The epitome of the spirit of racing in the glamorous 1930s era, with victories in Grand Prix racing, at Le Mans four years in succession, and in no less than seven editions of the Mille Miglia, its competition credentials are beyond reproach and, yet, only tell part of the 8C story. The chassis, available in both long chassis Lungo and short chassis Corto form, underpinned some of the finest and most elegant touring cars of its day, featuring timeless coachwork from contemporary Carrozzerie including Zagato, Touring, Castagna, and Brianza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis said, it is in its renowned ‘Monza’ form that the 8C is perhaps most admired. In 1931, Alfa Romeo added two additional cylinders to the 6C 1750, creating the 8C 2300, before preparing a stripped down, short-wheelbase version of the chassis—complete with tapered racing tail and full-length side exhaust—to be driven by Tazio Nuvolari and Giuseppe Campari in their home Grand Prix in Monza. A dominant victory in Alfa Romeo’s back yard would lead to the moniker by which it would forever be known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictories followed repeatedly for the Monza, including three consecutive Targa Florio wins (1931-1933), the domination of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for four uninterrupted years (1931-1934) and numerous Grand Prix successes across Europe, parading the fact that the 8C had become practically invincible. The 8C became inescapably linked with the legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari who won many competitions behind the wheel, including the 1931 Coppa Ciano, two instances of the Targa Florio (those 1931 and 1932 victories), the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1933 Mille Miglia to add to that prestigious Italian Grand Prix at Monza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8C enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and the 1932 variant no doubt benefited from an enlarged 2665cc version of the engine, fed through not one but two superchargers. In 1933, Alfa Romeo retired the Monza from works racing, but a brigade of successful privateers carried the 8C mantle. The supremacy of the 8C meant that it continued to perform well on track well into the middle of the decade and its undoubted character and style made it an icon of the age. It remains one of the most sought-after cars of all time; in 2016, a Monza sold at sold for just short of $12 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 as raced to victory by Tazio Nuvolari at the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix on the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of April 1932. It was the fourth running of the event, which had already gained international fame, and Alfa Romeo’s first appearance as a works team in Monaco, where they faced the teams from Bugatti and Maserati. Racing for the outfit from Portello, all in red Monzas, were the Italian trio of Nuvolari, Giuseppe Campari and Mario Umberto Borzacchini. There was a fourth car, a white Monza, for the German Rudolf Caracciola, who was not yet part of the official factory team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entry list was by invitation only and just 17 cars appeared on the grid, after two of the original 19 failed to start. Even though all the cars had been timed throughout practice, the order of the starting grid was still determined by ballot, Nuvolari being handed eleventh on the grid. The Italian started fantastically, passing seven cars within the first five laps, and settling into second position after ten laps. Despite Nuvolari's speed, he set a new fastest time of two minutes and four seconds on lap 12, he was unable to gain ground on the fast-starting Bugatti of Louis Chiron. The leading trio, including the Bugatti of Achille Varzi only five seconds behind the Alfa, began to pull away from the rest of the field, the followers matching the front-runner’s pace. After thirty laps, Nuvolari started to apply the pressure and gained ground on the leading Bugatti. Chiron rushed to pass one of the backmarkers and grazed the sandbags on the corner at the Quai de Plaisance, propelling the car into the air and turning it over, throwing Chiron into the road. Fortunately, Chiron was uninjured by the fall from his vehicle, except for some cuts and bruises, and recovered quickly, but this had wrecked Bugatti’s best chance for the win and handed the lead over to Alfa Romeo. It was a lead Nuvolari would not relinquish. Caracciola followed behind in the privateer Alfa Romeo, for the last forty laps, slowly closing the distance lap by lap, but declined to win when presented with the opportunity to overtake, as Nuvolari had almost dealt with the challenge of Bugatti singlehandedly and was now suffering from interruptions to his fuel supply. The duo crossed the line just 2.8 seconds apart. From the 17 cars at the start only ten finished after three and a half hours of racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Alfa Romeo 2300 8C is limited to only 199 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/pages\/bespoke-one-off-models\" title=\"Bespoke Models at Amalgam Collection\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDiscover more about our Bespoke Models \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition","offer_id":40249547456594,"sku":"M5544-NUV","price":19995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/DSCF3809.jpg?v=1701695491"},{"product_id":"aston-martin-db9-1-8","title":"Aston Martin DB9 (2003)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fine scale model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of the manufacturer regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of original CAD and supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the prototype model has undergone detailed scrutiny by the manufacturer’s engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249547522130,"sku":"M5023-GR","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/hero_b38d67e5-76f2-4034-bddc-5f8a4d74da13.jpg?v=1601648748"},{"product_id":"aston-martin-dbr9-le-mans-2006","title":"Aston Martin DBR9 - 2006 Le Mans LMGT1 Winner","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine 1:8 large-scale collector’s model of the Aston Martin DBR9 as raced at Le Mans in June 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Aston Martin Racing and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249547587666,"sku":"M5024-LE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/Amalgam-AstonMartin-DBR9-LM2006-007-1-8-HR-1.jpg?v=1601648754"},{"product_id":"audi-r8-2005-le-mans","title":"Audi R8 - 2005 Le Mans Winner","description":"\u003cli\u003eLimited to just 199 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the 2005 ADT Champion Racing No. 3 car and as raced to victory in 2005 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by Tom Kristensen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 58 cms\/22 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 2750 hours to develop the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 275 hours to build and weather each model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs, paint codes and material specifications provided by Audi AG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most successful Le Mans racers of all time, the Audi R8 Le Mans Prototype took victory in five of the six years it competed between 2000 and 2005, only losing out to the Bentley Speed 8 in 2003.

