The epitome of the spirit of racing in the glamorous 1930s era, with victories in Grand Prix racing, at Le Mans four years in succession, and in no less than seven editions of the Mille Miglia, its competition credentials are beyond reproach and, yet, only tell part of the 8C story. The chassis, available in both long chassis Lungo and short chassis Corto form, underpinned some of the finest and most elegant touring cars of its day, featuring timeless coachwork from contemporary Carrozzerie including Zagato, Touring, Castagna, and Brianza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis said, it is in its renowned ‘Monza’ form that the 8C is perhaps most admired. In 1931, Alfa Romeo added two additional cylinders to the 6C 1750, creating the 8C 2300, before preparing a stripped down, short-wheelbase version of the chassis—complete with tapered racing tail and full-length side exhaust—to be driven by Tazio Nuvolari and Giuseppe Campari in their home Grand Prix in Monza. A dominant victory in Alfa Romeo’s back yard would lead to the moniker by which it would forever be known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictories followed repeatedly for the Monza, including three consecutive Targa Florio wins (1931-1933), the domination of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for four uninterrupted years (1931-1934) and numerous Grand Prix successes across Europe, parading the fact that the 8C had become practically invincible. The 8C became inescapably linked with the legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari who won many competitions behind the wheel, including the 1931 Coppa Ciano, two instances of the Targa Florio (those 1931 and 1932 victories), the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1933 Mille Miglia to add to that prestigious Italian Grand Prix at Monza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8C enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and the 1932 variant no doubt benefited from an enlarged 2665cc version of the engine, fed through not one but two superchargers. In 1933, Alfa Romeo retired the Monza from works racing, but a brigade of successful privateers carried the 8C mantle. The supremacy of the 8C meant that it continued to perform well on track well into the middle of the decade and its undoubted character and style made it an icon of the age. It remains one of the most sought-after cars of all time; in 2016, a Monza sold at sold for just short of $12 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 as raced to victory by Tazio Nuvolari at the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix on the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of April 1932. It was the fourth running of the event, which had already gained international fame, and Alfa Romeo’s first appearance as a works team in Monaco, where they faced the teams from Bugatti and Maserati. Racing for the outfit from Portello, all in red Monzas, were the Italian trio of Nuvolari, Giuseppe Campari and Mario Umberto Borzacchini. There was a fourth car, a white Monza, for the German Rudolf Caracciola, who was not yet part of the official factory team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entry list was by invitation only and just 17 cars appeared on the grid, after two of the original 19 failed to start. Even though all the cars had been timed throughout practice, the order of the starting grid was still determined by ballot, Nuvolari being handed eleventh on the grid. The Italian started fantastically, passing seven cars within the first five laps, and settling into second position after ten laps. Despite Nuvolari's speed, he set a new fastest time of two minutes and four seconds on lap 12, he was unable to gain ground on the fast-starting Bugatti of Louis Chiron. The leading trio, including the Bugatti of Achille Varzi only five seconds behind the Alfa, began to pull away from the rest of the field, the followers matching the front-runner’s pace. After thirty laps, Nuvolari started to apply the pressure and gained ground on the leading Bugatti. Chiron rushed to pass one of the backmarkers and grazed the sandbags on the corner at the Quai de Plaisance, propelling the car into the air and turning it over, throwing Chiron into the road. Fortunately, Chiron was uninjured by the fall from his vehicle, except for some cuts and bruises, and recovered quickly, but this had wrecked Bugatti’s best chance for the win and handed the lead over to Alfa Romeo. It was a lead Nuvolari would not relinquish. Caracciola followed behind in the privateer Alfa Romeo, for the last forty laps, slowly closing the distance lap by lap, but declined to win when presented with the opportunity to overtake, as Nuvolari had almost dealt with the challenge of Bugatti singlehandedly and was now suffering from interruptions to his fuel supply. The duo crossed the line just 2.8 seconds apart. From the 17 cars at the start only ten finished after three and a half hours of racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Alfa Romeo 2300 8C is limited to only 199 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/pages\/bespoke-one-off-models\" title=\"Bespoke Models at Amalgam Collection\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDiscover more about our Bespoke Models \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249547456594,"sku":"M5544-NUV","price":19995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/DSCF3809.jpg?v=1701695491"},{"product_id":"audi-r8-2005-le-mans","title":"Audi R8 - 2005 Le Mans Winner","description":"\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 199 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the 2005 ADT Champion Racing No. 3 car and as raced to victory in 2005 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by Tom Kristensen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 58 cms\/22 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 2750 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 275 hours to build and weather each model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs, paint codes and material specifications provided by Audi AG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most successful Le Mans racers of all time, the Audi R8 Le Mans Prototype took victory in five of the six years it competed between 2000 and 2005, only losing out to the Bentley Speed 8 in 2003.

