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.

In fact, the #19 car finished second on the overall podium, only five laps behind the outright winners, Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill in a Ferrari 330 TRI\/LM. Noblet and Guichet’s victory sealed class victory for the Scuderia in the 1962 International Championship of Manufacturers for Ferrari after five continuous victories for the marque in just five races.

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.

After the 1967 race season, it was announced that all future prototype engines would be limited to 3.0 litres, in order to reduce the speeds generated at the fast endurance tracks, whilst also enticing manufacturers who were already building three-litre Formula One engines into endurance racing. Well aware that few manufacturers were up to the challenge immediately, the CSI also announced a new Group 4 sports car series, which allowed engine displacements of up to 5.0 litres, but required at least 25 units be produced for homologation. Porsche, already hard at work polishing its 3.0-litre race car, the 908, stunned the world when it unveiled a second prototype race car aimed at the Group 4 category: the 917. Despite the FIA’s doubts, Porsche presented the FIA with 25 units just three weeks after the 917’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering the early 917 was a 4.5-litre Flat-12 engine, designed by the noted Porsche engineer Hanz Mezger. To curtail development costs, the engine borrowed heavily from its 3.0-litre counterpart found in the Porsche 908. The 1969 race engines produced 580 bhp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Later models had the option to run larger-displacement engines of 4.9, 5.0 and eventually 5.4 litres, each providing a corresponding bump in performance. The Flat-12 would go on to become the 917’s most defining trait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the engine was an immediate success, the car’s body and aerodynamics were anything but. Early tests were worrisome. The car wandered heavily under braking and was diabolical in high-speed turns. None of the regular Porsche drivers wanted to race it. But the engineers at Porsche soldiered on, eventually adding wider rear wheels and a few other changes that made the 917 into a more controllable machine. Short and long-tail versions of the car were developed, but while the 917 long-tail is a thing of beauty, the shape made famous by a flurry of victories is the short version, better known as the 917K, for “Kurtz.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 917K did not have to wait long for success. On its public debut at the 1970 Daytona 24 Hours, John Wyer's Gulf-sponsored team finished 1-2 in the race, with the winning car breaking the distance record by 190 miles. This victory effectively began the 917K's domination of the World Sportscar Championship for the next two seasons. Porsche’s first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans soon followed, a momentous occasion for the German marque, but only one of many more to follow. Triumphs that year came quickly and resoundingly and, in total, the 917K’s first full year of competition would bring seven major victories. 1971 was no different, with six major victories topped by another overall win at Le Mans. Later that year, development of the Can-Am version would start, a car so dominant that the series lost popularity in the United States, never to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the 917K is revered as one of the most iconic race cars of all time. It was the car that brought Porsche its first overall victory at the world’s most gruelling race, and the car that would go on to set one of the most impressive records of dominance in prototype racing series the world has ever seen. If its racing achievements alone were not enough, the car would go on to be immortalized on the big screen by Steve McQueen in the film ‘Le Mans’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Porsche 917 KH is based on the #22 car driven to victory by Dutch driver Gijs van Lennep and Austrian racer Helmut Marko at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1971. With the ban for over 3.0 litre engine displacements imminent, the race turned into quite the swansong; a long, fast track and extended good weather produced the fastest race in the event's history to date. There were not many accidents this year, but many cars were delayed or forced to retire due to mechanical problems so only twelve cars were classified as finishers. The Team Martini Porsche at the front of these finished two laps ahead of its rival John Wyer Porsche and an incredible 29 laps (386km) ahead of the third place Ferrari. The two Porsches were the first cars to cover over 5000km at Le Mans, a record that would stand for 39 years, cementing the 917K’s dominance over this era of motorsport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Porsche regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

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 the 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 that 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 victories 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\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3943GT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in late 1962, Ferrari 250GTO 3943GT was purchased by French steel industrialist and renowned racer Pierre Noblet. Finished in red with a French tricolore stripe, 3943GT contested with some success, at times partnered by close friend and future Le Mans winner Jean Guichet. 3943GT’s race debut occurred at the Paris 1000km towards the end of the year, where Noblet and Guichet took fourth position. The duo wouldn’t race 3943GT for another six months but would score a strong victory at the Dakar 6 Hours, finishing eight laps ahead of their closest rivals. A close battle at the 1963 Spa-Francorchamps 500km, in which the top four all finished within a lap of each other, saw Noblet take second spot racing solo. One week later, in the car’s first appearance at the Nürburgring 1000km, Noblet and Guichet drove the 250GTO to second overall, finishing on the same lap as the winning Ferrari 250 P and defeating their own class rivals by three laps. Noblet would continue to race 3943GT in 1964 with less success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3943GT was sold on to fellow Frenchman and semi-professional rally driver Robert Neyret, who continued to race the Ferrari to more success. Neyret emerged best in class in the 1966 Paris 1000km, co-driven by compatriot Jacques Terramorsi, the 1967 Mont Ventoux Hill Climb and the 1967 Rallye Pétrole-Provence, with Jean-Claude Syda alongside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car remained in French ownership after Neyret, until was acquired by American Tom Price in 1983. During the following years, Price regularly raced and exhibited the 250GTO until he sold it to the current owner Charles E. Nearburg for $26million in 2010. Nearburg had 3943GT completely restored and it has since been shown at events on both sides of the Atlantic, winning multiple awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis perfect 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250GTO 3943GT Chassis is modelled on the #46 car as raced at the 1963 Nürburgring 1000km with Noblet and Guichet at the wheel.

Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and — for those lucky enough to have experienced this — peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO’s illustrious reputation has made it the world’s most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples.

Built by Ferrari’s in-house Competizioni GT unit, the car debuted at the 2016 24 Hours of Daytona with the with the Scuderia Corsa, Risi Competizione and SMP Racing teams. It was an impressive debut, and the Scuderia Corsa entrant finished only a lap behind the class winning Corvette. The GTE has had strong success since, winning the 2016 and 2017 World Endurance Cup for GT Manufacturers and the 2017 Endurance Trophy for LMGTE Pro Teams in the World Endurance Championship, as well as the 2017 LMGTE Teams Championship in the European Le Mans Series. The GTE is powered by the 488’s twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8, producing around 600hp, less than the road car thanks to power restrictions in its race category. However, a 230kg weight saving ensured any straight-line speed lost would be minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 488 GTE Evo (2018) and 488 GTE Evo 2020 both represent evolutions of the model, developed as a result of Ferrari’s attempts to further refine certain aspects of one of its most successful cars. Unveiled at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali at Mugello, the engineering team behind the GT3 Evo used innovative concepts derived from Ferrari’s track experience and feedback from the teams competing with the 488 GTE. Ferrari’s engineers honed the 488 GTE Evo’s aerodynamics, spending over 18,000 hours on calculations and CFD simulations, followed by wind tunnel testing.  The 488 GTE’s vehicle dynamics were key in its success and had been further improved in the 488 GTE Evo. The wheelbase is longer, matching the 488 GTE, to optimise tyre use, reduce tyre wear and facilitate the conversion from GT3 to GTE. The engineers also focused on reducing the car’s weight with the result that more ballast could be used to attain the minimum weight imposed by the Balance of Performance, thus lowering the centre of gravity. In addition, all the vehicle dynamic controls, including the traction control and ABS, were optimised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 488 GTE Evo differed from its sister car the GT3 because of the additional 24H\/Endurance package. Specifically designed for clients interested in endurance racing, the basic equipment included a front bumper with additional headlights, quick-fill couplings for engine oil and coolant, carbon-fibre clutch, brake callipers adopted from the GTE and steel wheel nuts. Optional features for the car included sensors for the coolant level and refuelling completion with warning lights, and Le Mans-type, 4,500 lumen LED main headlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models of the Ferrari 488 GTE, as well as its 2018 and 2020 Evo variants, have all been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Scuderia Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate CAD data of the car, provided to us by the team, has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

After the 1967 race season, it was announced that all future prototype engines would be limited to 3.0 litres, in order to reduce the speeds generated at the fast endurance tracks, whilst also enticing manufacturers who were already building three-litre Formula One engines into endurance racing. Well aware that few manufacturers were up to the challenge immediately, the CSI also announced a new Group 4 sports car series, which allowed engine displacements of up to 5.0 litres, but required at least 25 units be produced for homologation. Porsche, already hard at work polishing its 3.0-litre race car, the 908, stunned the world when it unveiled a second prototype race car aimed at the Group 4 category: the 917. Despite the FIA’s doubts, Porsche presented the FIA with 25 units just three weeks after the 917’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePowering the early 917 was a 4.5-litre Flat-12 engine, designed by the noted Porsche engineer Hanz Mezger. To curtail development costs, the engine borrowed heavily from its 3.0-litre counterpart found in the Porsche 908. The 1969 race engines produced 580 bhp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Later models had the option to run larger-displacement engines of 4.9, 5.0 and eventually 5.4 litres, each providing a corresponding bump in performance. The Flat-12 would go on to become the 917’s most defining trait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the engine was an immediate success, the car’s body and aerodynamics were anything but. Early tests were worrisome. The car wandered heavily under braking and was diabolical in high-speed turns. None of the regular Porsche drivers wanted to race it. But the engineers at Porsche soldiered on, eventually adding wider rear wheels and a few other changes that made the 917 into a more controllable machine. Short and long-tail versions of the car were developed, but while the 917 long-tail is a thing of beauty, the shape made famous by a flurry of victories is the short version, better known as the 917K, for “Kurtz.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 917K did not have to wait long for success. On its public debut at the 1970 Daytona 24 Hours, John Wyer's Gulf-sponsored team finished 1-2 in the race, with the winning car breaking the distance record by 190 miles. This victory effectively began the 917K's domination of the World Sportscar Championship for the next two seasons. Porsche’s first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans soon followed, a momentous occasion for the German marque, but only one of many more to follow. Triumphs that year came quickly and resoundingly and, in total, the 917K’s first full year of competition would bring seven major victories. 1971 was no different, with six major victories topped by another overall win at Le Mans. Later that year, development of the Can-Am version would start, a car so dominant that the series lost popularity in the United States, never to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the 917K is revered as one of the most iconic race cars of all time. It was the car that brought Porsche its first overall victory at the world’s most gruelling race, and the car that would go on to set one of the most impressive records of dominance in prototype racing series the world has ever seen. If its racing achievements alone were not enough, the car would go on to be immortalized on the big screen by Steve McQueen in the film ‘Le Mans’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Porsche 917 KH is based on the #22 car driven to victory by Dutch driver Gijs van Lennep and Austrian racer Helmut Marko at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1971. With the ban for over 3.0 litre engine displacements imminent, the race turned into quite the swansong; a long, fast track and extended good weather produced the fastest race in the event's history to date. There were not many accidents this year, but many cars were delayed or forced to retire due to mechanical problems so only twelve cars were classified as finishers. The Team Martini Porsche at the front of these finished two laps ahead of its rival John Wyer Porsche and an incredible 29 laps (386km) ahead of the third place Ferrari. The two Porsches were the first cars to cover over 5000km at Le Mans, a record that would stand for 39 years, cementing the 917K’s dominance over this era of motorsport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Porsche regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

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 the 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 that 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 victories 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 1:18 scale model is of chassis 3705GT exactly as raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 23\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e and 24\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of June 1962 by Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet. The duo won the GT class comfortably, a huge twelve laps ahead of their closest rival, another 250 GTO run by Equipe Nationale Belge, and sixteen laps ahead of the nearest rival manufacturer. In fact, the #19 car finished second on the overall podium, only five laps behind the outright winners, Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill in a Ferrari 330 TRI\/LM. Noblet and Guichet’s victory sealed class victory for the Scuderia in the 1962 International Championship of Manufacturers after five consecutive victories for the marque in just five races. Despite having four races remaining, Ferrari could no longer be outscored. Ferrari continued this winning streak throughout every subsequent round, winning the championship with a maximum score of 45 points. Their closest rivals were Jaguar, who scored just 16 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari 250 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.