While it never won an endurance race, the Blower Bentley was the outright fastest race car of the day, born from a philosophy devised by Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin, notable racing driver and Bentley Boy, to extract more speed from the racing Bentleys of the day using a supercharger. Birkin then persuaded Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato to sanction production of 55 supercharged 4 ½ litre Bentleys, with five allocated for competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Blower Bentley is the most iconic pre-war Bentley and is coveted by collectors globally. For many, the 4 ½ litre is to automobiles what the Supermarine Spitfire is to aircraft, as much an icon as it is an engineering marvel. Examples are regularly auctioned for millions, whilst an example sold in 2012 fetched over $7,000,000. Counted amongst its fans was the author Ian Fleming, who later decided that his famous fictional secret agent James Bond would drive a supercharged 4 ½ litre Bentley in the novels Casino Royale, Live and Let Die and Moonraker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ‘Blower’ is born\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blower engine started life as the naturally aspirated 4 ½ litre engine, designed by WO Bentley himself. Like Bentley’s three litre before it, the 4 ½ litre brought together the latest individual engine technologies of the time – a single overhead camshaft, twin-spark ignition, four valves per cylinder and, of course, Bentley’s now legendary aluminium pistons. The racing version of WO’s 4 ½ litre engine developed approximately 130 bhp, but Birkin wanted more. WO’s focus was always on reliability and refinement ahead of absolute power, so his solution to finding more power was always to increase engine capacity. Birkin had a different plan: to supercharge the 4 ½, an idea that WO thought ‘corrupted’ his design, and he refused to allow any modifications to the engine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith funding from his wealthy financier Dorothy Paget, and the technical skills of Clive Gallop, Birkin commissioned supercharger specialist Amherst Villiers to create a supercharger for the 4 ½ litre. The Roots-type supercharger – colloquially known as a blower – was fitted ahead of the engine and radiator and driven directly from the crankshaft.

