol, England. The team will digitally scan the car wherever it is in the world and take up to a thousand pictures to capture every detail, allowing them to perfectly and accurately replicate everything at scale. Given the significant number of hours required to develop a unique model, the costs are high, so the model is built at a very large scale to maximise the impact and detail, and to deliver the ultimate finished piece.
Amalgam Collection’s design, management and development heart is in England, with extraordinarily skilled and dedicated teams producing the bigger editions in Hungary and China. They are a multinational, multicultural team of craftsmen and women, dedicated to creating the world’s most precise, beautiful and exclusive models. Inspired by the F1 teams and iconic luxury car marques of England and Italy that they serve and partner with, they take huge pride in their mission to perfectly capture the designs, and honour the designers, drivers and creators of the automotive art they love.
HOW THE MODELS ARE CREATED
- The patterns are created using original CAD from the manufacturer, or extraordinarily accurate digital scans and hundreds of photographs of an original classic car.
- The patterns are used to create silicon rubber moulds that capture every detail.
- Prototyping resin is used to cast the parts from the silicon moulds. Around 20 to 30 parts can be cast from each mould and then a new one must be made.
- Each model is built from thousands of parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components.
- Genuine car paints and manufacturer or archive colour references are used to spray the bodywork.
- It takes between 2,500 and 4,500 hours to develop the tooling for each model.
- It takes between 250 and 450 hours to cast, fit, fettle, paint and build each model.
Every Amalgam model is made entirely by hand from thousands of parts. Detailed original CAD data is supplied by the car's manufacturer or the race team of the car to be modelled. The process of developing each model and creating the master patterns takes between 2,500 and 4,500 hours of skilled work depending on the complexity of the car, with classic cars taking the longest.
In the case of the classic cars an extremely accurate digital scan is made of the car, and hundreds of photographs of all the details of a carefully selected original car are taken, to ensure complete accuracy and adherence to the authentic finishes and materials. Many parts of the model are machined from metal with the major components hand cast from prototyping resin. Each model is individually assembled by a small team of highly skilled model-makers. In total the time taken to machine, cast, hand fettle, paint, polish and assemble each model is between 250 and 450 hours of highly skilled work depending on the complexity of the car.
The finished model is a very precise scale replica of the original car with every detail perfectly and authentically represented at an 8th of the original size. This is modelling elevated to such a high level that it becomes an art form.
Since 1995 Amalgam have been admired and hugely respected by leading designers and engineers in the European automotive industry, as well as F1 designers, drivers and team principals. Amalgam's models appear on the desks of CEOs and presidents of the world's most important car companies. Due to the extreme accuracy and authenticity of Amalgam's creations, made in small limited editions, they are also much sought after by devoted collectors of fine handmade objects across Europe and in the USA.