After the 1967 race season, it was announced that all future prototype engines would be limited to 3.0 litres, in order to reduce the speeds generated at the fast endurance tracks, whilst also enticing manufacturers who were already building three-litre Formula One engines into endurance racing. Well aware that few manufacturers were up to the challenge immediately, the CSI also announced a new Group 4 sports car series, which allowed engine displacements of up to 5.0 litres, but required at least 25 units be produced for homologation. Porsche, already hard at work polishing its 3.0-litre race car, the 908, stunned the world when it unveiled a second prototype race car aimed at the Group 4 category: the 917. Despite the FIA’s doubts, Porsche presented the FIA with 25 units just three weeks after the 917’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering the early 917 was a 4.5-litre Flat-12 engine, designed by the noted Porsche engineer Hanz Mezger. To curtail development costs, the engine borrowed heavily from its 3.0-litre counterpart found in the Porsche 908. The 1969 race engines produced 580 bhp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Later models had the option to run larger-displacement engines of 4.9, 5.0 and eventually 5.4 litres, each providing a corresponding bump in performance. The Flat-12 would go on to become the 917’s most defining trait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the engine was an immediate success, the car’s body and aerodynamics were anything but. Early tests were worrisome. The car wandered heavily under braking and was diabolical in high-speed turns. None of the regular Porsche drivers wanted to race it. But the engineers at Porsche soldiered on, eventually adding wider rear wheels and a few other changes that made the 917 into a more controllable machine. Short and long-tail versions of the car were developed, but while the 917 long-tail is a thing of beauty, the shape made famous by a flurry of victories is the short version, better known as the 917K, for “Kurtz.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 917K did not have to wait long for success. On its public debut at the 1970 Daytona 24 Hours, John Wyer's Gulf-sponsored team finished 1-2 in the race, with the winning car breaking the distance record by 190 miles. This victory effectively began the 917K's domination of the World Sportscar Championship for the next two seasons. Porsche’s first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans soon followed, a momentous occasion for the German marque, but only one of many more to follow. Triumphs that year came quickly and resoundingly and, in total, the 917K’s first full year of competition would bring seven major victories. 1971 was no different, with six major victories topped by another overall win at Le Mans. Later that year, development of the Can-Am version would start, a car so dominant that the series lost popularity in the United States, never to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the 917K is revered as one of the most iconic race cars of all time. It was the car that brought Porsche its first overall victory at the world’s most gruelling race, and the car that would go on to set one of the most impressive records of dominance in prototype racing series the world has ever seen. If its racing achievements alone were not enough, the car would go on to be immortalized on the big screen by Steve McQueen in the film ‘Le Mans’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Porsche 917K is based on the #22 car driven to victory by Dutch driver Gijs van Lennep and Austrian racer Helmut Marko at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1971. With the ban for over 3.0 litre engine displacements imminent, the race turned into quite the swansong; a long, fast track and extended good weather produced the fastest race in the event's history to date. There were not many accidents this year, but many cars were delayed or forced to retire due to mechanical problems so only twelve cars were classified as finishers. The Team Martini Porsche at the front of these finished two laps ahead of its rival John Wyer Porsche and an incredible 29 laps (386km) ahead of the third place Ferrari. The two Porsches were the first cars to cover over 5000km at Le Mans, a record that would stand for 39 years, cementing the 917K’s dominance over this era of motorsport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Porsche regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The form of the 250 GTO represents more than any other the quintessence of the Ferrari brand in the collective imagination. The longer you look and the deeper you go into every detail, the more perfect is the outcome of the creative work by Bizzarini, Forghieri and probably most importantly regarding the body, the finalisation of the design by Scaglietti.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have created several perfectly detailed models of the car at 1:8, but to fully honour the beauty of the body form we have now created a hand hammered aluminium replica of the 250 GTO body at a quarter the size of the original.

Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese models of the Ferrari 499P are perfect 1:8 scale recreations of the #51 and #50 Hypercars raced to first and fifth positions by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi and Miguel Molina, Antonio Fuoco and Nicklas Nielsen in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023. Ferrari's victory marked a return to the elite class of WEC after 50 years and also coincided with the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Prior to the race, Ferrari had shown serious pace, having qualified no lower than fourth in the three races so far. However, they had so far been unable to convert that into a victory, as reigning WEC Champions Toyota continued to show their own strength. During the initial one-hour qualifying session, the Ferrari #50 of Antonio Fuoco set the pace, with Pier Guidi’s sister #51 Ferrari in second. The team installed fresh tyres for Hyperpole, expecting a reaction from their rivals. Instead, the Ferraris were even stronger, with Fuoco breaking the Hypercar class record with a lap of 3:22.982 with eight minutes left, despite a LMGTE Am Kessel Ferrari slowing him into the left-hand Indianapolis corner and Arnage turn. Pier Guidi qualified the #51 in second and held pole until Fuoco’s lap. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973, and the 1-2 put them in prime position for the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals.

Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model of the Ferrari 499P is a perfect 1:18 scale recreation of the #51 Hypercar raced to victory by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023. Ferrari's victory marked a return to the elite class of WEC after 50 years and also coincided with the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Prior to the race, Ferrari had shown serious pace, having qualified no lower than fourth in the three races so far. However, they had so far been unable to convert that into a victory, as reigning WEC Champions Toyota continued to show their own strength. During the initial one-hour qualifying session, the Ferrari #50 of Antonio Fuoco set the pace, with Pier Guidi’s sister #51 Ferrari in second. The team installed fresh tyres for Hyperpole, expecting a reaction from their rivals. Instead, the Ferraris were even stronger, with Fuoco breaking the Hypercar class record with a lap of 3:22.982 with eight minutes left, despite a LMGTE Am Kessel Ferrari slowing him into the left-hand Indianapolis corner and Arnage turn. Pier Guidi qualified the #51 in second and held pole until Fuoco’s lap. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973, and the 1-2 put them in prime position for the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had effectively turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals. Per tradition, the church bells rang in Maranello, the historic home of Ferrari’s headquarters, to signal the #51 499P Hypercar’s victory at Le Mans. This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a part of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" title=\"Discover the 24 Hours of Le Mans Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/24-hours-of-le-mans\"\u003eDiscover the Collection \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40453455446098,"sku":"M6274-SC1","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/DSCF4949.jpg?v=1715071322"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2023-le-mans-race-weathered","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2023 Le Mans Winner - Race Weathered","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 51 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the #51 Hypercar as raced by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, measuring over 62 cms\/ 24 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel accompanied by an A1 archive quality Giclée print of the car cruising down the pit lane after its victory on track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering details precisely applied by artisans in Bristol using archival imagery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete with opening doors and engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 4000 hours to develop the base model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 450 hours to build and weather each model\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\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can unveil a new Race Weathered edition, celebrating the 2023 Le Mans winning #51 car driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi.

At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n24 Hours of Le Mans, 10th and 11th of June 2023\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis model of the Ferrari 499P is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the #51 Hypercar raced to victory by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023. Ferrari's victory marked a return to the elite class of WEC after 50 years and also coincided with the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Prior to the race, Ferrari had shown serious pace, having qualified no lower than fourth in the three races so far. However, they had so far been unable to convert that into a victory, as reigning WEC Champions Toyota continued to show their own strength. During the initial one-hour qualifying session, the Ferrari #50 of Antonio Fuoco set the pace, with Pier Guidi’s sister #51 Ferrari in second. The team installed fresh tyres for Hyperpole, expecting a reaction from their rivals. Instead, the Ferraris were even stronger, with Fuoco breaking the Hypercar class record with a lap of 3:22.982 with eight minutes left, despite a LMGTE Am Kessel Ferrari slowing him into the left-hand Indianapolis corner and Arnage turn. Pier Guidi qualified the #51 in second and held pole until Fuoco’s lap. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973, and the 1-2 put them in prime position for the race.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals. Per tradition, the church bells rang in Maranello, the historic home of Ferrari’s headquarters, to signal the #51 499P Hypercar’s victory at Le Mans. This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Race Weathered 2023 Le Mans Ferrari 499P is limited to 51 pieces per livery at 1:8 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40460036997202,"sku":"M6270-SC1-RWV","price":20995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/Ferrari499p1.8ScaleWeathered-PROMO-Front3.4CENTRED.jpg?v=1731936015"},{"product_id":"ford-gt40-1969-le-mans-winner-race-weathered","title":"Ford GT40 - 1969 Le Mans Winner - Race Weathered","description":"\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 40 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on chassis #1075 as raced to victory by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel accompanied by an A1 archive quality Giclée print of the car cruising down the pit lane after its victory on track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering details precisely applied by artisans in Bristol using archival imagery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 50 cms\/20 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\u003eComplete with opening trunk and removeable engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 4000 hours to develop the base model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 450 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 with the assistance and cooperation of the Ford Archive and Heritage department, and Gulf Oil International\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe’re delighted to introduce the most recent in our ever-expanding series of Race Weathered models: the Ford GT40, as raced to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1969.

After failing to secure possession of Enzo Ferrari’s much celebrated company, Henry Ford II returned to America empty-handed and declared his desire to crush Ferrari at Le Mans. The result was a car that was to defeat all before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced for five years between 1964-69, the development of the GT40 was particularly improvised. Despite their tremendous wealth and production capability, Ford as an organisation had precious little racing expertise. Ford negotiated a deal with UK-based Lola Cars owner and chief designer Eric Broadley and dispatched British engineer Roy Lunn back to the UK to take a key role in the project. Overseen by American designer Harley Copp, the team of Broadley, Lunn and ex-Aston Martin team boss John Wyer began working on the new car at the Lola Factory in Bromley. At the end of 1963, the team moved to Slough, at the newly established Ford Advanced Vehicles HQ, under the direction of Wyer. Bruce McLaren, of McLaren Automotive, was hired to evaluate a prototype in August 1963 and then work progressed swiftly, though it was barely finished in time for its unveiling. The first GT40, the GT\/101 (the “GT40” moniker came later and was taken from the car’s height: it stood at 40 inches tall at the top of the windscreen), was revealed in England on 1 April 1964 and soon after exhibited in New York. Purchase price of the completed car for competition use was £5,200 (or £103k in today’s money).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Mans testing a few weeks later revealed severe instability issues at high speed; the GT40 could do 200mph (321km\/h) but wanted to get airborne above 170mph (273km\/h). It’s first outings at the Nürburgring, Le Mans and Reims, despite its incredible reputation, were all DNFs. By the end of the year, Wyer, though still building GT40s, handed the job of racing them to the legendary American ex-racer Carroll Shelby. Shelby replaced the 4.2L engine with a 7.0L beast that he already used to great effect in the Cobra, matched to a new ZF transmission. Armed with its new power unit, the GT40 scored its first win at Daytona 1965 before claiming second place at Sebring. Le Mans, though, was a disaster, with all five entries failing to finish due to mechanical issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1966 marked the beginning of the GT40 legend. A 1-2-3 victory at Daytona was quickly followed by another victory at Sebring. However, it was the Le Mans crown that Ford coveted. Ford assembled an army for the race that year: nine cars, over 100 personnel with 21 tonnes of spare parts. Ford defeated Ferrari in style, dominating the podium with the top three finishers and becoming the first American manufacturer to emerge victorious at Le Mans. Le Mans wins followed for the GT40 for three more years, establishing the GT40 as one of the most iconic race cars of all time.

Driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver, the #6 car recorded the real closest-run finish in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours, and one of the greatest in all of the history of motor racing, beating Hans Hermann’s Porsche 908 by just 120 metres (390 feet) after 372 laps. It was a classic underdog story: Porsche had already wrapped up the World Sportscar Championship with three of the ten races to go and were strong favourites to win Le Mans for the first time. 16 Porsches competed, more than a third of the field, and Porsche did indeed lead for 90% of the race. However, the leading 917's gearbox broke at 11 a.m and the Ford of Ickx and Oliver took over the lead. The race ended in a 3-hour sprint, with the Ford battling exhaust problems whilst being pursued by the Porsche 908 of Herrmann and Gérard Larrousse, who themselves contended with mechanical issues affecting the brakes and engine. Ickx knew if he led onto the Mulsanne straight, Herrmann would pass, but he could slipstream past him back again and then hold a lead for the rest of a lap. The cars crossed the finish line with less than a minute to go and so needed to complete one more lap. The Ford had only ever done 23 laps on a tank of fuel, but now suddenly needed to gain an extra lap. Ickx faked a lack of power from fuel starvation, letting Herrmann pass him early on the Mulsanne Straight, before using the slipstream to pass him again just before the end of the 5km straight. Ickx held off Herrmann to cross the line first, denying Porsche for another year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven more impressively, the car that crossed the line victorious was not a new car made for that year. In fact, it was the exact chassis that won Le Mans the previous year in the hands of Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi. Ickx dedicated the team's victory to previous winner Bianchi, who had been killed earlier in the year. Ickx also emerged the victor after starting the race with a one-man protest against the ‘Le Mans start’, after the death of Porsche privateer Willy Mairisse the previous year, by walking to his car and taking his time doing up his belts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Race Weathered edition of the Ford GT40 is limited to just 40 pieces. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling Race Weathered Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling.

This special edition of just 51 models will be meticulously hand-painted and detailed by our master model makers to show every detail of the race dirt as the car as the car was driven to victory by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 10th and 11th of June 2023.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P represents the marque’s first venture into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and has since carried Ferrari to three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model of the Ferrari 499P is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the #51 Hypercars raced to victory by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023. Ferrari's victory marked a return to the elite class of WEC after 50 years and also coincided with the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Prior to the race, Ferrari had shown serious pace, having qualified no lower than fourth in the three races so far. However, they had so far been unable to convert that into a victory, as reigning WEC Champions Toyota continued to show their own strength. During the initial one-hour qualifying session, the Ferrari #50 of Antonio Fuoco set the pace, with Pier Guidi’s sister #51 Ferrari in second. The team installed fresh tyres for Hyperpole, expecting a reaction from their rivals. Instead, the Ferraris were even stronger, with Fuoco breaking the Hypercar class record with a lap of 3:22.982 with eight minutes left, despite a LMGTE Am Kessel Ferrari slowing him into the left-hand Indianapolis corner and Arnage turn. Pier Guidi qualified the #51 in second and held pole until Fuoco’s lap. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973, and the 1-2 put them in prime position for the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had effectively turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals. Per tradition, the church bells rang in Maranello, the historic home of Ferrari’s headquarters, to signal the #51 499P Hypercar’s victory at Le Mans. This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 499P #51 car is limited to 51 pieces at 1:5 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling Race Weathered Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling.

Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 15th and 16th of June 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese models of the Ferrari 499P are perfect 1:8 scale recreations of the #50 and #51 Hypercars raced by Miguel Molina, Antonio Fuoco and Nicklas Nielsen, Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023. The #50 car claimed Ferrari’s second successive win, following the success of the sister #51 car the previous year, in only the marque’s second appearance in the elite class at Le Mans in 51 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grid consisted of 62 cars, with a record-breaking 23 Hypercars from nine manufacturers competing alongside the LMP2 cars and the new LMGT3 class. The field featured a diverse range of 186 drivers, including previous Le Mans winners, former Formula 1 drivers, current NTT INDYCAR SERIES racers, and GT racing champions. Alongside the #51 and #50 cars, Ferrari AF Corse also entered the yellow-liveried #83, driven by Robert Kubica, Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans amid intense competition, trailing Toyota and Porsche in the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship despite having the comparable race pace. In qualifying, Porsche claimed pole position with the #6 car, followed by Cadillac’s #3 car in second. Ferrari’s #51 and #50 entries were to start third and fourth, Fuoco in the #50 left particularly frustrated after a red flag ended what looked like a very promising lap, while the #83 could only manage twelfth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the race start, the Ferraris were on the pace, Nielsen and Giovinazzi in the #50 and #51 cars seizing the lead after just 13 minutes. Kubica in the #83 had started the race in an equally determined manner, rapidly climbing to fifth place. As the rain began to fall around the two-hour mark, the teams were forced into early strategy decisions. Several hypercars, including the red-liveried Ferraris, switched to wet-weather tyres early. Kubica in the #83, however, stayed on soft slick tyres, mastering his car in the damp conditions. As the track dried, Shwartzman took over the drive and took off, his lead steadily increasing over the chasing #8 Toyota and the #5 Porsche. The rain returned around the sixth hour, triggering another series of pit stops. This time, the #83 stopped for wet tyres and, once again, had judged the conditions perfectly, gaining up to 30 seconds a lap over some of its rivals. However, the #83, then with Kubica at the wheel, was then involved in a collision with the #15 BMW of Dries Vanthoor, sending the Belgian racer into the wall as he tried to unlap himself. The incident triggered a lengthy safety car period of over ninety minutes, and the stewards shortly found Kubica at fault, handing down a 30-second penalty stop and go penalty, dropping the #83 back into the pack. At the nine-hour mark, the #50, #83 and #51 Ferrari trio were fifth, sixth and seventh, trailing the #8 Toyota, #6 Porsche, #7 Toyota and #2 Cadillac. Deep into the night, Race Control triggered a Safety Car period for almost four-and-a-half hours after, due to a combination of continuous heavy rain and low visibility in the dark. The race resumed just after the sixteen-hour mark, with the #50 in third, and the #83 fifth, having gained positions in the pit stop periods. Giovinazzi in the #51 maintained seventh place, though soon received a drive-through penalty for incorrect speeds during a full course yellow. The battle for position continued until another hour of safety car, this time triggered by a big crash in the GT class, bunching up the Hypercars again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven hours from the end, 11 cars were still on the lead lap and could still vie for victory. The rain ceased, and the battle was intense as cars jostled for position: Cadillac lost two cars, an oil leak stopping the #3 and a spectacular accident ending the #311 Cadillac’s hopes; Porsche lost the #4 car after a crash at Indianapolis, whilst #5 and #6 were lagging. Ferrari weren’t immune, the #83 pulling into the pits with smoke billowing from the brakes before being diagnosed with a terminal hybrid system issue. Ultimately, it looked like a repeat of last year’s finale, as the remaining #50 and #51 Ferraris took on the #7 and #8 Toyotas. However, a mistake by Pier Guidi in the #51 span the #8 Toyota around at Mulsanne corner, and the Italian was duly punished with a five second penalty. It looked like further advantage was handed to Toyota when Nielsen was forced to bring the #50 into the pits when the car’s right-hand door came loose. With fifty minutes to go, this off-sequence stop should have left the 499P requiring one final visit to the pits; but Ferrari were confident that the car could stretch its fuel load, a strategy that would come under deep scrutiny when the #7 Toyota came in for its final stop less than ten minutes later, knowing it would reach the end. Twenty minutes later, there was a growing realisation amongst the teams and fans that Ferrari had pulled off a masterstroke as Nielsen expertly managed his machine to the chequered flag, securing a second successive win for Ferrari by a margin of 14.221 seconds. Despite the late penalty, the #51 crossed the line to claim the final podium position, denying the pole-sitting #6 Porsche by a mere 1.167 seconds over the line. This success marked the Prancing Horse’s 11th overall victory in the classic French endurance race, adding to 29 class wins, for a total of 40 victories. By triumphing at the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Formula 1 GP, Ferrari was also the first manufacturer to climb to the top step of the podium in two of the world’s most prestigious races in the same year since 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is limited to 499 pieces per livery at 1:8 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a part of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/24-hours-of-le-mans\" title=\"Discover the 24 Hours of Le Mans Collection\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eDiscover the Collection \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Number 50 Ferrari - AF Corse","offer_id":41065950675026,"sku":"M6270-SC4","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Number 51 Ferrari - AF Corse","offer_id":41065950642258,"sku":"M6270-SC3","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6270-SC4-4Ferrari499P2024LeMans_108.jpg?v=1731956421"},{"product_id":"mclaren-mcl38-miami-grand-prix-2024","title":"McLaren MCL38 - 2024 Miami Grand Prix","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 99 pieces per driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs raced to by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix on the 5th May 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 70 cm\/27 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 2500 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 250 hours to build 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 and paint codes supplied by McLaren Racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first McLaren to win the Constructors’ Championship since 1998, the MCL38 was McLaren Racing’s entrant into the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their sixth and second seasons with the team respectively, the MCL38 not only surpassed the total number of podiums and points achieved in 2023, it brought Norris and Piastri their maiden Grand Prix wins, earned McLaren a first race success in four years, and was the first McLaren to earn multiple Grand Prix victories in a single season since 2012. Throughout the 2024 season, the MCL38 consistently ranked among the fastest Formula One cars, exceeding even McLaren’s own ambitious expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the extraordinary turnaround in fortunes during the 2023 season, where the initially uncompetitive MCL60 evolved into a multiple podium-achieving front runner due to several upgrades, early development work on the MCL38 prioritised enhancements in aerodynamic efficiency, mechanical grip, and tyre performance. In its early races, the MCL38 exhibited strong performance in medium- and high-speed corners, representing a significant improvement over its predecessor. However, it faced challenges, including a less competitive top speed, a less efficient drag reduction system, and poorer performance in longer corners compared to rivals at Red Bull and Ferrari. Despite these shortcomings, the McLaren pairing of Norris and Piastri scored consistent points from the outset, finishing no lower than eighth in the first five races of the season. Notably, Norris achieved a third place podium position in the Australian Grand Prix and secured a second-place finish in China, trailing only early championship leader Max Verstappen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raft of major upgrades were introduced in Miami to tackle these issues, and the impact was immediate. Lando Norris earned his maiden Formula 1 victory, marking McLaren’s first success since Daniel Ricciardo at Monza three years prior. While luck played its part in the victory – thanks to a fortuitously timed safety car during the round of pit stops - Norris's MCL38 showcased the pace necessary to maintain the lead once he was in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that point on, the positive results continued to flow. Norris claimed further second place finishes at the Emilia Romagna, Canadian and Spanish Grand Prix, while Piastri claimed his best result of the season with his own second-place finish in Monaco. Following the Spanish Grand Prix, many commentators and rivals suggested the overall McLaren package, which was being further optimised with a new front wing and front suspension, was now a formidable contender against the Championship-leading Red Bull RB20. This rivalry came to a head at the next race in Austria, where fierce battle for the lead between Norris and Verstappen resulted in contact that forced the McLaren to retire with terminal damage. Piastri capitalised on the situation to finish second. At the next race at Silverstone, despite enthusiastic home support, the team were unable to convert a strong performance into a win but still achieved a respectable third and fourth place. During qualifying at the next race in Hungary, McLaren claimed their first front-row lockout since 2012. In a closely contested race between the two drivers, Piastri eventually claimed his maiden victory, leading Norris home for the team’s first 1-2 finish since the 2021 Italian Grand Prix. Piastri later secured another second place finish in Belgium following the disqualification of original race winner George Russell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the summer break, McLaren introduced a comprehensive package of upgrades for the Dutch Grand Prix, which included a new brake scoop, front and rear suspension, floor and edge wing, and beam and rear wings. The results were immediate, with Norris claiming his second victory of the season. At the Italian Grand Prix, the MCL38 was run with circuit-specific front and rear wings and a new sidepod design, introduced to complement the changes made in the Netherlands. Both McLarens claimed podium finishes but were ultimately beaten by Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who executed a perfect one-stop strategy. Piastri would gain revenge just two weeks later in Azerbaijan, successfully executing a brave late-braking manoeuvre on Leclerc to secure a second victory of the season, propelling McLaren into the lead in the Constructors’ Championship for the first time since 2014. Norris would further extend this lead with a dominant win at the Singapore Grand Prix, leading the entire race from pole, while Piastri finished third. However, maintaining consistent results proved challenging over the next five races as competition intensified among Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, resulting in four different winners from those teams. Nevertheless, the McLaren pair continued to score points, with Norris claiming another second position in Mexico and Piastri a further podium in Qatar. In Las Vegas, Norris would lose his mathematical chance of beating Verstappen to the Drivers’ title, as the Dutchman’s early season form proved insurmountable. The Constructors’ battle culminated at the final race in Abu Dhabi, McLaren leading rivals Ferrari by 21 points heading into the race. Norris would claim crucial race victory, especially following Verstappen’s collision with Piastri on the opening lap. Ferrari’s second and third place finishes proved insufficient to overcome the gap, sealing McLaren’s first Constructors’ Championship in 26 years, and the first for a customer team since Brawn GP in 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the McLaren MCL38 earned six wins, 15 further podiums, eight pole positions and seven fastest laps, scoring 666 points and securing McLaren their first World Constructors’ Championship since 1998. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, finishing second and fourth with 374 and 292 points respectively. Additionally, the MCL38 also was honoured as the International Competition Car of the Year at the 2025 Autosport Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models are of the McLaren MCL38 as raced to first and thirteenth positions by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome on the 5th of May 2024. McLaren arrived in Miami armed with a new upgrade package, including a new front wing, new front suspension geometry and updated rear suspension, revised front and rear brake ducts and winglets, a new floor, revised sidepod inlets, and a new engine cover and bodywork including a new louvre arrangement. Aside from these performance upgrades, the car also featured a circuit-specific beam wing. The pace improvement was noticeable immediately, as Norris topped the first two segments of Sprint Qualification, though was unable to match this pace in Q3, qualifying ninth. Piastri claimed sixth on the grid. Norris was unable to make it past Turn 1, left with terminal damage getting caught in the midst of an incident with the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Aston Martin’s of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. Piastri finished the sprint race sixth, unable to pass Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari or the Racing Bull of Daniel Ricciardo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the damage sustained in the Sprint race, Norris’ car was ready for qualifying, and the McLarens locked out the third row, Norris qualifying fifth and Piastri sixth for the main event on the Sunday, behind the Red Bull of Max Verstappen, the Ferrari pair of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz and the other Red Bull of Sergio Pérez. Piastri was the quicker starter, taking full advantage of a major lock up from Pérez, passing three cars around the outside of Turn 1 and slotting into third place. Norris made it through the first corner cleanly despite the near-incident ahead, closely following the recovering Pérez. A couple of laps later, Piastri overtook Leclerc using the Drag Reduction System on the lengthy run between Turns 16 and 17 to take second place, as race leader Verstappen continued to extend his lead. Pérez was the first of the front-runners to pit on Lap 18, releasing Norris into clean air, whilst Leclerc followed on Lap 20, increasing the pressure on Piastri in second. Verstappen clipped a bollard at the Turn 14\/15 chicane, prompting a short Virtual Safety Car to retrieve the debris, before stopping for his own pit stop on Lap 23. Piastri, Sainz and Norris all continued up front for a few more laps before McLaren and Ferrari both pitted their leading drivers on Lap 27, leaving Norris in the race lead, though still needing to make his own stop. Moments later, the yellow flags flew, and a full Safety Car was deployed, for an incident involving the Haas of Kevin Magnussen and Williams’ Logan Sargeant, playing brilliantly into the hands of Norris, who was now able to complete his pit stop with a much smaller time loss, returning to the track at the head of the field. Verstappen followed, ahead of Leclerc, Piastri, Sainz and Pérez. At the end of Lap 32, the Safety Car returned to the pits, as Norris had to go defensive under strong pressure from Verstappen behind. The Dutchman then made an error, giving the Briton some breathing space, after which he pumped in a series of rapid sector times to move out of DRS range. Piastri, meanwhile, tangled with Sainz at Turn 11, sustaining damage to his front wing, necessitating a pit stop for a new one, which dropped him to the back of the field and out of the points. He ultimately finished 13th, the skirmish proving costly. Norris, however, driving with plenty of confidence and maturity, continued to edge away from Verstappen as the laps ticked by, expertly managing the final few laps to become a Grand Prix winner for the very first time, while earning McLaren their first win in almost three years. Norris became Formula 1’s 114th race winner, and the 21st British driver to achieve the feat, on his 110th start for McLaren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe McLaren MCL38 Miami Grand Prix is limited to just 99 pieces per driver.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a part of the McLaren MCL38 Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/mclaren-mcl38\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the McLaren MCL38 Collection \u0026gt; \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Lando Norris","offer_id":41065983279186,"sku":"M6317-SC1","price":8995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oscar Piastri","offer_id":41065985212498,"sku":"M6317-SC2","price":8995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6317-SC1McLarenMCL38MiamiNor_15_EDIT.jpg?v=1737637515"},{"product_id":"mclaren-mcl38-monaco-grand-prix-2024","title":"McLaren MCL38 - 2024 Monaco Grand Prix","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 30 pieces per driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs raced by Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco at Circuit de Monaco on the 26th of May 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdorned with McLaren Racing’s special Senna Tribute Livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 70 cm\/27 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 2500 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 250 hours to build 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 and paint codes supplied by McLaren Racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first McLaren to win the Constructors’ Championship since 1998, the MCL38 was McLaren Racing’s entrant into the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Both Norris’s #4 and Oscar Piastri’s #81 cars were adorned in a special Senna Tribute livery, commemorating the life of legendary Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, who raced for McLaren between 1988 to 1993, winning three Formula 1 World Championships and five Monaco Grand Prix. The vibrant colour scheme on the MCL38 was inspired by Ayrton Senna’s iconic race helmet, and was unveiled alongside the evocative Senna Sempre-livered McLaren Senna as part of an initiative commemorating Ayrton Senna’s racing brilliance, 30 years after his passing in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiastri qualified second in the tight, twisting streets of Monaco, only losing out to home favourite Charles Leclerc by just 0.154 seconds. Norris qualified fourth, behind the other Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, just a further 0.118 seconds adrift. On an eventful first lap, contact between Piastri and Sainz saw the Spaniard go straight on in Sainte Devote due to a puncture. However, it was a heavy crash between the Red Bull of Sergio Pérez and the two Haas cars of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hülkenberg that saw the red flag waved, as debris was strewn across the circuit and the barriers required repairs. The race resumed with the original race order, giving Sainz a reprieve and pushing Norris back down to fourth. All the teams made their mandatory tyre swap during the red flag period, meaning it was race to the finish. The second getaway was much cleaner, and whilst the front four remained tight through the race, none of the top ten drivers were able to overtake each other for the first time in Formula 1 history. Piastri came home second to tie his career-best Grand Prix finish from Qatar 202, and for McLaren’s best result in Monaco since Lewis Hamilton won here in 2008.

Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Ferrari 499P Full Size Replica Steering Wheel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model of the Ferrari 499P Steering Wheel is a perfect full-size replica of the steering wheel used in the #51 Hypercar raced by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe racing car’s steering wheel is the primary interface between the driver and their Hypercar.

From 1949 through to 1973, Ferrari were a dominant force in the World Sportscar Championship, earning over 15 sports prototype title wins and nine overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The marque sustained success at GT level through the 2000s and 2010s, followed in 2023 and 2024 by its 10th and 11th wins at Le Mans with the 499P. The 499P Modificata was developed specifically to celebrate this glorious history in endurance racing with a client car that could follow in the footsteps of those legends. From 2024, the Corse Clienti department will organise the “Sport Prototipi Clienti” programme which will run alongside the other specialist client activities, including F1 Clienti and XX Programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 499P Modificata is the highest-performance closed-wheel car that Ferrari has ever proposed for non-competitive use on the track.

The car’s Energy Recovery System is connected to the front axle and fed by a brake-by-wire system. Coupled with a seven-speed sequential gearbox, the system can deliver a maximum power output of 640 kW (870 cv) on the road through a four-wheel drive system, unhampered by FIA WEC regulations. The power unit shares similar architecture to the 296 GT3 but has been completely revised by Ferrari engineers to develop dedicated solutions and lower the total weight. One of these changes is the inclusion of “Push to Pass,” similar to the KERS system introduced to Formula 1 in 2009. This lets the driver benefit from an additional 120 kW (163 cv) of power in addition to the 520 kW (707 cv) nominally available for a limited period of time during the lap, achieving maximum possible power.

The 125, named for its 124.73 cc cylinder capacity, debuted in the 125 S sports racer and was later supercharged for use in the marque’s inaugural Formula 1 car, the 125 F1. The Colombo quickly expanded to 2.0 litres for the 1948 season, powering the Ferrari 166 Barchetta to victory at both the Giro di Sicilia and the Mille Miglia. Further advancements led to various sizes of the Colombo V12 being employed in the early 166, 195, and 212 models, before Gioacchino Colombo departed Ferrari to return to Alfa Romeo in 1950. However, the V12 Colombo’s development continued under Aurelio Lampredi, who took over as Ferrari’s lead engine designer, leading to the debut of the 250 in the 250S in 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften described as jewel-like, the Colombo was estimated to have required up to 70% longer machining time and 50% more parts compared to a traditional in-line, six-cylinder engine. Despite their handmade charm, these 250 engines powered some of the most revered cars to ever emerge from Maranello, including: the 250 Testa Rossa and the beautiful 250 GT California Spider in 1957; the iconic 250 GT SWB two years later; and the most valuable Ferrari of all time, the 250 GTO. By the time the 250 GTO was first produced in 1962, the Colombo 250 had already established itself for a decade, yet the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of the 250 GT series, epitomising Ferrari’s philosophy of combining unparalleled performance with stunning design. The Colombo also powered the mid-engined 250 LM, followed by road cars like the 400 Superfast, 275 GTB, and 365 GTB\/4 Daytona. The final iteration appeared in the 412 four-seater of 1985, until both the 412 and its Colombo engine were retired in August 1988. By then the end of its 41-year production cycle, the Colombo V12 had evolved from its original 1.5 litre capacity and 100 horsepower to an impressive 4.9 litres and 395 horsepower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its inception in 1947, the core architecture of this first generation of V12s wasn't fully replaced until the 1990s, a true testament to its engineering genius. Even today, Ferrari continues to employ a wrinkled red finish to the rocker covers of its V12s, a design detail established by the 250 Testa Rossa (Italian for \"redhead\") in 1957. Lauded for decades for its balance, durability, longevity and soundtrack, the Colombo V12 has defined what the world has come to expect from a modern-day Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:4 scale model of the Ferrari 250 GTO Engine and Gearbox has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using our CAD data developed from a detailed digital scan of the engine from original chassis 3987GT, allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

The 499P Modificata sets a new benchmark for track driving thrills, unrestricted by the technical regulations that govern its competitive counterpart.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFerrari’s Continued Endurance Success\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari’s unparalleled history has been written by its efforts not just in Formula 1 but in endurance racing, achieving prestigious results in both the GT and sports-prototype categories. From 1949 through to 1973, Ferrari were a dominant force in the World Sportscar Championship, earning over 15 sports prototype title wins and nine overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The marque sustained success at GT level through the 2000s and 2010s, followed in 2023 and 2024 by its 10th and 11th wins at Le Mans with the 499P. The 499P Modificata was developed specifically to celebrate this glorious history in endurance racing with a client car that could follow in the footsteps of those legends. From 2024, the Corse Clienti department will organise the “Sport Prototipi Clienti” programme which will run alongside the other specialist client activities, including F1 Clienti and XX Programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 499P Modificata is the highest-performance closed-wheel car that Ferrari has ever proposed for non-competitive use on the track. Built on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. As opposed to its competitive cousin, the 499P Modificata uses specific Pirelli tyres that were developed for predictable handling and to maximise feedback in non-competitive driving, making them quick to warm up and promoting consistent grip over peak performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts hybrid powertrain combines a 120-degree twin-turbo mid-rear mounted V6 engine with a 200 kW (272 cv) electric motor on the front axle equipped with a differential and an Energy Recovery System informed by the marque’s Formula 1 programme. The car’s Energy Recovery System is connected to the front axle and fed by a brake-by-wire system. Coupled with a seven-speed sequential gearbox, the system can deliver a maximum power output of 640 kW (870 cv) on the road through a four-wheel drive system, unhampered by FIA WEC regulations. The power unit shares similar architecture to the 296 GT3 but has been completely revised by Ferrari engineers to develop dedicated solutions and lower the total weight. One of these changes is the inclusion of “Push to Pass,” similar to the KERS system introduced to Formula 1 in 2009. This lets the driver benefit from an additional 120 kW (163 cv) of power in addition to the 520 kW (707 cv) nominally available for a limited period of time during the lap, achieving maximum possible power. The driver can activate the system using a button on the back of the steering wheel; the extra power is only released when the accelerator is pushed to full throttle and for a duration of no more than 7 seconds per activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 499P Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is only available as a Tailor Made bespoke build at 1:5 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41241265700946,"sku":"M6315-BES","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/WebEdit_0000_240077-ferrari-sport-prototipi-clienti-mugello-2024_307907eb-b188-4a70-aead-96b5e8f4b80f.jpg?v=1724228718"},{"product_id":"ferrari-250-gto-tailor-made","title":"Ferrari 250 GTO - Tailor Made","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmalgam Collection offer a unique bespoke service for owners of the Ferrari 250 GTO.

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 1:18 scale model is of the Ferrari 250 GTO which was first unveiled to the world at a Press Conference in Maranello February 1962.

In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the MCL39 secured the Constructors’ title in joint-record time at the Singapore Grand Prix, with six races remaining in the season.

Radiators were repositioned further up and backwards, and the car retained the front pull-rod and rear push-rod suspension layout, now enhanced with increased anti-dive measures to improve ride-height control. Other notable changes included redesigned sidepod inlets, revised engine cover bodywork, and a new, wider airbox inlet. Every component was optimised for maximum performance, and McLaren continued to introduce upgrades throughout the season, reinforcing the car’s adaptability and speed across all circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubtle Changes to a Winning Livery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the F1 75 launch event on 18 February 2025 at London’s O2 Arena, the MCL39’s livery remained largely consistent with 2024, preserving McLaren’s iconic papaya colour palette accented with anthracite and a hint of teal. Subtle updates included refreshed driver numbers and a new race seat, while elements from the geometric camouflage design shown on pre-season filming day were incorporated into the driver race suits. A diagonal cut-through integrated anthracite into the papaya aesthetic, maintaining visual continuity with the team’s Championship-winning heritage while giving the MCL39 a distinct 2025 identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Season Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MCL39 proved immensely reliable and consistently competitive in the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri throughout a full calendar of challenging circuits. Norris claimed the season-opening win in Australia to seize the early initiative in the title battle, but Piastri responded with four victories across the next five rounds - in China, where he led home a McLaren 1-2, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, securing a second 1-2 finish - to take the lead in the standings himself. Norris then returned to winning form in Monaco, while Piastri triumphed in Spain, as the duo continued to tussle closely for the championship advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanada proved a flashpoint, as the pair collided on the main straight. Piastri managed to continue, while Norris, taking full responsibility for the incident, retired with terminal damage - McLaren’s first retirement of the season. The team bounced back with four consecutive 1-2 finishes: Norris led home in Austria, Britain, and Hungary, while Piastri claimed victory in Belgium. The Australian added another win in the Netherlands, though Norris suffered the team’s only mechanical retirement of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the latter part of the year, title rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull hit top form, winning six of the remaining nine races. Piastri’s own performances dipped slightly, starting with a crash in Azerbaijan - where Norris finished seventh - followed by four races without a podium. Despite this, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore with six races remaining. Norris and Verstappen closed the gap on Piastri in the Drivers’ standings, with Norris overtaking his teammate in Mexico and extending his advantage in Brazil. A setup error led to both McLarens being disqualified in Las Vegas due to a technical regulations breach, leaving Verstappen level on points with Piastri and just two races behind Norris. In the closing rounds, Verstappen won in Qatar ahead of Piastri, while Norris finished fourth, setting up a three-driver showdown at Abu Dhabi. Verstappen won again in the finale, beating Piastri, but Norris claimed the final podium position and secured his maiden Drivers’ Championship by just two points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the McLaren MCL39 earned fourteen wins, twenty further podiums, thirteen pole positions and twelve fastest laps, scoring 833 points and securing McLaren a second successive World Constructors’ Championship and a first World Drivers’ Championship since 2008. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, the former winning the Drivers’ title with 423 points, whilst Piastri claimed third in the standings with 410 points respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Australian Grand Prix Race Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models of the McLaren MCL39 replicate the cars raced to first and ninth by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit on the 16th of March 2025. The McLaren duo qualified first and second, with Norris narrowly pipping Piastri to pole by 0.084 seconds after comfortably taking the provisional top spot from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by three-tenths of a second. After an aborted start caused by Isack Hadjar spinning his Racing Bull into the barrier on the formation lap, polesitter Norris got away well to maintain the lead into Turn 1, fending off challenges from Piastri and Verstappen, though Verstappen passed the home favourite en route to Turn 2. Almost immediately, another Safety Car was called when Jack Doohan crashed his Alpine. At the race restart, Norris pulled away from Verstappen, who in turn opened a gap to Piastri, allowing the leaders to break from the chasing pack. Verstappen ran wide at Turn 10 going too deep into Turn 11, giving Piastri the chance to reclaim second. Within just two laps, Piastri had established a five-second advantage over third place. By Lap 25, Norris’ lead over Piastri stood at just under two seconds, while Verstappen was already around ten seconds back. After navigating backmarker traffic, the McLarens were free to race, though Piastri soon ran wide at Turn 6 and dropped three seconds. Further drama unfolded on lap 34 when Fernando Alonso crashed heavily, prompting another Safety Car and a flurry of pit stops. At the end of Lap 41, Norris managed the restart perfectly to retain his lead over Piastri and Verstappen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the race entered its closing stages, late rainfall on lap 44 caused both McLarens to briefly leave the track and over the grass at Turn 12. Norris remained unscathed and immediately pitted for intermediates, Piastri agonisingly ending up rearwards in the Turn 13 run-off. Verstappen stayed out for two more laps before also switching to inters, creating renewed pressure for the leader. The final Safety Car period, prompted by accidents for Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, regrouped the field for a tense restart. Norris expertly held position through the restart, fending off Verstappen’s late charge, while Piastri recovered from his off-track excursion to continue his points fight.