The ‘Blower Bentleys’ were therefore extremely fast but, as WO predicted, also somewhat fragile. Over the 12 races that the Blowers contested, a victory was never secured, but the Blowers played their part in Bentley history, including helping to secure victory for a naturally-aspirated Bentley Speed Six at Le Mans in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the cars were ultimately not for winning races, they were ones for breaking records and setting fastest laps, flying round the tracks of England and France. In 1930, the No. 9 Bentley Blower, driven by D.J. Benjafield and Eddie Hall, came 2nd in the BRDC 500 mile event, averaging 112.12 mph, and being awarded the coveted Brooklands 120 mph badge. Tim Birkin also set a lap record at Circuit de la Sarthe driving the No. 9 in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bentley Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSir Henry “Tim” Birkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDressed in a blue and white spotted silk scarf around his neck and sporting a neatly trimmed moustache, Sir Henry was every inch the British sporting hero. An ex-fighter pilot and baronet, he was driven by a passion for speed and famously persuaded the wealthy heiress Dorothy Paget to finance a team of 4 ½ litre Bentleys, known as the ‘Blowers’. Ultimately too fragile for endurance racing, the ‘Blowers’ were unbeatable in sprints with Birkin at the wheel, culminating in a speed record at Brooklands of 137.96mph in 1932. Birkin also celebrated two outright victories at Le Mans: his first in 1929 with Woolf Barnato behind the wheel of a Bentley Speed Six, and his second with Earl Howe piloting a Alfa Romeo 8C in 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean Chassagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvolved in automotive, aviation, and motorboat racing since 1906, Chassagne began as a riding mechanic before taking the wheel himself. At 47, he joined the ‘Bentley Boys,’ and any doubts about “Old Chassagne” being past his prime were swiftly dispelled at the 1929 Le Mans. There, the Frenchman ran three miles while carrying two pit jacks to retrieve his Bentley, which had suffered a rim collapse and had been abandoned at Arnage by teammate Birkin. His heroic effort secured a fifth-place finish for the duo and highlighted why he was held in the highest regard and affection by his peers. Meticulous, resilient, and amiable, Chassagne possessed a delicate driving touch to complement his loyal and unpretentious nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24 Hours of Le Mans, 21st and 22nd of June 1930\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the hands of Sir “Tim” Birkin and Jean Chassagne, the No. 9 was involved in an epic duel with the Mercedes-Benz SSK piloted by Rudolf Caracciola and Christian Werner. The SSK started strongly in the bright sunshine but, by the fourth lap, Birkin was on Caracciola’s tail at the Pontlieue curves. Accelerating to 195 km\/h, he passed the Mercedes as they braked heavily for the Mulsanne corner, continuing on to set a new lap record of 6 minutes 48 seconds. On the next lap, however, the tread came off a rear tyre and forced him to pit for a rapid wheel change. Birkin quickly rejoined the race and caught up with the Mercedes again, but as he passed Caracciola on the Mulsanne Straight, the other tyre failed. Despite dropping two wheels off the road, he completed the pass, only for the tyre to blow at Arnage, prompting another pit stop. By nightfall, after five separate tyre failures, Birkin and Chassagne were running seventh. However, their pressure on the Mercedes soon became clear, the SSK retiring at the halfway point with a flat battery after a wire had come loose on its dynamo. The second half of the race devolved into a routine procession, with early morning mist and rain dampening the excitement. Just before midday, four hours from the end of the race, the Blower broke a conrod and had to retire, leaving the victory to the Bentley works team Speed Six of Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston. Birkin’s fearless driving, especially his selfless harrying of Caracciola, is still celebrated as the embodiment of the Vintage Racing era, and is often credited as the key to Bentley’s success at the 1930 Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, Bentley revealed that the 1929 supercharged 4 ½ litre “Blower” would become the subject of the world’s first continuation of a pre-war race car, with 12 new models to be built to the exact specifications of the originals, one for each race the original Team Blowers competed in. These cars were individually handcrafted by Bentley’s bespoking and coachwork division Mulliner, blending traditional craftsmanship skills with the latest digital technology. Bentley’s own Blower, chassis number HB 3403, served as the template; it was disassembled and individual components were catalogued and meticulously scanned in 3D to create a complete digital model. Twelve sets of parts were then created using original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, and an array of traditional hand tools alongside the latest manufacturing technology, before Bentley’s skilled heritage technicians assembled the new Blowers. Identical mechanically, aesthetically and spiritually wherever possible to the original, the cars included minimal hidden modifications to pass modern safety tests. Like the original Blowers, the Continuation Series models were designed for racing and passed a rigorous inspection programme to qualify for an Historic Technical Passport, allowing them to compete at FIA-sanctioned events for historic vehicles. In 2023, Car Zero, the prototype continuation model, participated in the Le Mans Classic, marking the first Blower entry at Circuit de la Sarthe in 21 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is a perfect replica of the No. 9 Bentley 4½ litre which competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 21 and 22 June 1930.