While it never won an endurance race, the Blower Bentley was the outright fastest race car of the day, born from a philosophy devised by Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin, notable racing driver and Bentley Boy, to extract more speed from the racing Bentleys of the day using a supercharger. Birkin then persuaded Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato to sanction production of 55 supercharged 4 ½ litre Bentleys, with five allocated for competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Blower Bentley is the most iconic pre-war Bentley and is coveted by collectors globally. For many, the 4 ½ litre is to automobiles what the Supermarine Spitfire is to aircraft, as much an icon as it is an engineering marvel. Examples are regularly auctioned for millions, whilst an example sold in 2012 fetched over $7,000,000. Counted amongst its fans was the author Ian Fleming, who later decided that his famous fictional secret agent James Bond would drive a supercharged 4 ½ litre Bentley in the novels Casino Royale, Live and Let Die and Moonraker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ‘Blower’ is born\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blower engine started life as the naturally aspirated 4 ½ litre engine, designed by WO Bentley himself. Like Bentley’s three litre before it, the 4 ½ litre brought together the latest individual engine technologies of the time – a single overhead camshaft, twin-spark ignition, four valves per cylinder and, of course, Bentley’s now legendary aluminium pistons. The racing version of WO’s 4 ½ litre engine developed approximately 130 bhp, but Birkin wanted more. WO’s focus was always on reliability and refinement ahead of absolute power, so his solution to finding more power was always to increase engine capacity. Birkin had a different plan: to supercharge the 4 ½, an idea that WO thought ‘corrupted’ his design, and he refused to allow any modifications to the engine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith funding from his wealthy financier Dorothy Paget, and the technical skills of Clive Gallop, Birkin commissioned supercharger specialist Amherst Villiers to create a supercharger for the 4 ½ litre. The Roots-type supercharger – colloquially known as a blower – was fitted ahead of the engine and radiator and driven directly from the crankshaft. Internal modifications to the engine included a new, stronger crankshaft, reinforced connecting rods, and a modified oil system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Breaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn racing tune, Birkin’s new supercharged 4 ½ litre engine was mighty, outputting around 240 bhp. The ‘Blower Bentleys’ were therefore extremely fast but, as WO predicted, also somewhat fragile. Over the 12 races that the Blowers contested, a victory was never secured, but the Blowers played their part in Bentley history, including helping to secure victory for a naturally-aspirated Bentley Speed Six at Le Mans in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the cars were ultimately not for winning races, they were ones for breaking records and setting fastest laps, flying round the tracks of England and France. In 1930, the No. 9 Bentley Blower, driven by D.J. Benjafield and Eddie Hall, came 2nd in the BRDC 500 mile event, averaging 112.12 mph, and being awarded the coveted Brooklands 120 mph badge. Tim Birkin also set a lap record at Circuit de la Sarthe driving the No. 9 in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bentley Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSir Henry “Tim” Birkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDressed in a blue and white spotted silk scarf around his neck and sporting a neatly trimmed moustache, Sir Henry was every inch the British sporting hero. An ex-fighter pilot and baronet, he was driven by a passion for speed and famously persuaded the wealthy heiress Dorothy Paget to finance a team of 4 ½ litre Bentleys, known as the ‘Blowers’. Ultimately too fragile for endurance racing, the ‘Blowers’ were unbeatable in sprints with Birkin at the wheel, culminating in a speed record at Brooklands of 137.96mph in 1932. Birkin also celebrated two outright victories at Le Mans: his first in 1929 with Woolf Barnato behind the wheel of a Bentley Speed Six, and his second with Earl Howe piloting a Alfa Romeo 8C in 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean Chassagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvolved in automotive, aviation, and motorboat racing since 1906, Chassagne began as a riding mechanic before taking the wheel himself. At 47, he joined the ‘Bentley Boys,’ and any doubts about “Old Chassagne” being past his prime were swiftly dispelled at the 1929 Le Mans. There, the Frenchman ran three miles while carrying two pit jacks to retrieve his Bentley, which had suffered a rim collapse and had been abandoned at Arnage by teammate Birkin. His heroic effort secured a fifth-place finish for the duo and highlighted why he was held in the highest regard and affection by his peers. Meticulous, resilient, and amiable, Chassagne possessed a delicate driving touch to complement his loyal and unpretentious nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 21st and 22nd of June 1930\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the hands of Sir “Tim” Birkin and Jean Chassagne, the No. 9 was involved in an epic duel with the Mercedes-Benz SSK piloted by Rudolf Caracciola and Christian Werner. The SSK started strongly in the bright sunshine but, by the fourth lap, Birkin was on Caracciola’s tail at the Pontlieue curves. Accelerating to 195 km\/h, he passed the Mercedes as they braked heavily for the Mulsanne corner, continuing on to set a new lap record of 6 minutes 48 seconds. On the next lap, however, the tread came off a rear tyre and forced him to pit for a rapid wheel change. Birkin quickly rejoined the race and caught up with the Mercedes again, but as he passed Caracciola on the Mulsanne Straight, the other tyre failed. Despite dropping two wheels off the road, he completed the pass, only for the tyre to blow at Arnage, prompting another pit stop. By nightfall, after five separate tyre failures, Birkin and Chassagne were running seventh. However, their pressure on the Mercedes soon became clear, the SSK retiring at the halfway point with a flat battery after a wire had come loose on its dynamo. The second half of the race devolved into a routine procession, with early morning mist and rain dampening the excitement. Just before midday, four hours from the end of the race, the Blower broke a conrod and had to retire, leaving the victory to the Bentley works team Speed Six of Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston. Birkin’s fearless driving, especially his selfless harrying of Caracciola, is still celebrated as the embodiment of the Vintage Racing era, and is often credited as the key to Bentley’s success at the 1930 Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, Bentley revealed that the 1929 supercharged 4 ½ litre “Blower” would become the subject of the world’s first continuation of a pre-war race car, with 12 new models to be built to the exact specifications of the originals, one for each race the original Team Blowers competed in. These cars were individually handcrafted by Bentley’s bespoking and coachwork division Mulliner, blending traditional craftsmanship skills with the latest digital technology. Bentley’s own Blower, chassis number HB 3403, served as the template; it was disassembled and individual components were catalogued and meticulously scanned in 3D to create a complete digital model. Twelve sets of parts were then created using original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, and an array of traditional hand tools alongside the latest manufacturing technology, before Bentley’s skilled heritage technicians assembled the new Blowers. Identical mechanically, aesthetically and spiritually wherever possible to the original, the cars included minimal hidden modifications to pass modern safety tests. Like the original Blowers, the Continuation Series models were designed for racing and passed a rigorous inspection programme to qualify for an Historic Technical Passport, allowing them to compete at FIA-sanctioned events for historic vehicles. In 2023, Car Zero, the prototype continuation model, participated in the Le Mans Classic, marking the first Blower entry at Circuit de la Sarthe in 21 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is a perfect replica of the No. 9 Bentley 4½ litre which competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 21 and 22 June 1930.

Master-minded by Achim Anscheidt, every element of the Chiron was designed to be a combination of reminiscence to its history, taking its name from Bugatti racing legend Louis Chiron, and the most innovative technology. The result was a unique creation of enduring value, and breath-taking automotive accomplishment. Its sophisticated design, innovative technology, and iconic, performance-oriented form made it a unique masterpiece of art, shape and technique, pushing boundaries beyond imagination. The Chiron was an attempt to create something very different from contemporary engine manufacturers, such as Ferrari and McLaren with their leanings towards hybrid technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo reach its unprecedented levels of performance, the Chiron effortlessly merged its captivating beauty with sleek, muscular efficiency, creating a spectacular reinterpretation of the Bugatti design DNA. At the heart of the Chiron was its quad-turbocharged eight litre W16 engine. This unique masterpiece generated an incredible 1,500hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, with four high-performing turbochargers worked in a two-stage controlled configuration. A remarkable 60,000 litres of air were pumped through the engine every minute whilst, simultaneously, 800 litres of water per minute circulated through its core, guaranteeing the cooling of the engine to generate the extraordinary power. A new titanium exhaust system with reduced gas back pressure and lightweight materials, such as carbon fibre, maximised power and performance. The intelligent air intake management significantly improved aerodynamics and enhanced the cooling efficiency for engine and brakes, whilst the distinctive quad LED headlights also served as air intakes to the front brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chiron could power from a standstill to 62mph (100 km\/h) in 2.4 seconds, make 124 mph (200 km\/h) in 6.1 seconds, reach 186mph (300 km\/h) in 13.1 seconds and achieve 248.5 mph (400 km\/h) in 32.6 seconds. It also broke the 0–249–0 mph (0–400–0 km\/h) record time, completing it in a ridiculous 41.96 seconds in a span of 2 miles (3.2 kilometres). The Chiron also staggeringly became the first production vehicle to break the 300mph barrier when a pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype was driven at 304.77 mph (490.48 km\/h) at Volkswagen's test facility in Ehra-Lessien.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine model of the Bugatti Chiron is as launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016.

This was seven more than their closest rivals in second place. Wimille would proceed to win the race again in 1939 in the third Tank, the Type 57C. Sadly, designer Jean Bugatti was involved in a fatal accident in that very car, only a few weeks after it had stormed to Le Mans victory.

The 1935 Aérolithe concept, on which the 57SC was based, used Elektron composite for its body panels. This meant the engineers needed to rivet the panels together externally as, although a durable and lightweight material, the alloy was extremely flammable when exposed to high temperatures. The production run of 57SC Atlantics possessed plain aluminium bodies though the dorsal seams were retained for style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlantic name was termed in honour of Jean Bugatti’s pilot friend, Jean Mermoz, who never returned from a South Atlantic aviation journey. The ‘S’ stood for ‘Surbaissé’ (‘Lowered’), which was a major undertaking in itself, and the ‘C’ for ‘Compresseur’, a supercharger that Bugatti introduced in response to customers seeking more horsepower. The iconic long bonnet hid a 197-horsepower 3.3-litre inline-8, which allowed the coupe to clock a top speed in excess of 125 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly four Type 57SCs were ever made, three of which were sold to customers. The first was sold to British banker Victor Rothschild, the third to Parisian businessman Jacques Holzschuh and the fourth car was sold to R.B. Pope of Britain. Tragically, Holzschuh’s Atlantic was involved in a fatal accident which completely destroyed the car. Decades later, the car underwent a painstaking restoration though the engine was unsalvageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the second car, the fabled ‘La Voiture Noire’ (The Black Car). Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use. At the outbreak of the Second World War, La Voiture Noire was sent to a safe region, as German troops invaded Alsace, and lost forever. Its last historical mention is on a list of cars that were to be sent to Rue Alfred Daney in Bordeaux in February 1941. Its disappearance more than 80 years ago remains the biggest mystery in Bugatti’s fabled history. Today, “La Voiture Noire” lives on as a myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create ‘La Voiture Noire’, we used our supremely accurate digital scanning on R.B. Pope’s model, kindly allowed by its current owner Ralph Lauren, and, with the cooperation of Bugatti's automotive historian Julius Kruta, developed this stunningly detailed and precise replica at scale. Using archived images and 3D data acquired from one of only two confirmed surviving examples of the 57SC Atlantic, this is without doubt the best reference to chassis number 57453 in existence.