The McLaren duo qualified first and second, with Norris narrowly pipping Piastri to pole by 0.084 seconds after comfortably taking the provisional top spot from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by three-tenths of a second. After an aborted start caused by Isack Hadjar spinning his Racing Bull into the barrier on the formation lap, polesitter Norris got away well to maintain the lead into Turn 1, fending off challenges from Piastri and Verstappen, though Verstappen passed the home favourite en route to Turn 2. Almost immediately, another Safety Car was called when Jack Doohan crashed his Alpine. At the race restart, Norris pulled away from Verstappen, who in turn opened a gap to Piastri, allowing the leaders to break from the chasing pack. Verstappen ran wide at Turn 10 going too deep into Turn 11, giving Piastri the chance to reclaim second. Within just two laps, Piastri had established a five-second advantage over third place. By Lap 25, Norris’ lead over Piastri stood at just under two seconds, while Verstappen was already around ten seconds back. After navigating backmarker traffic, the McLarens were free to race, though Piastri soon ran wide at Turn 6 and dropped three seconds. Further drama unfolded on lap 34 when Fernando Alonso crashed heavily, prompting another Safety Car and a flurry of pit stops. At the end of Lap 41, Norris managed the restart perfectly to retain his lead over Piastri and Verstappen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the race entered its closing stages, late rainfall on lap 44 caused both McLarens to briefly leave the track and over the grass at Turn 12. Norris remained unscathed and immediately pitted for intermediates, Piastri agonisingly ending up rearwards in the Turn 13 run-off. Verstappen stayed out for two more laps before also switching to inters, creating renewed pressure for the leader. The final Safety Car period, prompted by accidents for Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, regrouped the field for a tense restart. Norris expertly held position through the restart, fending off Verstappen’s late charge, while Piastri recovered from his off-track excursion to continue his points fight. In the final laps, Norris maintained composure and crossed the line to claim his fifth career victory, marking McLaren’s first Australian Grand Prix win since 2012.

Although it was the fourth of the second generation of ground effect cars introduced in 2022, it represented a complete redesign, utilising distinct technical solutions to those adopted in the past. The most visible change initiated was the transition from a pushrod to a pull-rod front suspension.

The contrast between white and red was a tribute to the marque’s history and identity, and to the continuous evolution of Ferrari style, a manifesto for refined sportiness and timeless aesthetics.

Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\nWinning DNA\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\nNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\nCompetition History\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models faithfully recreate the #83, #51, and #50 Ferrari 499P Hypercars that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on 14–15 June 2025. The #83 AF Corse entry secured Ferrari’s third consecutive overall victory at Le Mans, while the #51 claimed the final podium position. The #50 car crossed the line in fourth but was later disqualified due to a technical infringement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari arrived at the 2025 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the back of three consecutive race wins in the FIA World Endurance Championship, making their trio of 499P Hypercars favourites for overall victory. However, an extremely competitive qualifying session saw the #50, #51, and #83 Ferraris start from seventh, eleventh, and thirteenth on the grid — far from the ideal front-row lockout the team had hoped for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race began under clear skies, with the Ferraris immediately attacking to recover from their mid-grid positions. The opening laps were frantic, with Hypercars jostling for every position before the first encounters with traffic on lap seven intensified the battles. By the second hour, the #50 Ferrari AF Corse entry surged past the #38 Cadillac with Nicklas Nielsen overtaking on the Mulsanne. Nielsen then reeled in the #12 Cadillac, executing a clinical pass before chasing down the #6 Porsche for second, using superior traction to pass through the second chicane. By hour three, with Antonio Fuoco at the wheel, the #50 moved into the lead, while the #51 and #83 continued their charge, dispatching rivals to climb into the top four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after the four-hour mark, the #51 and #83 Ferraris muscled past the #6 Porsche, and all three 499Ps were competing for the lead. Kubica in the #83 received a five-second penalty for a track limits infraction but responded with an incredible stint as night fell, taking the #83 into the lead. In the hands of Yifei Ye and then Phil Hanson, the #83 extended its stints compared to the factory-run cars and, by midnight, held a slender lead of under two seconds over the #51. Meanwhile, the #50 incurred a drive-through penalty that dropped it to fourth, with just 37 seconds covering the top five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lock-up by Hanson allowed James Calado in the #51 to seize the lead, but a series of setbacks soon hit the red car: a front-left puncture, a five-second penalty for contact with an LMGT3 Corvette, and another penalty for speeding in the pit lane, dropping the #51 to eighth. The lead cycled between the #6 Porsche, #8 Toyota, and the yellow #83 Ferrari as pit strategies and track conditions evolved. After a slow Porsche pit stop, Ye passed the #8 Toyota to reclaim the lead for the #83, with the #51 and #50 recovering to third and fifth positions. Immediately after a yellow flag period, Calado in the #51 overtook the #83 again, building a healthy lead of over thirty seconds. However, during a routine pit stop, Alessandro Pier Guidi spun the #51 heading into the pits, nearly beaching the car in the gravel. Although he recovered, the spin cost fifty seconds, dropping the #51 back to third and handing the lead back to the #83, closely pursued by the #50 and the #6 Porsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 24 hours of relentless racing, the #83 Ferrari 499P held firm to cross the line first, thanks to a superb final four-hour stint by Robert Kubica. Completing 374 laps, the #83 secured Ferrari’s twelfth overall victory at Le Mans — the first outright win for a privateer Ferrari entry since 1965 — and guaranteed Ferrari permanent possession of the winners’ trophy, awarded to any manufacturer achieving three consecutive victories. The triumph also marked historic firsts: Robert Kubica became the first Polish driver to win Le Mans; Yifei Ye, the first Chinese driver; and Phil Hanson celebrated his maiden Le Mans victory, becoming the 35th British driver — and third to do it with Ferrari — to win at La Sarthe. For Kubica and Ye, the win was especially poignant after the heartbreak of losing an LMP2 class victory on the final lap in 2021, while for Kubica, the result completed an emotional journey after missing his chance to race in Formula 1 with Ferrari due to a devastating rally accident in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe #51 finished on the podium in third — securing its third consecutive Le Mans top-three after victory in 2023 and third in 2024 — as the #6 Porsche claimed second place as the factory Ferraris slowed late in the race to protect their power units. The #50 crossed the line fourth but was later disqualified for a technical infraction related to bolts in the car’s rear wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2025 Le Mans Ferrari 499P is limited to 499 pieces per livery at 1:8 scale. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Number 83 - AF Corse","offer_id":42069611610194,"sku":"M6270-SC8","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Number 51 - Ferrari AF Corse","offer_id":42069611642962,"sku":"M6270-SC7","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Number 50 - Ferrari AF Corse","offer_id":42069611675730,"sku":"M6270-SC6","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6270-SC8photo_54_EDIT.jpg?v=1762364102"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2025-le-mans-1-18","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2025 Le Mans Winner","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the #83 Hypercar driven to victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale model, over 28 cms\/11 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 800 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P represents the marque’s first venture into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and has since carried Ferrari to three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews.

The #83 AF Corse entry secured Ferrari’s third consecutive overall triumph at Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites, riding the momentum of three straight wins in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The #83 sat third in the standings behind the two factory Ferraris, eager to bounce back after a disappointing result at Spa-Francorchamps caused by turbo issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race began under clear skies, with the #83 joining a determined Ferrari charge to recover from mid-grid starting positions. The opening laps were frantic, with Hypercars fighting for every inch of track before traffic on lap seven escalated the intensity. By hour two, the #83 had battled past Alpine, Toyota, Cadillac, BMW, and Porsche rivals to climb into the top four behind the #50 Ferrari, the #6 Porsche, and the #51 Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after the four-hour mark, the #51 and #83 Ferraris muscled past the #6 Porsche, placing all three 499Ps in the fight for the lead. Kubica in the #83 received a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits but responded with a brilliant stint as night fell, propelling the #83 into the lead while the #50 was handed a drive-through penalty. In the hands of Yifei Ye and then Phil Hanson, the #83 executed longer stints than the factory cars, maintaining a slender advantage of under two seconds over the #51 by midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lock-up by Hanson allowed the #51 to reclaim the lead, but a series of incidents soon struck the red car, dropping it to eighth and out of the immediate battle for victory. The lead shifted between the #6 Porsche, #8 Toyota, and the yellow-liveried #83 Ferrari as pit strategies and changing conditions played out. After a slow pit stop by Porsche, Ye overtook the #8 Toyota to return the #83 to the front, with the factory Ferraris close behind. Immediately after a yellow flag period, the #51 surged past the #83 and built a 30-second lead, but a spin heading into the pits cost it nearly a minute and handed the advantage back to the #83, still closely pursued by the #50 and the #6 Porsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 24 hours of relentless racing, the #83 Ferrari 499P held firm to cross the line first, thanks to a superb final four-hour stint by Robert Kubica. Completing 374 laps, the #83 secured Ferrari’s twelfth overall victory at Le Mans — the first outright win for a privateer Ferrari since 1965 — and ensured Ferrari would retain permanent possession of the winners’ trophy, awarded to manufacturers achieving three consecutive victories. The triumph also marked historic firsts: Robert Kubica became the first Polish driver to win Le Mans; Yifei Ye, the first Chinese driver; and Phil Hanson celebrated his maiden victory at La Sarthe, becoming the 35th British driver — and the third to do so with Ferrari — to triumph at the legendary race. For Kubica and Ye, the win was especially poignant, coming after their heartbreak of losing an LMP2 class victory on the final lap in 2021. For Kubica, the result completed an emotional journey, following the rally accident in 2011 that denied him the chance to race in Formula 1 with Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42069670199378,"sku":"M6274-SC3","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6274-SC3photos_6.jpg?v=1776347123"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2024-le-mans-1-18","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2024 Le Mans Winner","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the #50 Hypercar as raced to victory by Miguel Molina, Antonio Fuoco and Nicklas Nielsen in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 15th and 16th of June 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale model, over 28 cms\/11 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 800 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P represents the marque’s first venture into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and has since carried Ferrari to three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe.