Master-minded by Achim Anscheidt, every element of the Chiron was designed to be a combination of reminiscence to its history, taking its name from Bugatti racing legend Louis Chiron, and the most innovative technology. The result was a unique creation of enduring value, and breath-taking automotive accomplishment. Its sophisticated design, innovative technology, and iconic, performance-oriented form made it a unique masterpiece of art, shape and technique, pushing boundaries beyond imagination. The Chiron was an attempt to create something very different from contemporary engine manufacturers, such as Ferrari and McLaren with their leanings towards hybrid technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo reach its unprecedented levels of performance, the Chiron effortlessly merged its captivating beauty with sleek, muscular efficiency, creating a spectacular reinterpretation of the Bugatti design DNA. At the heart of the Chiron was its quad-turbocharged eight litre W16 engine. This unique masterpiece generated an incredible 1,578 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, with four high-performing turbochargers worked in a two-stage controlled configuration. A remarkable 60,000 litres of air were pumped through the engine every minute whilst, simultaneously, 800 litres of water per minute circulated through its core, guaranteeing the cooling of the engine to generate the extraordinary power. A new titanium exhaust system with reduced gas back pressure and lightweight materials, such as carbon fibre, maximised power and performance. The intelligent air intake management significantly improved aerodynamics and enhanced the cooling efficiency for engine and brakes., whilst the distinctive quad LED headlights also served as air intakes to the front brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chiron could power from a standstill to 62mph (100 km\/h) in 2.4 seconds, make 124 mph (200 km\/h) in 6.1 seconds, reach 186mph (300 km\/h) in 13.1 seconds and achieve 248.5 mph (400 km\/h) in 32.6 seconds. It also broke the 0–249–0 mph (0–400–0 km\/h) record time, completing it in a ridiculous 41.96 seconds in a span of 2 miles (3.2 kilometres). The Chiron also staggeringly became the first production vehicle to break the 300mph barrier when a pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype was driven at 304.77 mph (490.48 km\/h) at Volkswagen's test facility in Ehra-Lessien.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first engine model Amalgam has made since the early 2000s, this very highly detailed and meticulously finished example of the Chiron’s immense W16 engine echoes the same large 1:4 scale model previously made of the Ferrari 049 engine that powered the F1-2000.

The 1935 Aérolithe concept, on which the 57SC was based, used Elektron composite for its body panels. This meant the engineers needed to rivet the panels together externally as, although a durable and lightweight material, the alloy was extremely flammable when exposed to high temperatures. The production run of 57SC Atlantics possessed plain aluminium bodies though the dorsal seams were retained for style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlantic name was termed in honour of Jean Bugatti’s pilot friend, Jean Mermoz, who never returned from a South Atlantic aviation journey. The ‘S’ stood for ‘Surbaissé’ (‘Lowered’), which was a major undertaking in itself, and the ‘C’ for ‘Compresseur’, a supercharger that Bugatti introduced in response to customers seeking more horsepower. The iconic long bonnet hid a 197-horsepower 3.3-litre inline-8, which allowed the coupe to clock a top speed in excess of 125 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly four Type 57SCs were ever made, three of which were sold to customers. The first was sold to British banker Victor Rothschild, the third to Parisian businessman Jacques Holzschuh and the fourth car was sold to R.B. Pope of Britain. Tragically, Holzschuh’s Atlantic was involved in a fatal accident which completely destroyed the car. Decades later, the car underwent a painstaking restoration though the engine was unsalvageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the second car, the fabled ‘La Voiture Noire’ (The Black Car). Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use. At the outbreak of the Second World War, La Voiture Noire was sent to a safe region, as German troops invaded Alsace, and lost forever. Its last historical mention is on a list of cars that were to be sent to Rue Alfred Daney in Bordeaux in February 1941. Its disappearance more than 80 years ago remains the biggest mystery in Bugatti’s fabled history. Today, “La Voiture Noire” lives on as a myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create ‘La Voiture Noire’, we used our supremely accurate digital scanning on R.B. Pope’s model, kindly allowed by its current owner Ralph Lauren, and, with the cooperation of Bugatti's automotive historian Julius Kruta, developed this stunningly detailed and precise replica at scale.