In an era when the art of race car design was arguably superseded by the science, the Type 59 remained competitive despite its continued use of ‘old-fashioned’ mechanics. Though often defeated by its more modern government-funded rivals, its long, low and slender bodywork, have earned it a very special place in Grand Prix history. The Type 59 remains Bugatti’s last successful Grand Prix racer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 59 is generally regarded as an artistic masterpiece: it still retained the heritage from the iconic and all-conquering Type 35, which Ettore Bugatti had designed a decade earlier, but in extending the wheelbase of the new chassis frame, he created a beautiful Grand Prix car with perfect proportions. Under the all-aluminium bodywork lived its straight-eight engine. The power unit was a new development, led by Ettore’s eldest son Jean, not only to power the Type 59 race car but the upcoming Type 57 grand tourer. In Grand Prix specification, it was fitted with twin camshafts, dry sump lubrication and a lightened crankshaft. At its debut the engine displaced 2.8 litres, which was soon supercharged to just under 3.3 litres, and a separate four-speed gearbox was fitted roughly midway between the engine and rear differential for optimal weight distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 59’s steel ladder frame chassis was nearly identical to that of its predecessor, the Type 54. Unusually the front and rear axles were constructed from two halves treaded together in the middle, adding some flexibility to the traditional solid axles. Ettore Bugatti favoured the two-seater Grand Prix concept, and the Type 59 was no exception, the driver was offset to right of the car’s centre, and his famed eye for design to exquisite detailing such as the superbly engineered piano-wire spoke wheels. This particular addition was supported by strong mechanics: an aluminium back-plate dealt with the torque from the drive and the braking, whilst the spokes themselves only supported radial loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLengthy delays meant that the Type 59 did not debut until late in the 1933 season and the car required modification to compete under the new ’750 kg’ regulations that would come into effect in 1934. The Bugatti was not particularly successful on the track but, although its rivals Auto Union, Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo had made significant innovations with independent suspension and hydraulic brakes, the Type 59 remained competitive, despite its continued use of solid axles and cable operated drum brakes. It won a single major Grand Prix, at Spa in 1934 and, even then, there were many mitigating factors. Bugatti’s German rivals Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union withdrew from the race beforehand (rumoured to be due to issues with Belgian customs authorities at the border) and issues plagued the other competitors, meaning only seven entries started the race, three of which were Type 59s. Bugatti’s remaining major adversary, Alfa Romeo flew into a commanding lead, before both of their entries retired, one due to a crash and the other as the result of a broken oil pipe, leaving the route clear for René Dreyfus and Antonio Brivio to claim a fantastic 1-2 victory for the French marque. The Type 59 did see some more success in minor Grand Prix though: Jean-Pierre Wimille claimed victories at Algiers in 1934 and Deauville in 1936 whilst, in 1935, Robert Benoist won in Picardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Type 59s are prized collector items and have estimated values in excess of £10 million. Just seven cars were built in Grand Prix configuration, of which four raced for the Bugatti works team and all have survived to this day. Current owners include Ralph Lauren and the industrial designer Marc Newson. One former Grand Prix chassis, converted to a sports car configuration back in the 1930s, sold at auction for £9.5 million in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is based on the car as raced by Jean-Pierre Wimille in the Belgian Grand Prix on the 14th of July 1935 at Spa-Francorchamps. Wimille qualified fourth and made a fantastic start flying into second position on the opening lap, but the French hope for victory suffered an early retirement after just seven laps due to engine issues.

Initially a technical experiment for the now Volkswagen-owned Bugatti company, it transformed the motoring landscape forever and rejuvenated the Bugatti brand to no end, turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use. The development is considered one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry. Every single piece of the car was developed from scratch and the engineers at Bugatti worked closely with experts in the aviation and space sectors, industries where materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces. Though the car was setting a new technological benchmark, the design was injected with Bugatti-DNA. The two-tone design created the characteristic side view with the signature Bugatti line. The centre line and horseshoe-shaped radiator grille bridged the gap between the early Bugatti models and the present day. Even the full name, the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4, was a hark back to the marque’s history: ‘EB’ refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the car is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while behind the wheel of Type 57C Tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veyron was many production car firsts: the first with over a thousand horsepower, the first with a W16 engine and the first to break the 250mph (402kph) barrier. The car boasted unparalleled statistics which only a handful of manufacturers have matched since. Powered by an eight-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers that developed 1,001bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, the 1,888kg Veyron possesses a power-to-weight ratio of 523bhp per ton and could accelerate to 60mph in 2.5 seconds. This enabled it to reach a top speed of 253mph (407km\/h), making it the fastest car in the world – a record it would hold for two years. A later variant of the Bugatti would reclaim the record from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and keep that record until 2017, another seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the engine, Bugatti worked in partnership with Michelin to develop the world’s first mass-produced tyre that can withstand speeds in the region of 400km\/h and could be used everyday. Together, they developed a new tyre pressure sensor to withstand the 130 kg centrifugal forces placed upon the wheels at top speed. Carbon-ceramic brakes discs were chosen to withstand brake disc surface temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. In addition, titanium was used for the brake disc hub instead of the usual stainless steel, giving the Veyron by far the strongest braking performance in the automotive and motorsport industry at the time. Bugatti regarded the rear wing to be the most important technical element. At high speed, the wing could flip up to an angle of 55 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, increasing rear axle downforce, thereby improving the distribution of braking power between the front and rear axles. The airbrake alone caused deceleration of up to 0.6 G and, when combined with the 1.4 G generated by the wheel brakes, the Veyron had ample stopping power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Bugatti Veyron is limited to only 99 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/pages\/bespoke-one-off-models\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more about our Bespoke Models \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249551192146,"sku":"M5221-VEN","price":14995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/AmalgamBugattiVeyronBlack_Red1-8_7_PRODUCTPIC.jpg?v=1604338053"},{"product_id":"ferrari-enzo","title":"Ferrari Enzo (2002)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA truly memorable car for Ferrari, the Enzo – named after the founder himself – is one of a handful of supercars that the Italian giant has created over the years using the very pinnacle of the company’s technological achievements of that era from the race track. 2002 was a time of maturing engine technologies in Formula One and the Enzo represents the breed of naturally aspirated, mechanical hypercars built before today’s era of electrical engine technologies had fully emerged.* Just 400 examples were built of the Enzo, and it was created to commemorate Maranello’s first Formula One title of the new millennium.

Exquisitely proportioned, it fused a low-hung nose with hewn Kamm tail and its comforts included a fully trimmed interior and a softer suspension than its track-dwelling siblings.

Its famed charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories, but from the unique sum of its parts. A 2,953cc Columbo V12 engine coupled to a new 5-speed gearbox with a Sergio Scaglietti-designed body on top of a 250 GT chassis; the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of 250 GT development in competition form, whilst remaining a legitimate road car. In recent years, original examples have repeatedly set price records. Chassis 3413 GT sold at auction in 2018 for $48.4 million and, later that same year, chassis 4153 GT was sold in a private sale for a reported $70 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 250 GTO was built on a 2400mm wheelbase and, although the chassis was built along the same lines as the 250 GT SWB on which it was derived, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity. Four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels. The 3-litre V12 power unit was essentially a 250 TR specification engine, producing a claimed power output of 300 bhp, which was paired with a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly development of the new car was shrouded in secrecy, with Giotto Bizzarrini charged with developing a car to take on and beat the Jaguar E Type. On its first outing at Monza in September 1961, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the 250 GTO earned the nickname ‘Il Mostro’ (The Monster), due to its rough-hewn and ill-fitting prototype body. During test sessions, Stirling Moss drove the car to record times far better than those ever achieved by a similar chassis. A ‘palace revolution’ followed later in the year, and Bizzarrini found himself on the outside, with refinement of the GTO body now entrusted to Sergio Scaglietti, who created its definitive shape. The overall shape of the aluminium bodies designed and built by Scaglietti changed very little across the 36-car production run in 1962 and 1963, though the last three cars in the series, built in 1964, received Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodies of a style very similar to that used on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Although the overall body shape didn’t alter to any great degree, the detail differences during the production run certainly did, as refinements were made across the car’s construction span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, the 250 GTO was the sole front-engine model amongst a line-up of mid-engine racers. New owners needed to afford the $18,000 price tag, as well as be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. On its maiden outing in the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, the 250 GTO, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. It also won the GT category easily by a six-lap margin, an impressive debut performance which hinted at the dominant period to come. Ferrari would go on to secure the International Championship for GT Manufacturers comfortably in 1962 and 1963. The 250 GTO would complete the hat-trick in 1964 by smaller margin of six points, having only been caught by Shelby’s competitive AC Cobras (with much larger V8 capacity engines) during its last competitive year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmongst the numerous international successes of the 250 GTO were wins in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964, extending Ferrari’s win streak to nine straight years; GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963 and 1964; victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963; with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nürburgring 1000 km in 1963 and 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Ferrari 250 GTO which was first unveiled to the world at a Press Conference in Maranello February 1962.