The #50 car claimed Ferrari’s second successive win, following the success of the sister #51 car the previous year, in only the marque’s second appearance in the elite class at Le Mans in 51 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grid consisted of 62 cars, with a record-breaking 23 Hypercars from nine manufacturers competing alongside the LMP2 cars and the new LMGT3 class. The field featured a diverse range of 186 drivers, including previous Le Mans winners, former Formula 1 drivers, current NTT INDYCAR SERIES racers, and GT racing champions. Alongside the #51 and #50 cars, Ferrari AF Corse also entered the yellow-liveried #83, driven by Robert Kubica, Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans amid intense competition, trailing Toyota and Porsche in the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship despite having the comparable race pace. In qualifying, Porsche claimed pole position with the #6 car, followed by Cadillac’s #3 car in second. Ferrari’s #51 and #50 entries were to start third and fourth, Fuoco in the #50 left particularly frustrated after a red flag ended what looked like a very promising lap, while the #83 could only manage twelfth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the race start, the Ferraris were on the pace, Nielsen and Giovinazzi in the #50 and #51 cars seizing the lead after just 13 minutes. Kubica in the #83 had started the race in an equally determined manner, rapidly climbing to fifth place. As the rain began to fall around the two-hour mark, the teams were forced into early strategy decisions. Several hypercars, including the red-liveried Ferraris, switched to wet-weather tyres early. Kubica in the #83, however, stayed on soft slick tyres, mastering his car in the damp conditions. As the track dried, Shwartzman took over the drive and took off, his lead steadily increasing over the chasing #8 Toyota and the #5 Porsche. The rain returned around the sixth hour, triggering another series of pit stops. This time, the #83 stopped for wet tyres and, once again, had judged the conditions perfectly, gaining up to 30 seconds a lap over some of its rivals. However, the #83, then with Kubica at the wheel, was then involved in a collision with the #15 BMW of Dries Vanthoor, sending the Belgian racer into the wall as he tried to unlap himself. The incident triggered a lengthy safety car period of over ninety minutes, and the stewards shortly found Kubica at fault, handing down a 30-second penalty stop and go penalty, dropping the #83 back into the pack. At the nine-hour mark, the #50, #83 and #51 Ferrari trio were fifth, sixth and seventh, trailing the #8 Toyota, #6 Porsche, #7 Toyota and #2 Cadillac. Deep into the night, Race Control triggered a Safety Car period for almost four-and-a-half hours after, due to a combination of continuous heavy rain and low visibility in the dark. The race resumed just after the sixteen-hour mark, with the #50 in third, and the #83 fifth, having gained positions in the pit stop periods. Giovinazzi in the #51 maintained seventh place, though soon received a drive-through penalty for incorrect speeds during a full course yellow. The battle for position continued until another hour of safety car, this time triggered by a big crash in the GT class, bunching up the Hypercars again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven hours from the end, 11 cars were still on the lead lap and could still vie for victory. The rain ceased, and the battle was intense as cars jostled for position: Cadillac lost two cars, an oil leak stopping the #3 and a spectacular accident ending the #311 Cadillac’s hopes; Porsche lost the #4 car after a crash at Indianapolis, whilst #5 and #6 were lagging. Ferrari weren’t immune, the #83 pulling into the pits with smoke billowing from the brakes before being diagnosed with a terminal hybrid system issue. Ultimately, it looked like a repeat of last year’s finale, as the remaining #50 and #51 Ferraris took on the #7 and #8 Toyotas. However, a mistake by Pier Guidi in the #51 span the #8 Toyota around at Mulsanne corner, and the Italian was duly punished with a five second penalty. It looked like further advantage was handed to Toyota when Nielsen was forced to bring the #50 into the pits when the car’s right-hand door came loose. With fifty minutes to go, this off-sequence stop should have left the 499P requiring one final visit to the pits; but Ferrari were confident that the car could stretch its fuel load, a strategy that would come under deep scrutiny when the #7 Toyota came in for its final stop less than ten minutes later, knowing it would reach the end. Twenty minutes later, there was a growing realisation amongst the teams and fans that Ferrari had pulled off a masterstroke as Nielsen expertly managed his machine to the chequered flag, securing a second successive win for Ferrari by a margin of 14.221 seconds. Despite the late penalty, the #51 crossed the line to claim the final podium position, denying the pole-sitting #6 Porsche by a mere 1.167 seconds over the line. This success marked the Prancing Horse’s 11th overall victory in the classic French endurance race, adding to 29 class wins, for a total of 40 victories. By triumphing at the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Formula 1 GP, Ferrari was also the first manufacturer to climb to the top step of the podium in two of the world’s most prestigious races in the same year since 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42070615064658,"sku":"M6274-SC2","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6274-SC2photos_9.jpg?v=1776345627"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2025-le-mans-race-weathered","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2025 Le Mans Winner - Race Weathered","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 83 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe #83 Hypercar edition is based on the car driven to victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, measuring over 63 cms\/ 24 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel accompanied by an A1 archive quality Giclée print of the car cruising down the pit lane after its victory on track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering details precisely applied by artisans in Bristol using archival imagery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete with opening doors and engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 4000 hours to develop the base model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 450 hours to build and weather each model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\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 based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can unveil a new Race Weathered edition, celebrating the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning #83 car raced by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson on the 15th of June 2025.

The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model faithfully recreates the #83 Ferrari 499P Hypercar, driven to a historic victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 2025. The #83 AF Corse entry secured Ferrari’s third consecutive overall triumph at Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites, riding the momentum of three straight wins in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The #83 sat third in the standings behind the two factory Ferraris, eager to bounce back after a disappointing result at Spa-Francorchamps caused by turbo issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race began under clear skies, with the #83 joining a determined Ferrari charge to recover from mid-grid starting positions. The opening laps were frantic, with Hypercars fighting for every inch of track before traffic on lap seven escalated the intensity. By hour two, the #83 had battled past Alpine, Toyota, Cadillac, BMW, and Porsche rivals to climb into the top four behind the #50 Ferrari, the #6 Porsche, and the #51 Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after the four-hour mark, the #51 and #83 Ferraris muscled past the #6 Porsche, placing all three 499Ps in the fight for the lead. Kubica in the #83 received a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits but responded with a brilliant stint as night fell, propelling the #83 into the lead while the #50 was handed a drive-through penalty. In the hands of Yifei Ye and then Phil Hanson, the #83 executed longer stints than the factory cars, maintaining a slender advantage of under two seconds over the #51 by midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lock-up by Hanson allowed the #51 to reclaim the lead, but a series of incidents soon struck the red car, dropping it to eighth and out of the immediate battle for victory. The lead shifted between the #6 Porsche, #8 Toyota, and the yellow-liveried #83 Ferrari as pit strategies and changing conditions played out. After a slow pit stop by Porsche, Ye overtook the #8 Toyota to return the #83 to the front, with the factory Ferraris close behind. Immediately after a yellow flag period, the #51 surged past the #83 and built a 30-second lead, but a spin heading into the pits cost it nearly a minute and handed the advantage back to the #83, still closely pursued by the #50 and the #6 Porsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 24 hours of relentless racing, the #83 Ferrari 499P held firm to cross the line first, thanks to a superb final four-hour stint by Robert Kubica. Completing 374 laps, the #83 secured Ferrari’s twelfth overall victory at Le Mans — the first outright win for a privateer Ferrari since 1965 — and ensured Ferrari would retain permanent possession of the winners’ trophy, awarded to manufacturers achieving three consecutive victories. The triumph also marked historic firsts: Robert Kubica became the first Polish driver to win Le Mans; Yifei Ye, the first Chinese driver; and Phil Hanson celebrated his maiden victory at La Sarthe, becoming the 35th British driver — and the third to do so with Ferrari — to triumph at the legendary race. For Kubica and Ye, the win was especially poignant, coming after their heartbreak of losing an LMP2 class victory on the final lap in 2021. For Kubica, the result completed an emotional journey, following the rally accident in 2011 that denied him the chance to race in Formula 1 with Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2025 Le Mans winning Race Weathered Ferrari 499P is limited to just 83 pieces at 1:8 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42070615162962,"sku":"M6270-SC8-RWV","price":20995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6270-SC8-Front3.4.jpg?v=1764088859"},{"product_id":"mclaren-mcl39-2025-britain","title":"McLaren MCL39 - 2025 British Grand Prix","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 99 pieces per driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs raced to a 1-2 victory by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix on the 6\u003cspan\u003eth of July 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 70cm\/27 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 2500 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 250 hours to build 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 and paint codes supplied by McLaren Racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first McLaren to win both the World Drivers' Championship and World Constructors' Championship in the same season since the Adrian Newey-designed MP4\/13 of 1998, the MCL39 sought to build on the successful foundation of the previous year’s Constructors’ Championship winning MCL38. In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the MCL39 secured the Constructors’ title in joint-record time at the Singapore Grand Prix, with six races remaining in the season. Lando Norris secured his maiden Drivers' Championship at the final race of the season, becoming the first McLaren driver since 2008 to earn the honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Evolution of a Champion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the MCL39 was an evolution of the MCL38, which had been consistently among the quickest cars of the 2024 season, it incorporated substantial technical advancements to maintain McLaren’s competitive edge. Radiators were repositioned further up and backwards, and the car retained the front pull-rod and rear push-rod suspension layout, now enhanced with increased anti-dive measures to improve ride-height control. Other notable changes included redesigned sidepod inlets, revised engine cover bodywork, and a new, wider airbox inlet. Every component was optimised for maximum performance, and McLaren continued to introduce upgrades throughout the season, reinforcing the car’s adaptability and speed across all circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Season Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MCL39 proved immensely reliable and consistently competitive in the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri throughout a full calendar of challenging circuits. Norris claimed the season-opening win in Australia to seize the early initiative in the title battle, but Piastri responded with four victories across the next five rounds - in China, where he led home a McLaren 1-2, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, securing a second 1-2 finish - to take the lead in the standings himself. Norris then returned to winning form in Monaco, while Piastri triumphed in Spain, as the duo continued to tussle closely for the championship advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanada proved a flashpoint, as the pair collided on the main straight. Piastri managed to continue, while Norris, taking full responsibility for the incident, retired with terminal damage - McLaren’s first retirement of the season. The team bounced back with four consecutive 1-2 finishes: Norris led home in Austria, Britain, and Hungary, while Piastri claimed victory in Belgium. The Australian added another win in the Netherlands, though Norris suffered the team’s only mechanical retirement of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the latter part of the year, title rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull hit top form, winning six of the remaining nine races. Piastri’s own performances dipped slightly, starting with a crash in Azerbaijan - where Norris finished seventh - followed by four races without a podium. Despite this, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore with six races remaining. Norris and Verstappen closed the gap on Piastri in the Drivers’ standings, with Norris overtaking his teammate in Mexico and extending his advantage in Brazil. A setup error led to both McLarens being disqualified in Las Vegas due to a technical regulations breach, leaving Verstappen level on points with Piastri and just two races behind Norris. In the closing rounds, Verstappen won in Qatar ahead of Piastri, while Norris finished fourth, setting up a three-driver showdown at Abu Dhabi. Verstappen won again in the finale, beating Piastri, but Norris claimed the final podium position and secured his maiden Drivers’ Championship by just two points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the McLaren MCL39 earned fourteen wins, twenty further podiums, thirteen pole positions and twelve fastest laps, scoring 833 points and securing McLaren a second successive World Constructors’ Championship and a first World Drivers’ Championship since 2008. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, the former winning the Drivers’ title with 423 points, whilst Piastri claimed third in the standings with 410 points respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBack at Home, Back in Chrome\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevealed ahead of McLaren’s home race at a McLaren Racing Live event in London’s Trafalgar Square, the MCL39 ran a special chrome livery for the 2025 British Grand Prix. The design paid tribute to one of the most recognisable colour schemes in the team’s modern history, recalling the chrome-finished McLarens campaigned during the mid-2000s and early 2010s. Applied as a livery enhancement to both cars, the chrome elements were integrated alongside McLaren’s contemporary papaya identity, creating a striking visual link between past and present. The Silverstone appearance also marked a continuation of McLaren’s recent tradition of bespoke liveries for landmark events, celebrating the team’s heritage and sponsors while reinforcing its connection with fans at its home Grand Prix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 British Grand Prix Race Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models of the McLaren MCL39 replicate the cars raced to a 1-2 victory by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix at Silverstone on the 6th of July 2025. Lining up second and third on the grid behind polesitter Max Verstappen, the McLaren duo faced typically changeable British conditions, with intermittent rain leaving the circuit damp and gusty at the start. Verstappen initially led away, holding off Piastri through Abbey, but the Australian applied sustained pressure and seized the lead at Stowe on lap eight. As the rainfall intensified, Norris followed through when Verstappen ran wide, before the leading group pitted for fresh intermediate tyres. McLaren double-stacked their drivers, with Norris delayed fractionally, allowing Verstappen to regain second place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorsening conditions triggered a Safety Car intervention on lap 14, neutralising Piastri’s advantage. Although the race briefly returned to green flag running on lap 17, the Safety Car was deployed again just one lap later following Isack Hadjar’s heavy crash. At the subsequent restart on lap 21, Verstappen spun dramatically while attempting to keep pace, dropping him down the order. Piastri retained the lead but was later handed a ten-second time penalty for slowing excessively while preparing to lead the field away behind the Safety Car. Despite the setback, he continued to deliver strong pace at the front, with Norris running close behind as the circuit gradually transitioned from wet to drying conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decisive phase came as slick tyres became viable. Piastri pitted first on lap 44, serving his penalty during the stop, before Norris followed one lap later and rejoined comfortably ahead, inheriting the race lead. From there, Norris controlled the closing stages with composure, managing the crossover conditions to maintain a clear advantage. He crossed the line to claim his first victory on home soil, sparking celebrations among the Silverstone crowd and sealing the eighth win of his Formula One career. Piastri followed 6.812 seconds later to complete McLaren’s first British Grand Prix 1-2 finish since 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 99 pieces per driver at 1:8 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Lando Norris","offer_id":42086407045202,"sku":"M6362-SC3","price":8995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oscar Piastri","offer_id":42086407077970,"sku":"M6362-SC4","price":8995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6362-SC3photo_48.jpg?v=1768570826"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2023-le-mans-winner-race-weathered","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2023 Le Mans Winner - Race Weathered","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the #51 Hypercar as raced by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale model, over 28 cms\/11 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel accompanied by an A2 archive quality Giclée print of the car cruising down the pit lane after its victory on track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering details precisely applied by artisans in Bristol using archival imagery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 800 hours to develop the model\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\u003ePrecisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can unveil a new Race Weathered edition at 1:18 scale, celebrating the 2023 Le Mans winning #51 car driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi.

Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology.

For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 10th and 11th of June 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model of the Ferrari 499P is a perfect 1:18 scale recreation of the #51 Hypercar that was raced to victory by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi in the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ferrari's victory marked a return to the elite class of WEC after 50 years and also coincided with the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Prior to the race, Ferrari had shown serious pace, having qualified no lower than fourth in the three races so far. However, they had so far been unable to convert that into a victory, as reigning WEC Champions Toyota continued to show their own strength. During the initial one-hour qualifying session, the Ferrari #50 of Antonio Fuoco set the pace, with Pier Guidi’s sister #51 Ferrari in second. The team installed fresh tyres for Hyperpole, expecting a reaction from their rivals. Instead, the Ferraris were even stronger, with Fuoco breaking the Hypercar class record with a lap of 3:22.982 with eight minutes left, despite a LMGTE Am Kessel Ferrari slowing him into the left-hand Indianapolis corner and Arnage turn. Pier Guidi qualified the #51 in second and held pole until Fuoco’s lap. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973, and the 1-2 put them in prime position for the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100th Anniversary of the world’s greatest endurance race certainly lived up to expectations. The first twelve hours of the race saw the lead change hands numerous times, with Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche and Peugeot all leading at various points, the opening stages affected by two heavy rain showers and long safety car periods. A spate of accidents and race incidents affected all competitors with differing consequences; the #7 Toyota retired after a crash, whilst a recovery was required for the #51 Ferrari as Pier Guidi lost control avoiding two cars that had already collided. The #50 car required six laps in the pits overnight due to a radiator leak inflicted by a flying stone, effectively ending its challenge for the race win. By morning, the race had turned into a tense duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota, as a slow pit stop for the 499P, following the need for a full system reset, left the cars only seconds apart with six hours to go. The rivals traded lap times before the decisive moment: Ryo Hirakawa locked the rears and his Toyota hit the barrier at Arnage, necessitating repairs and creating, as it turned out, crucial breathing room as the #51 required another system restart just twenty minutes from the end. But finish it did, amassing 342 laps over the 24 hours. Although the pole-sitting #50 car had to settle for fifth place, both 499Ps completed a victory lap in formation, taking in applause from the fans and waved home by the marshals. Per tradition, the church bells rang in Maranello, the historic home of Ferrari’s headquarters, to signal the #51 499P Hypercar’s victory at Le Mans. This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Race Weathered 2023 Le Mans winning Ferrari 499P is limited to 100 pieces at 1:18 scale. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not any feature moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHandling Race Weathered Models\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling.

In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the MCL39 secured the Constructors’ title in joint-record time at the Singapore Grand Prix, with six races remaining in the season. Lando Norris secured his maiden Drivers' Championship at the final race of the season, becoming the first McLaren driver since 2008 to earn the honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Evolution of a Champion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the MCL39 was an evolution of the MCL38, which had been consistently among the quickest cars of the 2024 season, it incorporated substantial technical advancements to maintain McLaren’s competitive edge. Radiators were repositioned further up and backwards, and the car retained the front pull-rod and rear push-rod suspension layout, now enhanced with increased anti-dive measures to improve ride-height control. Other notable changes included redesigned sidepod inlets, revised engine cover bodywork, and a new, wider airbox inlet. Every component was optimised for maximum performance, and McLaren continued to introduce upgrades throughout the season, reinforcing the car’s adaptability and speed across all circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubtle Changes to a Winning Livery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the F1 75 launch event on 18 February 2025 at London’s O2 Arena, the MCL39’s livery remained largely consistent with 2024, preserving McLaren’s iconic papaya colour palette accented with anthracite and a hint of teal. Subtle updates included refreshed driver numbers and a new race seat, while elements from the geometric camouflage design shown on pre-season filming day were incorporated into the driver race suits. A diagonal cut-through integrated anthracite into the papaya aesthetic, maintaining visual continuity with the team’s Championship-winning heritage while giving the MCL39 a distinct 2025 identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Season Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MCL39 proved immensely reliable and consistently competitive in the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri throughout a full calendar of challenging circuits. Norris claimed the season-opening win in Australia to seize the early initiative in the title battle, but Piastri responded with four victories across the next five rounds - in China, where he led home a McLaren 1-2, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, securing a second 1-2 finish - to take the lead in the standings himself. Norris then returned to winning form in Monaco, while Piastri triumphed in Spain, as the duo continued to tussle closely for the championship advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanada proved a flashpoint, as the pair collided on the main straight. Piastri managed to continue, while Norris, taking full responsibility for the incident, retired with terminal damage - McLaren’s first retirement of the season. The team bounced back with four consecutive 1-2 finishes: Norris led home in Austria, Britain, and Hungary, while Piastri claimed victory in Belgium. The Australian added another win in the Netherlands, though Norris suffered the team’s only mechanical retirement of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the latter part of the year, title rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull hit top form, winning six of the remaining nine races. Piastri’s own performances dipped slightly, starting with a crash in Azerbaijan - where Norris finished seventh - followed by four races without a podium. Despite this, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore with six races remaining. Norris and Verstappen closed the gap on Piastri in the Drivers’ standings, with Norris overtaking his teammate in Mexico and extending his advantage in Brazil. A setup error led to both McLarens being disqualified in Las Vegas due to a technical regulations breach, leaving Verstappen level on points with Piastri and just two races behind Norris. In the closing rounds, Verstappen won in Qatar ahead of Piastri, while Norris finished fourth, setting up a three-driver showdown at Abu Dhabi. Verstappen won again in the finale, beating Piastri, but Norris claimed the final podium position and secured his maiden Drivers’ Championship by just two points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the McLaren MCL39 earned fourteen wins, twenty further podiums, thirteen pole positions and twelve fastest laps, scoring 833 points and securing McLaren a second successive World Constructors’ Championship and a first World Drivers’ Championship since 2008. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, the former winning the Drivers’ title with 423 points, whilst Piastri claimed third in the standings with 410 points respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Australian Grand Prix Race Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine race weathered model of the McLaren MCL39 precisely replicates the #4 car raced to victory by Lando Norris in the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit on the 16th of March 2025. Norris converted his pole position into a commanding performance in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, a race defined by changing weather, multiple Safety Cars, and late-race showers. After an aborted start caused by Isack Hadjar spinning on the formation lap, Norris got away cleanly to maintain the lead into Turn 1, fending off challenges from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. A Safety Car was deployed almost immediately when Jack Doohan crashed his Alpine, and at the subsequent restart, Norris pulled away from Verstappen, who himself eventually ran wide allowing Piastri to reclaim second. By Lap 25, Norris’ lead over Piastri stood at just under two seconds, while Verstappen was already around ten seconds behind. After navigating backmarker traffic, the McLarens were free to race, though Piastri soon ran wide at Turn 6 and dropped three seconds. Further drama unfolded on lap 34 when Fernando Alonso crashed heavily, prompting another Safety Car and a flurry of pit stops. At the end of Lap 41, Norris managed the restart perfectly to retain his lead over Piastri and Verstappen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the race entered its closing stages, late rainfall on lap 44 caused both McLarens to briefly leave the track and over the grass at Turn 12. Norris remained unscathed and immediately pitted for intermediates, Piastri agonisingly ending up rearwards in the Turn 13 run-off. Verstappen stayed out for two more laps before also switching to inters, creating renewed pressure for the leader. A final Safety Car period, prompted by accidents for Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, regrouped the field for a tense final battle to the flag. Norris expertly held position through the restart, fending off Verstappen’s late charge. In the final laps, Norris maintained composure and crossed the line to claim his fifth career victory, marking McLaren’s first Australian Grand Prix win since 2012. Piastri mounted a late recovery to finish ninth, overtaking Lewis Hamilton. Norris and McLaren had delivered a commanding start to the 2025 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 39 race weathered pieces at 1:18 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42278147031122,"sku":"M6361-SC1-RWV","price":1715.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/McLarenF11.18Scale-Weathered-Front3.4.jpg?v=1770410810"},{"product_id":"ferrari-sf-25-2025-italian-grand-prix-hamilton-1-18","title":"Ferrari SF-25 - 2025 Italian Grand Prix - Lewis Hamilton","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the car raced by Lewis Hamilton in the Formula 1 Pirelli Grand Premio d’Italia at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on the 7th of September 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a special livery celebrating the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s first world championship win\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:18 scale model, over 31cm\/12in long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 800 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs and paint codes supplied by Scuderia Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScuderia Ferrari HP’s competitor for the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship season, the SF-25 sought to build on the platform of its predecessor, the multiple race-winning SF-24. With Charles Leclerc entering his seventh season with the team and the highly publicised arrival of Lewis Hamilton, who made global headlines by leaving Mercedes after 11 years to move to Maranello, the SF-25 pushed to better Ferrari's performance in 2024, where they finished just 14 points beyond eventual title winners McLaren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Developments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the F1 75 launch event on the 18th of February at London’s O2 Arena, the SF-25 was the 71st Formula 1 car built by Ferrari. Although it was the fourth of the second generation of ground effect cars introduced in 2022, it represented a complete redesign, utilising distinct technical solutions to those adopted in the past. The most visible change initiated was the transition from a pushrod to a pull-rod front suspension. This architectural shift aimed to enhance airflow around the car and provide greater opportunities for aerodynamic development, which had been largely exhausted in the previous model. The SF-25 was an evolution in every aspect compared to previous year's car, offering a solid foundation for improvement. It was designed to maximise development potential in a season where, due to the stability of the regulations entering their final year, remarkably close competition was expected, with just thousandths of a second separating lap times. While the power unit did not introduce any groundbreaking innovations, it was further optimised to extract maximum performance. Ensuring reliability remained an ongoing effort; over the winter, despite reduced permitted hours of test bench running, significant work was done to analyse and refine each process based on lessons learned from the 2024 season, ensuring robustness across all components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Special Livery for Monza\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:18 scale models are of the Ferrari SF-25 as raced by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in the Formula 1 Pirelli Grand Premio d’Italia at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on the 7th of September 2025. The SF-25’s special Monza livery paid homage to the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s first World Championship in 1975, echoing the iconic look of his Ferrari 312 T. Wrapped using an advanced lightweight, heat-resistant recyclable film developed with HP, the car adopted the deeper period-correct red of the era, complemented by classic white longitudinal striping and cursive driver name scripts. Black race numbers set within white rectangles further evoked the original aesthetic, while a metallic silver rear wing recalled the aluminium components of 1970s Formula 1. Completing the tribute, the engine cover was finished in crisp white and the wheels featured designs inspired by the distinctive rims of the time, creating a vivid and respectful link between Ferrari’s illustrious past and the SF-25. Lauda’s success kickstarted a new era of success that would see the Scuderia celebrate four Constructors’ and three Drivers’ Championships in five seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Italian Grand Prix Race Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeclerc and Hamilton qualified fourth and fifth in a strong showing at Monza, though Hamilton would start tenth after a five-place grid penalty from the Dutch Grand Prix. Both Ferraris launched well, with Leclerc passing Oscar Piastri through Turns 1 and 2, before the McLaren reclaimed the position at the Lesmo curves. Hamilton moved forward too, overtaking Yuki Tsunoda and Kimi Antonelli in their Red Bull and Mercedes. On lap two, as Piastri unsuccessfully challenged Max Verstappen, Leclerc capitalised on Piastri’s compromised exit to pass around the outside at Curva Grande. Hamilton continued his climb on lap five by overtaking Fernando Alonso at Turn 1, then gained another spot a lap later by passing Gabriel Bortoleto’s Sauber to move into sixth. Piastri would eventually battle back to reclaim third from Leclerc, but with tyre wear lower than expected, pit stops were delayed and the order remained static to the flag.