In an era when the art of race car design was arguably superseded by the science, the Type 59 remained competitive despite its continued use of ‘old-fashioned’ mechanics.

The Type 59 remains Bugatti’s last successful Grand Prix racer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 59 is generally regarded as an artistic masterpiece: it still retained the heritage from the iconic and all-conquering Type 35, which Ettore Bugatti had designed a decade earlier, but in extending the wheelbase of the new chassis frame, he created a beautiful Grand Prix car with perfect proportions. Under the all-aluminium bodywork lived its straight-eight engine. The power unit was a new development, led by Ettore’s eldest son Jean, not only to power the Type 59 race car but the upcoming Type 57 grand tourer. In Grand Prix specification, it was fitted with twin camshafts, dry sump lubrication and a lightened crankshaft. At its debut the engine displaced 2.8 litres, which was soon supercharged to just under 3.3 litres, and a separate four-speed gearbox was fitted roughly midway between the engine and rear differential for optimal weight distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 59’s steel ladder frame chassis was nearly identical to that of its predecessor, the Type 54. Unusually the front and rear axles were constructed from two halves treaded together in the middle, adding some flexibility to the traditional solid axles. Ettore Bugatti favoured the two-seater Grand Prix concept, and the Type 59 was no exception, the driver was offset to right of the car’s centre, and his famed eye for design to exquisite detailing such as the superbly engineered piano-wire spoke wheels. This particular addition was supported by strong mechanics: an aluminium back-plate dealt with the torque from the drive and the braking, whilst the spokes themselves only supported radial loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLengthy delays meant that the Type 59 did not debut until late in the 1933 season and the car required modification to compete under the new ’750 kg’ regulations that would come into effect in 1934. The Bugatti was not particularly successful on the track but, although its rivals Auto Union, Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo had made significant innovations with independent suspension and hydraulic brakes, the Type 59 remained competitive, despite its continued use of solid axles and cable operated drum brakes. It won a single major Grand Prix, at Spa in 1934 and, even then, there were many mitigating factors. Bugatti’s German rivals Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union withdrew from the race beforehand (rumoured to be due to issues with Belgian customs authorities at the border) and issues plagued the other competitors, meaning only seven entries started the race, three of which were Type 59s. Bugatti’s remaining major adversary, Alfa Romeo flew into a commanding lead, before both of their entries retired, one due to a crash and the other as the result of a broken oil pipe, leaving the route clear for René Dreyfus and Antonio Brivio to claim a fantastic 1-2 victory for the French marque. The Type 59 did see some more success in minor Grand Prix though: Jean-Pierre Wimille claimed victories at Algiers in 1934 and Deauville in 1936 whilst, in 1935, Robert Benoist won in Picardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Type 59s are prized collector items and have estimated values in excess of £10 million. Just seven cars were built in Grand Prix configuration, of which four raced for the Bugatti works team and all have survived to this day. Current owners include Ralph Lauren and the industrial designer Marc Newson. One former Grand Prix chassis, converted to a sports car configuration back in the 1930s, sold at auction for £9.5 million in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is based on the car raced to fifth position by Tazio Nuvolari at the Monaco Grand Prix on the 2nd of April 1934 at Circuit de Monaco. Monaco was the first major race to be run with the new 750 kg weight limit and, whilst the Bugatti works team arrived with three cars, a fourth red Type 59 was on loan to Tazio Nuvolari. He entered as a private entrant, although he had full support from the team. Qualifying fifth, Nuvolari was passed off the line by the launching Alfa Romeo of Louis Chiron. After ten laps, Piero Taruffi managed to find a way past Nuvolari only to be immediately re-passed, and this fierce battle came to an abrupt end when the Maserati started to misfire. Coming up to half distance, Nuovlari was falling back from the leading pack and eventually was lapped by Chiron. Pit stops from the cars in front elevated Nuvolari as high as third after around 70 laps, but brake issues necessitated a lengthy stop of his own, dropping him to sixth position. With only a few laps remaining, Nuvolari regained his fifth position after Taruffi’s still misfiring Maserati retired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create the Type 59, we used our supremely accurate digital scanning on chassis 59122, kindly allowed by its current owner Ralph Lauren, and, with the cooperation of Bugatti, developed this stunningly detailed and precise replica at scale.