The legendary moniker (named after the 250 GTO of the mid-1960s), the stunning styling by Pininfarina, the engine with its seemingly inexhaustible power and the widespread use of innovative composite materials made the GTO the closest thing to a racing car. Largely because that’s exactly what it was conceived to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon lore says the Ferrari 288 GTO was designed to go racing in the subsequently aborted Group B category of rallying, with a limited run of 200 cars to satisfy the two hundred unit build number for homologation purposes. But according to Ferrari engineer and father of the 288 GTO, Nicola Materazzi, the project predated Group B regulations. The GTO, he said, was born out of Enzo Ferrari’s concern that his road cars had lost their edge so much so that cars which were “fractions of Ferraris” could beat them. Whatever the reason for its conception, the GTO never raced. Group B was cancelled for safety reasons but Ferrari persevered. Such was the sensation of its appearance at Geneva, the car sold out immediately before production had even commenced. One potential buyer wanted a GTO so badly that he paid 20,000 Swiss francs for a document attesting that he would buy number 201 if it was built. He was in luck. Ultimately, Ferrari turned out a total of 272 GTOs between 1984-86. Still, dealerships would get no more than one example—and would have to handpick a customer to be approved by Ferrari. Most went for well over their asking price. Today, that’d be a bargain, as the 288 GTO, just like its 1960s predecessor, is now prized on the collector market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GTO really captured the imagination, though visually it was nothing startlingly different to the series production models at the time. The Pininfarina-designed body was formed by old-school methods; designers took their preliminary sketches straight to the workshop, dispensing with then-nascent computer aided design. Flared fenders, spoilers, and multiple air intakes front and rear gave the car a much more aggressive stance: a 308 on steroids. Though based on the 308 series silhouette, they shared very few components. The GTO was highly influenced by the Formula 1 team, using a high-tensile steel spaceframe with Kevlar, fibreglass and aluminium elsewhere. Its 400hp, 2,855cc V8 beating heart defined its unofficial name; its fans christened it the ‘288’ to distinguish it from the legendary 250 GTO. The power unit was mounted longitudinally to improve its 1160kg weight distribution, which allowed the ancillaries, gearbox and twin IHI turbochargers to be more efficiently packaged, though Pininfarina design boss Leonardo Fioravanti still had to stretch the wheelbase by 11cm and widen the track. Despite this, the GTO was 5mm shorter than the 308, due to a reduced rear overhang. It is also the first Ferrari to have ever been fitted twin turbochargers. Boasting a top speed of 189mph (305km\/h), the 288 accelerated to 62mph (100km\/h) in a speedy 4.9 seconds. Regardless of its racing-based origins, the GTO was suitably equipped for road use, with leather trimmed seats as standard and options such as electric windows and air conditioning available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 288 GTO has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Piloted by reigning World Champion Niki Lauda, Swiss racer Clay Regazzoni and for a single race at the Italian Grand Prix, Argentine Carlos Reutemann, the 312 T2 played a large role in one of the most legendary duels in Formula 1 history: Lauda versus James Hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to changes to the aerodynamic rules for the 1976 season, the T2 was practically a brand-new car. Periscope air intakes were banned, limiting the overall height of the car. This meant that new ducts had to be designed, running from the front part of the cockpit to channel air to the two rows of carburettors over the cylinder heads. Other lower ducts sent cooling air to the radiators. The previous year’s suspension was recycled, but the car was now lighter thanks to a new chassis structure, despite a 42mm longer wheelbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 312 T2 replaced its predecessor after three races of the season, all of which Ferrari had won, at the 1976 Spanish Grand Prix. Its debut race saw Lauda beaten by title rival James Hunt, though Hunt was then disqualified in post-race scrutineering. Order was restored two weeks later in Belgium, as a Lauda and Regazzoni took a dominant 1-2 success after qualifying the fastest. Lauda continued his form in Monaco, scoring another pole position and taking victory, whilst Regazzoni crashed out from third after hitting a patch of oil laid down by Hunt’s retired McLaren-Ford. Going into the next race in Sweden, Lauda had already scored more than three times the points of his teammate, who sat second in the Championships standings. Lauda would go on to claim third in Anderstorp, whilst Regazzoni took the final points place in sixth. Ferrari’s worst performance of the season came at race eight in France, both cars retiring due to faults with the usually reliable power units. The team bounced back into contention at the British Grand Prix, after a chaotic start. Regazzoni was quick off the line and, in his attempt to take the race lead from Lauda, made contact with his teammate, breaking the rear wheel on the Austrian’s car and causing damage to Hunt and Jacques Laffite behind. The race was red flagged with debris all over the track. After the restart, Hunt would eventually overtake Lauda for the win after the Ferrari driver suffered gearbox issues halfway through the race. The most infamous event of the season, race ten came at the Nürburgring. After a poor start and an early pit stop for slick tyres in the drying conditions, Lauda was pushing hard to make up for lost time. Just after the fast left kink before the Bergwerk right hand curve, his car snapped to the right and spun through the fencing into an earth bank, bouncing back onto the track enveloped in flames. The three drivers immediately following Lauda, Guy Edwards, Harald Ertl and Brett Lunger (the latter two also crashed into Lauda’s stricken car), stopped to help free the Austrian from the blazing wreck. Lauda had suffered serious burns and was rushed by helicopter to the Bundeswehr hospital in Koblenz before being flown to Germany’s most sophisticated burn ward, where he fought for his life for the next few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, just six weeks later, Lauda returned at the Italian Grand Prix. In the meantime, Hunt had gained ground in the Drivers’ Championship, reducing Lauda’s lead to two, thanks to a points finish in Austria and victory in the Netherlands. Hunt was also reinstated as the Spanish Grand Prix winner on McLaren’s appeal, with Ferrari boycotting the Austrian Grand Prix in response to this. Regazzoni had scored a second place behind Hunt in the Netherlands, his six points being the difference between Ferrari and McLaren-Ford in the Constructors’ Championship. Lauda’s reappearance was such a surprise that Ferrari would race three cars at Monza, as Lauda’s now redundant replacement Carlos Reutemann also entered. Lauda would score points in fourth position, with Regazzoni second again, whilst Hunt would fail to finish, spinning into the gravel trap on lap 12. Hunt proved the victor in the next race in Canada, though gained no points overall after eventually being disqualified from the British Grand Prix for illegal assistance by his pit crew; the FIA overturning the original decision and giving the victory to Lauda after an appeal by Ferrari. Lauda failed to score in Canada and yet left Ontario with an extended advantage of eight points. Regazzoni finished sixth gaining the team another point, extending the Scuderia’s advantage in the Constructors’ title to sixteen points. The penultimate race, the United States Grand Prix East, saw Hunt take victory after an intense battle with Tyrrell-Ford’s Jody Scheckter. Lauda struggled, suffering with oversteer on hard tires in the cold, but still claimed the final podium position after starting fifth. Lauda’s points secured the Manufacturer’s Championship for Ferrari with one race to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat concluding race was at the Fuji Speedway in Japan. Lauda had a three-point advantage heading into the final weekend. In qualifying, Hunt took second, missing pole by 0.03 seconds, but Lauda was right behind in third. Race day came, and the rain was torrential, the track full of water as a result, with fog hanging in the air. The organisers decided the race would still run, despite vocal disagreement from a number of drivers. Hunt started well, taking the lead into the first corner. At the end of the second lap came the first twist, Lauda pulling into the pits to withdraw, saying that the conditions were too dangerous. This left his title hopes firmly in the hands of Hunt, who seemed set for an easy win. However, with the track drying, he began losing positions due to the worn tyres on his McLaren. A front left tyre blow-out late in the race looked as if it had handed the advantage back to Lauda, as Hunt limped back to the pits. He returned to the track in fifth, with two laps left but on fresh rubber, requiring fourth place to secure his maiden title. He passed the Surtees of Alan Jones and Regazzoni to finish in third position, taking the title away from Lauda at the very last by just a single point. Undeterred, Lauda would go on to win the 1977 Drivers Championship in the Ferrari 312 T2B, an up-rated version of the 312 T2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the Ferrari 312 T2 earned three wins, six further podiums, three pole positions and five fastest laps in twelve races, helping Ferrari win the International Cup for Formula 1 Manufacturers in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 312 T2 has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Facing the threat of being unable to match the sophisticated new 8-cylinder Formula 1 designs from Mercedes-Benz and Lancia, nor even the 6-cylinder 250Fs from Maserati, Enzo Ferrari instead focused his attention upon perfecting a line of large capacity sportscars. The result would become known by the French racing community as 'Le Monstre' and by the British as 'The Fearsome Four-Nine'. The 375 Plus competed