Ensuring reliability remained an ongoing effort; over the winter, despite reduced permitted hours of test bench running, significant work was done to analyse and refine each process based on lessons learned from the 2024 season, ensuring robustness across all components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Special Livery for Monza\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:18 scale models are of the Ferrari SF-25 as raced by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in the Formula 1 Pirelli Grand Premio d’Italia at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza on the 7th of September 2025. The SF-25’s special Monza livery paid homage to the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s first World Championship in 1975, echoing the iconic look of his Ferrari 312 T. Wrapped using an advanced lightweight, heat-resistant recyclable film developed with HP, the car adopted the deeper period-correct red of the era, complemented by classic white longitudinal striping and cursive driver name scripts. Black race numbers set within white rectangles further evoked the original aesthetic, while a metallic silver rear wing recalled the aluminium components of 1970s Formula 1. Completing the tribute, the engine cover was finished in crisp white and the wheels featured designs inspired by the distinctive rims of the time, creating a vivid and respectful link between Ferrari’s illustrious past and the SF-25. Lauda’s success kickstarted a new era of success that would see the Scuderia celebrate four Constructors’ and three Drivers’ Championships in five seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Italian Grand Prix Race Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeclerc and Hamilton qualified fourth and fifth in a strong showing at Monza, though Hamilton would start tenth after a five-place grid penalty from the Dutch Grand Prix. Both Ferraris launched well, with Leclerc passing Oscar Piastri through Turns 1 and 2, before the McLaren reclaimed the position at the Lesmo curves. Hamilton moved forward too, overtaking Yuki Tsunoda and Kimi Antonelli in their Red Bull and Mercedes. On lap two, as Piastri unsuccessfully challenged Max Verstappen, Leclerc capitalised on Piastri’s compromised exit to pass around the outside at Curva Grande. Hamilton continued his climb on lap five by overtaking Fernando Alonso at Turn 1, then gained another spot a lap later by passing Gabriel Bortoleto’s Sauber to move into sixth. Piastri would eventually battle back to reclaim third from Leclerc, but with tyre wear lower than expected, pit stops were delayed and the order remained static to the flag. Leclerc finished fourth, ahead of George Russell’s Mercedes, with Hamilton securing sixth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42280645066834,"sku":"M6359-SC3","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M6359-SC3photo_52.jpg?v=1770377113"},{"product_id":"ferrari-499p-2025-le-mans-winner-weathered-1-5-scale","title":"Ferrari 499P - 2025 Le Mans Winner - Race Weathered","description":"\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 83 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe #83 Hypercar edition is based on the car driven to victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering details precisely applied by artisans in Bristol using archival imagery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:5 scale model, over 100 cms\/40 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts\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 4000 hours to develop the base model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 450 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 based on scans of a real car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal paint codes and material specifications supplied by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe’re delighted to introduce the most recent in our ever-expanding series of Race Weathered models: the Ferrari 499P, as raced to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025. This special edition of just 83 models will be meticulously hand-painted and detailed by our master model makers to show every detail of the race dirt as the car as the car was driven to victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 15th of June. Models will be weathered to order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car that returned Scuderia Ferrari to the pinnacle of sportscar racing, the 499P represents the marque’s first venture into the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and has since carried Ferrari to three consecutive victories at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Introduced for the 2023 season, the 499P marked Ferrari’s first appearance in the top tier of endurance racing in half a century. Its strength in competition culminated in 2025 with the capture of both the Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship and the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinning DNA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the car is undeniably designed to lead Ferrari into the future, the 499P moniker evokes the history of the Maranello manufacturer, a naming system dating back to its previous Le Mans entries; the 499 refers to the unitary displacement of its engine, while the P stands for Prototype. The Hypercar also sports a livery in the same colours as the 312P from 1973 as a nod to Ferrari's last involvement in endurance racing half a century ago, recalling a long association with a competition core to the DNA of the Ferrari brand. The cars’ race numbers were decided for similar reasons – the number 50 highlighting the length of time that Ferrari had been absent from the top class at Le Mans, and the number 51 has adorned a winning Ferrari GT car on four occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Hybrid Power and Innovative Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn defining the 499P, Ferrari drew upon their vast resources of technical, professional and human excellence that epitomise the Maranello marque, entrusting the management to Attività Sportive GT, under the direction of Antonello Coletta and the technical supervision of Ferdinando Cannizzo, head of the department in charge of engineering and development of Sports and GT racing cars. The design, whilst restricted by aerodynamic and packaging requirements, remains unmistakably a Ferrari, unsurprisingly for a car purely designed and manufactured in Maranello, refined with the support of the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. The car’s technical and aerodynamic features have been enhanced by means of simple, sinuous shapes: an explicit expression of Ferrari’s DNA. The balance between tense lines and flowing surfaces, expressed in a futuristic, pure and iconic language, defines a clear yet essential architecture. Sculpted bodywork encourages aerodynamic flows through the side pods, cooling the radiators concealed beneath. The wheel arches are characterised by large louvres and, together with the headlight clusters, imbue the nose with a sense of character and expressiveness, with subtle references to the styling traits first introduced on the Ferrari Daytona SP3. The rear is the ultimate expression of how to blend technology, aerodynamics and design; a subtle carbon-fibre skin covers the various functions, leaving the wheels and suspension completely visible. The tail is characterised by a double horizontal wing; the main wing and upper flaps have been meticulously designed to guarantee the necessary downforce and achieve maximum performance. The lower wing also features a ‘light bar’ that enriches the rear design with a decisive yet minimalist touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on an all-new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, the 499P features solutions that represent the cutting edge of motor sport technology. Double wishbone, push-rod-type suspension provides an outstanding damping stiffness, the benefits of which are felt on the straights as well as when cornering. The electronics systems are developed from and further innovate upon the experience honed in the world of GT racing. The Hypercar features a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-rear power unit with an electric motor powering the front axle, and is coupled to a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 used is the same engine used in the 296 GT3 and its road-going cousins, with a maximum power output of 500kW (680cv). Added here is an Energy Recovery System (ERS) that’s connected to the front axle, and fed by a brake-by-wire system. The ERS is good for 200 kW, and the battery that powers it uses know-how accrued from Ferrari’s vast F1 experience. Among the specific characteristics of the 499P's V6 is the fact that the engine is load-bearing and therefore performs a valuable structural function, compared to the versions fitted to competition GT cars, where the engine is mounted onto the car’s rear sub-chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompetition History\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 499P is managed on track by Maranello technicians and engineers with the collaboration of Racing Partner AF Corse, extending the long-successful partnership that began back in 2006. For the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, Ferrari GT racers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen took control of the #50 car, whilst two-time LMGTE Pro World Champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado were joined by Ferrari’s Formula 1 Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi behind the wheel of the #51 sister car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited debut of the 499P would come at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, with the #50 car establishing an early benchmark by securing pole position. However, despite leading off the line, the Ferrari would be overtaken by the two Toyota Gazoo Racing entries, eventually finishing third, claiming a podium on Ferrari’s return to Prototype endurance racing. Ultimately the 499P was often outpaced by the Toyotas, who secured the title for a fifth year in succession, but Ferrari remained ahead of the other manufacturers. After only once failing to secure a podium all season, Ferrari AF Corse were the only real challengers to the Japanese team, and both cars took the championship battle to the season finale in Bahrain. The highlight of the season though came at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans: the #50 again qualifying on Hyperpole, but it was the #51 car with Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi that would secure a victorious return to Circuit de la Sarthe after an intense and dramatic contest. The #50 crew would ultimately finish third in the Drivers’ Championship, with the #51 just six points behind in fourth position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2024 season, Ferrari AF Corse introduced a third 499P: the #83, raced by official Ferrari drivers Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman, and FIA WEC LMP2 champion and Formula 1 race winner Robert Kubica. It was at Le Mans again that the 499P would shine: this time, it was Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in the #50 who registered outright victory, claiming Ferrari’s eleventh success at the race. The #83 earned a victory at the Lone Star Le Mans in Texas, holding a charging Toyota back to win by just 1.780s, the second closest finish between rival manufacturers in WEC history. In an ever-increasingly competitive championship featuring nine separate manufacturers, the team remained in the fight for the title until the final race of the season, ultimately finishing behind Toyota and Porsche. The #50 crew finished second in the Drivers’ Championship, whilst the #51 and #83 crews were separated by just two points in eighth and ninth positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the #51 and #50 crews remained unchanged, while Phil Hanson replaced Robert Shwartzman in the #83 team. The season started perfectly in Qatar, with the #51 crew claiming the Hyperpole. They maintained control for the first few hours, until a string of penalties relegated them back into the pack, allowing the #50 and #83 Ferraris to battle for the lead. Ultimately, Fuoco produced a stellar stint to overhaul the privateer entry and claim victory for the #50. The #51 showed resilience, fighting back to claim the final podium place, marking Ferrari’s first top three lockout since the 1,000 Kilometres of Österreichring in 1972. In Imola, the #51 secured pole for a second straight race, with the #83 starting second. The #51 controlled the early stages but two disruptive safety car periods kept the fight for victory wide open into the latter stages. The #51’s decisive move came in the final 30 minutes as Pier Guidi pitted for fuel, saving crucial seconds and rejoining just ahead of their rivals from BMW and Alpine. He held firm to the finish, clinching victory in front of a passionate home crowd of Tifosi, and giving the #51 car its first WEC win since Le Mans in 2023. The #83 finished in fourth place. At Spa, after a dominant qualifying performance, the #50, #83, and #51 cars lined up as the front three on the grid. Despite fierce competition, especially from Alpine, the #51 and #50 achieved a 1-2 finish, securing Ferrari's third consecutive win of the season. Ferrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites following their recent successes, but results from qualifying were less than ideal: the #50, #51 and #83 started seventh, eleventh and thirteenth respectively. This time, it was the #83 that would prevail, earning Ferrari their third successive Le Mans victory with a third different car. Kubica became the first Polish driver to win at Le Mans, Ye the first Chinese racer, while Hanson would become the 35th British driver to achieve victory at La Sarthe. The #51 claimed third position, as only the #6 Porsche and a technical infringement for the #50 stopping the Scuderia from claiming all three spots of the podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari ultimately captured its first Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers' crown, underlined by a dominant lockout of the top three places in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers' Championship by Ferrari-powered crews. The #51 partnership of Calado, Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi secured the world title, chased home by the #83 and #50 teams. AF Corse’s triumph in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams completed a commanding sweep of Hypercar honours for Ferrari power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 14th and 15th of June 2025\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:5 scale model faithfully recreates the #83 Ferrari 499P Hypercar, driven to a historic victory by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 14th and 15th of June 2025. The #83 AF Corse entry secured Ferrari’s third consecutive overall triumph at Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari arrived at Le Mans as favourites, riding the momentum of three straight wins in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The #83 sat third in the standings behind the two factory Ferraris, eager to bounce back after a disappointing result at Spa-Francorchamps caused by turbo issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race began under clear skies, with the #83 joining a determined Ferrari charge to recover from mid-grid starting positions. The opening laps were frantic, with Hypercars fighting for every inch of track before traffic on lap seven escalated the intensity. By hour two, the #83 had battled past Alpine, Toyota, Cadillac, BMW, and Porsche rivals to climb into the top four behind the #50 Ferrari, the #6 Porsche, and the #51 Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after the four-hour mark, the #51 and #83 Ferraris muscled past the #6 Porsche, placing all three 499Ps in the fight for the lead. Kubica in the #83 received a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits but responded with a brilliant stint as night fell, propelling the #83 into the lead while the #50 was handed a drive-through penalty. In the hands of Yifei Ye and then Phil Hanson, the #83 executed longer stints than the factory cars, maintaining a slender advantage of under two seconds over the #51 by midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lock-up by Hanson allowed the #51 to reclaim the lead, but a series of incidents soon struck the red car, dropping it to eighth and out of the immediate battle for victory. The lead shifted between the #6 Porsche, #8 Toyota, and the yellow-liveried #83 Ferrari as pit strategies and changing conditions played out. After a slow pit stop by Porsche, Ye overtook the #8 Toyota to return the #83 to the front, with the factory Ferraris close behind. Immediately after a yellow flag period, the #51 surged past the #83 and built a 30-second lead, but a spin heading into the pits cost it nearly a minute and handed the advantage back to the #83, still closely pursued by the #50 and the #6 Porsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 24 hours of relentless racing, the #83 Ferrari 499P held firm to cross the line first, thanks to a superb final four-hour stint by Robert Kubica. Completing 374 laps, the #83 secured Ferrari’s twelfth overall victory at Le Mans — the first outright win for a privateer Ferrari since 1965 — and ensured Ferrari would retain permanent possession of the winners’ trophy, awarded to manufacturers achieving three consecutive victories. The triumph also marked historic firsts: Robert Kubica became the first Polish driver to win Le Mans; Yifei Ye, the first Chinese driver; and Phil Hanson celebrated his maiden victory at La Sarthe, becoming the 35th British driver — and the third to do so with Ferrari — to triumph at the legendary race. For Kubica and Ye, the win was especially poignant, coming after their heartbreak of losing an LMP2 class victory on the final lap in 2021. For Kubica, the result completed an emotional journey, following the rally accident in 2011 that denied him the chance to race in Formula 1 with Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 499P #83 car is limited to 83 pieces at 1:5 scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling Race Weathered Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling.