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

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

Built by Italian motor racing manufacturer, Dallara (and later Michelotto) to compete in the World Sports Car Championship during the 1994 season, the 333 SP was to join IMSA’s new WSC class. Dallara worked its magic by supplying the transmission and the suspension along with the aerodynamic development and bodywork. The engine and chassis were, however, developed solely by Ferrari in-house. The power unit was a modified version of the V12 engine used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car, which was duly enlarged to 4 litres, capable of producing 641 brake horsepower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 333 SP showed its potential in the second half of the 1994 season, debuting at Road Atlanta and taking the first and second place, along with further wins at Lime Rock and others.

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

Facing the threat of being unable to match the sophisticated new 8-cylinder Formula 1 designs from Mercedes-Benz and Lancia, nor even the 6-cylinder 250Fs from Maserati, Enzo Ferrari instead focused his attention upon perfecting a line of large capacity sportscars. The result would become known by the French racing community as 'Le Monstre' and by the British as 'The Fearsome Four-Nine'. The 375 Plus competed and was victorious at the most prestigious international races, earning Ferrari its first works victory at Le Mans and cementing itself into sportscar legend in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the 375 MM as a starting point, and the 375 Formula 1 car as inspiration, Aurelio Lampredi developed a truly powerful 4.9 litre V12 engine, rated at nearly 350 horsepower. The engine came with a single spark plug per cylinder configuration with twin magnets and was fed by three Weber-46 DCF\/3 carburettors. As a result, the 375 Plus was able to fire up to speeds of around 174mph (280km\/h), an incredible feat for a car produced in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinin Farina and Carrozzeria Vignale fashioned the aluminium body, which featured flush fenders and a pronounced trunk bulge to accommodate the car’s spare tire and long-distance 190 litre (47.6 gallon) fuel tank. The 375 Plus’s new, strengthened chassis was made from steel tubes and, though it retained the same front suspension as its predecessors, the rear suspension came with a new de Dion axle, twin radius arms with transverse leaf springs and Houdaille shock absorbers. The 375 Plus’s new setup offered improved stability, balance and road handling at higher speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 375 Plus took a stunning win in its debut race at Agadir, Morocco, in the hands of Giuseppe ‘Nino’ Farina in February 1954. Though the same driver and car would retire from the following week’s Dakar GP, they set a record fastest lap before doing so. In April, Umberto Maglioli and Nino Cassani ran a single 375 Plus in the Giro di Sicilia and, after just four hours of racing, held a three-and-a-half-minute lead, before the usually reliable Maglioli overturned the car, ending any hopes of victory. Ferrari entered four cars into the Mille Miglia in May, though sadly no car reached the chequered flag. Maglioli came the closest to victory as he chased down the leading Lancia of Alberto Ascari, before a single split pin fell out, causing the gearbox to stop functioning. This disappointment would only fuel Ferrari as, two weeks later, José Froilán González earned a dominant triumph in the Formula 1-supporting sports car race at Silverstone, leading virtually from start to finish and sensationally lapping the last-placed of the 27 starters three times. The 1954 Le Mans 24-Hour race followed. González, now partnered with Maurice Trintignant, emerged victorious in a heavily weather-affected race. It was a thriller duel with the Jaguar D-Type of Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt right to the end, producing the closest finish at Circuit de la Sarthe since 1933: less than 5km (just half a lap). Ultimately, it was Ferrari who would win sports car racing’s most prestigious prize for the second time. The fearsome 'Four-Nines' would not be run again by the Ferrari factory, but a series of entries came from Mexico and the United States for the five-day Carrera Panamericana in Mexico. Maglioli took a dominating victory, 25 minutes ahead of a 375 MM and nearly two hours ahead of a Porsche in third position, ensuring maximum points in the World Sportscar Championship for the Italian marque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust five examples were constructed by Ferrari, chassis numbers 0384, 0386, 0392, 0396 and 0398 all with the AM (America) suffix, making the 375 Plus far less common than the revered Ferrari 250 GTO.