and was victorious at the most prestigious international races, earning Ferrari its first works victory at Le Mans and cementing itself into sportscar legend in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the 375 MM as a starting point, and the 375 Formula 1 car as inspiration, Aurelio Lampredi developed a truly powerful 4.9 litre V12 engine, rated at nearly 350 horsepower. The engine came with a single spark plug per cylinder configuration with twin magnets and was fed by three Weber-46 DCF\/3 carburettors. As a result, the 375 Plus was able to fire up to speeds of around 174mph (280km\/h), an incredible feat for a car produced in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinin Farina and Carrozzeria Vignale fashioned the aluminium body, which featured flush fenders and a pronounced trunk bulge to accommodate the car’s spare tire and long-distance 190 litre (47.6 gallon) fuel tank. The 375 Plus’s new, strengthened chassis was made from steel tubes and, though it retained the same front suspension as its predecessors, the rear suspension came with a new de Dion axle, twin radius arms with transverse leaf springs and Houdaille shock absorbers. The 375 Plus’s new setup offered improved stability, balance and road handling at higher speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 375 Plus took a stunning win in its debut race at Agadir, Morocco, in the hands of Giuseppe ‘Nino’ Farina in February 1954. Though the same driver and car would retire from the following week’s Dakar GP, they set a record fastest lap before doing so. In April, Umberto Maglioli and Nino Cassani ran a single 375 Plus in the Giro di Sicilia and, after just four hours of racing, held a three-and-a-half-minute lead, before the usually reliable Maglioli overturned the car, ending any hopes of victory. Ferrari entered four cars into the Mille Miglia in May, though sadly no car reached the chequered flag. Maglioli came the closest to victory as he chased down the leading Lancia of Alberto Ascari, before a single split pin fell out, causing the gearbox to stop functioning. This disappointment would only fuel Ferrari as, two weeks later, José Froilán González earned a dominant triumph in the Formula 1-supporting sports car race at Silverstone, leading virtually from start to finish and sensationally lapping the last-placed of the 27 starters three times. The 1954 Le Mans 24-Hour race followed. González, now partnered with Maurice Trintignant, emerged victorious in a heavily weather-affected race. It was a thriller duel with the Jaguar D-Type of Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt right to the end, producing the closest finish at Circuit de la Sarthe since 1933: less than 5km (just half a lap). Ultimately, it was Ferrari who would win sports car racing’s most prestigious prize for the second time. The fearsome 'Four-Nines' would not be run again by the Ferrari factory, but a series of entries came from Mexico and the United States for the five-day Carrera Panamericana in Mexico. Maglioli took a dominating victory, 25 minutes ahead of a 375 MM and nearly two hours ahead of a Porsche in third position, ensuring maximum points in the World Sportscar Championship for the Italian marque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust five examples were constructed by Ferrari, chassis numbers 0384, 0386, 0392, 0396 and 0398 all with the AM (America) suffix, making the 375 Plus far less common than the revered Ferrari 250 GTO. In June of 2014, 0384 AM sold at a Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed auction for £10,753,450 (then $18.3 million), though this particular example had a contested ownership history and was eventually sold in a private settlement after a two year legal case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 375 Plus is as raced to victory by Umberto Maglioli in the Carrera Panamericana from the 19th to the 23rd of November 1954. It was the fifth and final running of the legendary Mexican sportscar race, as well as the concluding race of the 1954 World Sportscar Championship. Ferrari had already sealed the Championship title, but victory in Mexico would see them earn maximum points for the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari's American agent Luigi Chinetti arranged indirect sponsorship on the basis of finding private customers to buy 'the works entries'. Enzo Ferrari agreed, providing Umberto Maglioli would drive one of the 375 Plus cars, chassis 0392 AM. Chinetti had arranged to sell the car to American owner\/driver Erwin Goldschmidt, and so Maglioli raced in Goldschmidt’s entry. 0392 was no stranger to the racetrack, having already competed in the Mille Miglia and at Le Mans, though it was yet to see the chequered flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race was a brutal affair that incorporated no fewer than eight stages and 1,910 racing miles (3,070 kilometres) in total, stretching from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. 150 cars started the race but only 85 finished all eight stages. Maglioli completed the race in 17 hours, 40 minutes, and 26 seconds, averaging 107.93mph (173.69km\/h). He ended 24 minutes ahead of his closest competitors, Phil Hill and Richie Ginther in a Ferrari 375 MM, and 111 minutes ahead of the Porsche 550 Spyder of Hans Herrman that took third position. To put this into perspective, the winner of the augural race in 1950 took ten hours longer to finish than Maglioli. Such was the performance of his car, the light aircraft carrying the Press corps covering the Carrera was unable to keep up with Maglioli, who often attained speeds of 180mph and more. This phenomenal performance vividly emphasised just how well Ferrari had perfected the 375 Plus by the end of the 1954 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The race was a heavily rain-affected thriller, viewed by many as a battle between brute force and science: the Ferrari 375 Plus up against the new 3.4-litre Jaguar D-Type with its sleek, aerodynamic bodywork. Jaguar brought D-Types straight from the factory, so fresh that they had yet to be painted when they arrived. The British team kept the majority of their 1953 driver line up: previous winners Tony Rolt \u0026amp; Duncan Hamilton, second placed Stirling Moss and Peter Walker, and Peter Whitehead, this year paired with F1 driver Ken Wharton. Ferrari still fielded a team of top drivers, despite the absence of Ascari, Farina and Hawthorn: Umberto Maglioli, José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant were in the current Ferrari F1 works team; with them were Paolo Marzotto, ex-Gordini driver Robert Manzon and Louis Rosier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the Ferrari and Jaguars were a class above the rest of the field. The Jaguars were showing an advantage in handling, brakes and top speed, but Ferrari had the superior power and acceleration. The race started under dark clouds, and the Ferraris raced into an early lead. After five laps, the first downpour arrived, negating the Ferrari’s power advantage. Within the hour, the gap between the front runners and the rest of the pack was already an entire lap. The Jaguars fought back in the heavy rain however, Moss taking the lead on lap 22. Wharton’s D-Type was held up early on with a blocked fuel filter and, over the next couple of hours, the Jaguars suffered engine misfires, allowing the Ferraris to build their lead once again. The rain eased off as the night arrived, which permitted the Jaguars to haul themselves back into contention, as the lead Ferraris suffered their first casualty: the Maglioli\/Marzotto car retiring with a broken transmission just after 11pm. The rain returned and caused issues for the British team, Wharton\/Whitehead suffered fuel-line issues before withdrawing with transmission problems of their own. The duo joined Moss and Walker’s D-Type in retirement, which had suffered total brake failure at 160mph at the end of the Mulsanne straight. It took two miles of escape road for the car to roll to a stop. Rolt and Hamilton, in the remaining D-Type, moved into second position and set about chasing the leading Ferrari of González and Trintignant. The Rosier\/Manzon Ferrari was still running in third until dawn arrived, when the car’s gearbox jammed in second gear, forcing its retirement. With nine hours remaining, the great rivals only had one car apiece and, as the clouds built up and rain became an ever-present threat, the prospects for the aerodynamic D-Type were starting to look promising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGonzález and Trintignant could afford to take things cautiously, but any delays would empower the chasing Jaguar. Exactly as they feared, the Ferrari hesitated when restarting during a routine fuel stop, encouraging the Jaguar team. The gap reduced to just three minutes, though, in his haste, Rolt glanced the bank coming out of Arnage lapping a slower car, and two minutes were lost in the pits for a bout of improvised panel beating. With ninety minutes to run, Trintignant was maintaining a two-lap lead, and brought the Ferrari in for a routine stop. González took over, but the V12 refused to restart. Ferrari lost seven minutes as the mechanics desperately worked on the engine, before discovering that the rain had saturated the ignition wiring. Rolt was frantically waved on by his pit crew while the Ferrari was stationary, and by the time González was back out on track he was only three minutes ahead. With thunder and lightning now lashing the circuit and visibility at a minimum, Rolt pitted and handed over to Hamilton for the final assault on the Ferrari lead. After some extraordinary times in the awful conditions, the lead was cut to just 90 seconds. González was exhausted as he had not eaten or slept through the weekend, but his pit crew urged him on. As the track dried out, he was once more able to put down the Ferrari’s power and he reached the chequered flag to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans by just under three minutes, which was around half a lap (roughly less than 5km), the closest finish for the race since 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Argentinian winner had cemented his special place in Ferrari history: three years earlier, he had scored Ferrari's first F1 victory and now, in his last appearance at La Sarthe, he also gave the Scuderia their first works victory at Le Mans.

It marks a change of direction in terms of its bodywork specifically; creating a staggering fifty percent increase in speed-generated downforce. Ferrari also claims quicker gear changes and a more sophisticated adaptive suspension. The engine is a very different beast too, being a smaller-than-usual 3.9 litre twin-turbocharged flat plane crank V8, which manages to be both more efficient and more effective with its 661 brake horsepower. It follows the lineage of the Ferrari F154 engine family. The car’s moniker is actually based on its engine performance, producing 488cc per cylinder. The 488 GTB is driven by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission made for Ferrari by Getrag.

To obtain type-approval for the model, 25 units had to be built, and Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of his company to Fiat to finance the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car was built around a tubular light-alloy semi-monocoque frame, derived from the P4 and the 612 CAN AM, with a mid-mounted 4993 cc V12 engine, with four valves per cylinder, capable of delivering 550 hp initially, with a maximum speed of 340 km\/h. The bodywork, designed by engineer Giacomo Caliri, was constructed from fibreglass and designed to be as light as possible. The 512 S was built both with a closed cockpit and in an open top, and a special long-tail aerodynamic body was created for its races at Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 512 S made its debut in the 1970 Daytona race, taking third place with Mario Andretti, Arturo Merzario and Jacky Ickx behind the wheel. The car scored its first win at the following race, the 12 Hours of Sebring, with Ignazio Giunti, Nino Vaccarella and Andretti driving the closed version of the 512 S, defeating the Porsche 908 of Peter Revson and Steve McQueen. Throughout the rest of the season, the duel continued between Ferrari and the Porsche, who raced primarily with their 917K prototype, with Porsche usually emerging the victor. Chris Amon and Merzario finished fifth in the 1000km of Brands Hatch, while in the 1000 km of Monza, 512 S cars claimed second, third and fourth places. Vaccarella and Giunti fought their way onto the third step of the podium in the Targa Florio and claimed fourth at the 1000 km of Spa. Ickx and John Surtees also claimed second position at Spa, before succeeding in another podium at the 1000km Nürburgring. Andretti and Giunti took third place with Ickx and Peter Schetty fifth at the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. Throughout the year, several private teams did score several successes in other competitions, such as Georg Loos and Helmut Kelleners at the 500 km of Zolder in Belgium and Gianpiero Moretti at the 200 Miles of Fuji in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modified version of the 512 S, called the 512 M, made its debut in the wake of Ferrari’s poor showing at Le Mans, where cars could only claim fourth and fifth. This car, with greater power and more advanced aerodynamics than the 512 S gave Ickx\/Giunti a win in the 9 Hours of Kyalami. However, Enzo Ferrari did not have the patience to continue developing this model and relegated the 512 M for use by private teams only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 1971 season, Ferrari switched their attentions back to three litre sports models and would soon dedicate itself to Formula 1 racing for the next two decades. Both the 512 S and the 512 M continued to achieve good results in the hands of the privateers, with the NART team’s 512 S and the Penske team’s blue 512 M finishing in second and third place in Daytona. Merzario won the 300 km of Imola in the only official works appearance of the 512 M in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 512 Spider as raced in the 12 Hours of Sebring by Mario Andretti and Arturo Merzario at Sebring International Raceway on the 21st of March 1970. Considered by many to be the most memorable 12 Hours of Sebring ever held, this 12th edition of 1970 proved to be drama-filled to the last. Porsche had emerged victorious at Daytona just seven weeks prior, but Andretti qualified the #19 car on pole position, giving Ferrari a small but early advantage. Two other works Ferraris entered, #21 of Ignazio Giunti and Nino Vaccarella and the #20 of Jacky Ickx and Peter Schetty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a rolling start, a first for Sebring, Andretti held onto the position until the first round of pits stops and drive changes. Porsche’s four 917K entries started to experience problems, one with electrical issues, another with a puncture. Another entry retired with irreparable suspension damage, leaving all three works Ferraris with the lead as the sun set. Fortunes changed switched during the night, the #20 Ferrari suffered from a blown head gasket, retiring after 151 laps, and problems were plaguing the #21 car which necessitated a long pit stop. Then, Andretti brought the leading #19 car into the pits with gearbox issues. Though Merzario returned the car to the track in the lead, the #15 Porsche 917K of Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert was gaining rapidly. The strain on the mechanics started to show, and the #19 quickly returning to the pits again, this time not to return. Porsche was on course for another 1-2 victory, with the 917K leading the way and the Solar Productions\/Gulf sponsored #48 Porsche 908\/02 of movie star and racer Steve McQueen, who was racing with his leg in a cast, and Peter Revson in second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith half an hour remaining, one car still running and desperate for an overall victory, Ferrari team manager gambled, calling in Giunti in the #21 car and replacing him with the faster and more experienced Andretti. Starting a lap down, Andretti was fantastic, unlapping himself quickly and piling the pressure on the Porsches ahead. Suddenly, the leading Porsche came into the pits with a front hub failure, ultimately retiring just four laps from the end of the race, promoting McQueen and Revson’s 908 into first position. Andretti promptly overtook Revson, but returned to the pits once more, this time for a fuel stop, giving the lead back to the Porsche. With just one lap to go, Andretti stormed back onto the track and chased down his rival, finishing the 248\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and final lap just 22 seconds ahead after twelve hours of competitive racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 512 S is limited to just 199 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default

The phenomenal Ferrari F2004 emerged victorious from fifteen of the eighteen races, making it one the most dominant machines to have ever competed in the sport. The F2004 was to be the culmination of the remarkable Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and Michael Schumacher ‘golden era’, after a hugely successful period where Ferrari earned six successive Constructors’ titles and five uninterrupted Drivers’ Championships in six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F2004’s total of fifteen victories has since been bettered only by the hybrid-era domination of Mercedes, racing in longer seasons. Thirteen of those victories were in the hands of German Michael Schumacher, the other two with Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. The duo, in their fourth straight season as teammates, also achieved a further fourteen second or third placed finishes (two for Schumacher, twelve for Barrichello), with at least one of the drivers making an appearance on the podium at every single race. Its extraordinary reliability was second to none; the team only recorded two retirements, and both were due to collisions rather than mechanical mishaps. The F2004 earned twelve pole positions and fourteen fastest laps, simply blowing the competition away. In fact, it was Ferrari's domination which led to rule changes for 2005, which did help to end the Italian’s successful run, but the modified F2004M chassis was still good enough to finish on the podium in the Australian GP season opener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2004 season saw the pinnacle of Ferrari’s ‘Golden Era’ with several records set: Ferrari clinched a sixth consecutive Constructors’ Championship, their fourteenth title overall, whilst Schumacher won his fifth consecutive Drivers’ Championship, his record-extending seventh overall. Schumacher extended his record for most wins in a season with thirteen, and set a new one for 10 fastest laps in a single season (many of which stood for nearly fifteen years), whilst his seven consecutive wins equalled Alberto Ascari’s streak for Ferrari in 1952 and 1953. Schumacher’s pole position at Suzuka was his eighth at the Japanese Grand Prix, equalling Ayrton Senna’s record for most pole positions at the same Grand Prix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari F2004 is precisely as raced to victory by Michael Schumacher in the Gran Premio Foster’s di San Marino 2004 at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari on the 25th of April 2004. The fourth round of the 2004 season came on the heels of three straight pole positions and victories for Michael Schumacher. Qualifying at Imola saw a surprise however, as BAR-Honda’s Jenson Button took top spot ahead of the German. At the race start, both made clean starts with Schumacher slotting in behind for most of the first lap, until Williams-BMW’s Juan Pablo Montoya attempted to pass around the outside of the Tosa corner. Schumacher squeezed Montoya onto the grass, forcing the pair to touch wheels as they exited the corner. That fighting allowed Button to build a small lead on the opening lap, although that gap would quickly close. When he dived into the pits for his first stop on lap nine, Schumacher was freed and, two lap records and a pit stop later, the race was effectively over, the German establishing a demoralising lead well ahead of Button. Indeed, the entire fight for the victory was over from that moment, Schumacher cruising to the finish line to continue his perfect start to the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Scuderia Ferrari and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that the images do not contain tobacco sponsor graphics due to licensing restrictions agreed with the manufacturer.

The company’s first supercar, although heavily influenced by the racing design of the 288 GTO, was never intended for a life on the racetrack. That is not to say, however, that it was lacking in purpose. As the celebrated magazine Road \u0026amp; Track wrote, ‘The F40 may be one of the most single-minded road cars ever constructed’. Notable features of the F40 are its twin-turbo charged V8 engine producing some 500bhp, carbon-Kevlar bodywork, competition-inspired double wishbones and a Lexan-clothed windscreen instead of glass. As the first car to break the 200 miles per hour barrier, several influential individuals lobbied Ferrari to allow racing specialist, Micholetto, to produce an authorised number of racing F40 examples that conformed with IMSA rules. The result was the F40 LM (Le Mans) and around ten were built in total. It was felt that the Le Mans tag was too restrictive, hence the use of the more general Competizione. The ultimate F40, the Competizione benefitted from a reinforced chassis, an uprated engine producing some 720bhp, more aggressive bodywork, updated brakes and suspension, a racing gearbox and wider wheels, amongst a plethora of other gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the F40 Competizione has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The Aperta represented the finest expression of Ferrari’s technical capabilities in both GT and Formula 1 engineering, pushing the boundaries of road car technology. Such was the demand for the first convertible Ferrari hybrid, that all 200 cars were sold, via invitation only, before the car was even launched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-derived hybrid system, known as the HY-KERS system, seamlessly blended extreme performance with maximum efficiency and was more evolved and complex than the KERS system utilised by the Scuderia’s Formula 1 cars. The 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V12 combustion engine, already the most powerful incarnation yet of Ferrari’s classic V12, was twinned with a 150hp electric motor to produce a staggering power output of 960 CV. This electric motor provided unending power throughout the rev range and a maximum torque peak of over 900 Nm. The combined powertrain was designed to consistently yield maximum output whilst the car is on the move, meaning there was no separate electric mode to be engaged; instead, the combustion and electric units constantly worked in perfect tandem, with energy harvested via a variety of systems, including the brakes and traction control, and stored in a 132 lb. battery pack. This hybrid system fired the Aperta to 124 mph (200 km\/h) in less than seven seconds, on to a top speed of 217 mph (349 km\/h), making it the fastest road-going spider in the marque’s history. The F1 seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox was coupled with the electric motor and an auxiliary electric motor replaced the traditional alternator, saving weight and reducing the size of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Ferrari’s most passionate clientele, the Aperta’s futuristic and extreme styling retains the essential characteristics of the coupé, seamlessly marrying form and function whilst still retaining clear cues great to Ferraris of the past. The lack of a roof provided a new challenge for the engineers at Maranello, with the goal to achieve the same torsional rigidity and drag coefficient figures as the coupe. Targeted modifications strengthened the chassis, whilst innovative integrated airflow solutions ensured no increase in drag, placing the Aperta at the top of the supercar category in terms of dynamic performance. The LaFerrari’s architecture represented the pinnacle of innovation even by Ferrari’s legendary standards. Maranello’s engineers delivered increased aerodynamic efficiency, an ideal weight distribution, a lowered centre of gravity, all in a sleek body made of four different types of carbon fibre. The sweeping bodywork, designed entirely in-house by Ferrari’s chief designer Flavio Manzoni, incorporated the aero technology and many styling elements clearly inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 program, such as the front splitter, and GT competition cars, like the rear spoiler and fog lamp. The rear wing and underbody were key components of the active aerodynamics package, deploying and retracting in response to vehicle speed, braking, throttle position, and steering angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly from Ferrari’s design office allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

Honda was a proven engine supplier in the sport, having supplied Lucky Strike BAR Honda for the previous five years, and wished to increase its visibility and input by owning and running a team. Yasuhiro Wada, president of Honda Racing Development, said ‘the 2006 F1 season means a great deal to all of us at Honda as it marks the beginning of a new adventure and confirms an even greater commitment to F1’. 2006 marked a change in the Formula One engine regulations, with the three litre V10 units being replaced with 2.4 V8s; a very different direction in engine design. Honda already held some experience with V8 engines, building these for the Indy Racing League (IRL). Designed by Geoff Willis, the RA106 was slow to make its impact on track until the latter half of the season when performances become more consistent.

For reasons unknown, just 12 of the 18 planned examples were built at that time and the remaining six allocated chassis numbers were left unused. In 2014, Jaguar Heritage, part of the Jaguar Land Rover’s newly formed Special Operations division, decided to build the remaining six cars to the original 1964 specification, to be sold as period competition vehicles suitable for historic motorsport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body shell, like the first 12 examples built in the sixties, saves a significant 114kg from the production steel bodied E-type as Jaguar engineers have decided to eschew modern construction methods in favour of the original techniques. The engine, built from scratch using the original plans, is the same 3.8 litre straight-six unit with aluminium block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInner and outer surfaces of the car were digitally scanned, with most body panels then being reproduced at Jaguar’s Whitley engineering centre. With the bodywork complete, the cars will be mated to the engine’s subframe before being transferred to the company’s Browns Lane site to be completed. Inside, aluminium bucket seats feature in a functional-looking cabin, which has a wood-trimmed steering wheel and push-button starter. Jaguar design boss Ian Callum said: “With the Lightweight E-type, our focus as a design team has been to ensure justice was done to the original work of Sir William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer. I believe the result is a new Lightweight E-type that is as stunning now as the originals would have been when they were new.” Each of the six re-makes were expected to sell in excess of £1 million. The prototype car for the ‘new’ six examples was named ‘Car Zero’ and was tested extensively at Jaguar Land Rover’s Gaydon test track in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1:8 perfect scale Amalgam model is of the prototype car “Car Zero” as unveiled at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2014.

Victorious in three of the four years it competed, the D-type inspired the legendary E-type road car and eventually became the road-going XKSS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced between 1954 and 1956, the D-type shared the same basic straight 6 XK engine and many mechanic components as its elder sister, the C-type, but was structurally entirely different. The aviation industry inspired monocoque construction and aerodynamic efficiency was a marked departure from the C-type’s space frame chassis and softer body design and was considered revolutionary at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its debut season in 1954, the D-type, driven by Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt fell short of winning Le Mans to Ferrari by just a single lap. The following year, Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb took the chequered flag, giving the D-type its maiden Le Mans title. The event, however, was marred by the deadliest accident in the history of motorsport that not only prompted their closest competitors Mercedes-Benz to retire from the race, but caused them to leave motorsport altogether for at least two decades. In 1956 Jaguar claimed another victory, as the small Edinburgh-based Ecurie Ecosse team saw their D-type, driven by Ninian Sanderson and Ron Flockhart, pip the pursuing Aston Martin, piloted by Stirling Moss and Peter Collins, to the chequered flag by a single lap. Jaguar pulled out of motorsport as a works team at the end of the season, but privateer teams still represented the D-type and Ecurie Ecosse won again in 1957, sealing a D-type hattrick, raced by previous winners Flockhart and Bueb. They were convincingly victorious, finishing eight laps ahead of their sister car driven by Sanderson and John ‘Jock’ Lawrence. D-types dominated the leaderboard that year, suffering no retirements and taking five of the top six places, cementing its place in Le Mans history as one of the most successful cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the 1957 Le Mans winning D-type, as raced to victory by British duo Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb.

Made for just 499 highly discerning clients, the LaFerrari follows in the illustrious footsteps of its limited-edition predecessors – the 288 GTO, the F40, the F50 and the Enzo – and is strongly reminiscent of great Ferraris of the past, including the 330 P4 and 312P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-derived hybrid system, known as the HY-KERS system, seamlessly blended extreme performance with maximum efficiency and was more evolved and complex than the KERS system utilised by the Scuderia’s Formula 1 cars. The 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V12 combustion engine, already the most powerful incarnation yet of Ferrari’s classic V12, was twinned with a 150hp electric motor to produce a staggering power output of 960 CV. This electric motor provided unending power throughout the rev range and a maximum torque peak of over 900 Nm. The combined powertrain was designed to consistently yield maximum output whilst the car is on the move, meaning there was no separate electric mode to be engaged; instead, the combustion and electric units constantly worked in perfect tandem, with energy harvested via a variety of systems, including the brakes and traction control, and stored in a 132 lb. battery pack. This hybrid system fired the LaFerrari to 124 mph (200 km\/h) in less than seven seconds, on to a top speed of 217 mph (349 km\/h), making it the fastest road-going Ferrari in the marque’s history. The F1 seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox was coupled with the electric motor and an auxiliary electric motor replaced the traditional alternator, saving weight and reducing the size of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LaFerrari’s architecture represented the pinnacle of innovation even by Ferrari’s legendary standards. Maranello’s engineers delivered increased aerodynamic efficiency, an ideal weight distribution, a lowered centre of gravity, all in a sleek body made of four different types of carbon fibre. The sweeping bodywork, designed entirely in-house by Ferrari’s chief designer Flavio Manzoni, incorporated the aero technology and many styling elements clearly inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 program, such as the front splitter, and GT competition cars, like the rear spoiler and fog lamp. The rear wing and underbody were key components of the active aerodynamics package, deploying and retracting in response to vehicle speed, braking, throttle position, and steering angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari LaFerrari has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly from Ferrari’s design office allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

When it was launched it was met with surprise and wonder by onlookers, resembling no other car in the history of motoring. Its iconic lines are due, in part, to the placement of the engine, which was mounted transversely behind the passenger cabin. Its V12, 3,929cc engine with Weber twin-choke carburettors, was capable of 385 brake horsepower, driven by five speed manual transmission and the car featured independent front and rear suspensions. Perhaps the most incredible thing about the Lamborghini Miura – and there are a lot of incredible things about the Miura – is that it was never supposed to happen. The car, named after Spain’s fiercest and most feared breed of fighting bull, started as the after-hours project of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s young technical director and his deputy, Giampaolo Dallara and Giampaolo Stanzini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLamborghini had already transitioned from a successful tractor maker to sports car maker, renowned for his brilliant mechanical mind and his obsession with excellence. This was a man who once told Enzo Ferrari that his 250 GTO— yes that one—wasn’t good enough. Enzo told him to pound sand and stick to tractors. Instead, Lamborghini built the 350 GTV, a front-engine, rear-wheel drive two-seater that quickly rose to prominence in Italy, to the displeasure of Enzo Ferrari. The GTV’s success got Dallara and Stanzini to dreaming, taking inspiration from racing icons like the Ford GT and the Ferrari 250 Le Mans to imagine their own mid-engine machine. Trouble was, The Boss was interested in perfecting GT cars, not in racing misadventures. They didn’t dare advanced beyond drawings and plans. Finally, one night in early 1965, they worked up the courage to show their boss their brainchild. To their surprise, Ferruccio was impressed, and gave their pipe dream the green light. The resulting prototype chassis was called the P400 and featured a transversely mounted 4-liter V12 engine. The engine, gearbox, and differential were all built as one unit, using the same lubrication for all three major parts. This design was ludicrously complex but was the only way to make the packaging work and maintain a low profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P400 was unveiled as a bare chassis at the 1963 Turin Motor Show. The next step was bodywork. Ferruccio commissioned legendary coachbuilder Nuccio Bertone and his young mastermind, twenty-five-year-old Marcello Gandini, to make the P400 look beautiful. Gandini worked feverishly throughout the 1965\/1966 winter to get the lines just right. Timing was tight; the first Miura was finished and loaded onto a hauler destined for Geneva just one day before the show. The car was, almost overnight, the must-have item in any well-to-do’s garage. Originally slated as a limited-run car, the sheer number of orders flooding into Sant’ Agata compelled Lamborghini to build 108 Miuras in the first year alone. In total, just 474 original Miuras were built (some say the total was 475). The Miura S, unveiled in 1968, featured more power, (370hp up from 350) upgraded brakes, and a slightly higher top speed of 280kph (174mph). A total of only 140 were sold between its unveiling 1968 and 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final production Miura, known as the Miura SV, was introduced in 1971. The SV’s most notable change was that the engine and gearbox were now separate. Suspension changes fixed notorious oversteering problems, and power increased to 385hp @ 7850rpm. It debuted alongside the Countach concept, which would become the Miura’s successor just a year later. Though the Miura was not Lamborghini’s first car, it was the first in what would become the Lamborghini mold—big, loud engines mounted behind the driver powering breathtakingly-styled coupes. Ferruccio may have said it best: “The Miura was like a magnificent mistress to me. Uncomfortable, very expensive, but unforgettable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese perfect 1:8 scale models of the Lamborghini Miura P400 SV, available in a Giallo, Arancia Miura or Verde Miura exterior paint scheme, have been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Lamborghini regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

A reinvention of the previous Lotus 29 and 34 Indianapolis designs, the 38 was built with a full monocoque tub chassis. It was powered by the same four-cam Ford V8 fuel injected engine that was used in the 34, providing around 500bhp. Though the 38 was significantly larger than Formula One cars of the era, it was still dwarfed by the massive American roadsters. The 38 was also specially designed with an offset suspension, which in theory, was better suited to the oval track of the Indy 500. This style of suspension would never catch on though, as it made the car’s handling quite peculiar. In total, eight Lotus 38s were built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lotus 38 became the spearhead of the “British Invasion” of American racing as it became the first mid-engine car to win the Indy 500. Driven by Scotsman Jim Clark, the No. 82 car qualified second with a four-lap average speed of 160.729mph, just behind Anthony Joseph Foyt in a modified Lotus 34. Clark started the race quickly, taking the early initiative, and, although Foyt passed him on the second lap, Clark regained the lead one lap later. It took until lap 65 before the lead would change hands again as Clark pitted, before he re-claimed the top spot on lap 74 when Foyt pitted himself. After this, Clark never lost the lead, meaning he had led 190 of the 200 laps, the most since Bill Vukovich fifteen years prior. Clark became the first non-American winner of the Indy 500 since 1916 and would go on to win the 1965 Formula One World Championship, despite skipping the Monaco Grand Prix to compete at The Brickyard.