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

To obtain type-approval for the model, 25 units had to be built, and Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of his company to Fiat to finance the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car was built around a tubular light-alloy semi-monocoque frame, derived from the P4 and the 612 CAN AM, with a mid-mounted 4993 cc V12 engine, with four valves per cylinder, capable of delivering 550 hp initially, with a maximum speed of 340 km\/h. The bodywork, designed by engineer Giacomo Caliri, was constructed from fibreglass and designed to be as light as possible. The 512 S was built both with a closed cockpit and in an open top, and a special long-tail aerodynamic body was created for its races at Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 512 S made its debut in the 1970 Daytona race, taking third place with Mario Andretti, Arturo Merzario and Jacky Ickx behind the wheel. The car scored its first win at the following race, the 12 Hours of Sebring, with Ignazio Giunti, Nino Vaccarella and Andretti driving the closed version of the 512 S, defeating the Porsche 908 of Peter Revson and Steve McQueen. Throughout the rest of the season, the duel continued between Ferrari and the Porsche, who raced primarily with their 917K prototype, with Porsche usually emerging the victor. Chris Amon and Merzario finished fifth in the 1000km of Brands Hatch, while in the 1000 km of Monza, 512 S cars claimed second, third and fourth places. Vaccarella and Giunti fought their way onto the third step of the podium in the Targa Florio and claimed fourth at the 1000 km of Spa. Ickx and John Surtees also claimed second position at Spa, before succeeding in another podium at the 1000km Nürburgring. Andretti and Giunti took third place with Ickx and Peter Schetty fifth at the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. Throughout the year, several private teams did score several successes in other competitions, such as Georg Loos and Helmut Kelleners at the 500 km of Zolder in Belgium and Gianpiero Moretti at the 200 Miles of Fuji in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modified version of the 512 S, called the 512 M, made its debut in the wake of Ferrari’s poor showing at Le Mans, where cars could only claim fourth and fifth. This car, with greater power and more advanced aerodynamics than the 512 S gave Ickx\/Giunti a win in the 9 Hours of Kyalami. However, Enzo Ferrari did not have the patience to continue developing this model and relegated the 512 M for use by private teams only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 1971 season, Ferrari switched their attentions back to three litre sports models and would soon dedicate itself to Formula 1 racing for the next two decades. Both the 512 S and the 512 M continued to achieve good results in the hands of the privateers, with the NART team’s 512 S and the Penske team’s blue 512 M finishing in second and third place in Daytona. Merzario won the 300 km of Imola in the only official works appearance of the 512 M in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 512 Spider as raced in the 12 Hours of Sebring by Mario Andretti and Arturo Merzario at Sebring International Raceway on the 21st of March 1970. Considered by many to be the most memorable 12 Hours of Sebring ever held, this 12th edition of 1970 proved to be drama-filled to the last. Porsche had emerged victorious at Daytona just seven weeks prior, but Andretti qualified the #19 car on pole position, giving Ferrari a small but early advantage. Two other works Ferraris entered, #21 of Ignazio Giunti and Nino Vaccarella and the #20 of Jacky Ickx and Peter Schetty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a rolling start, a first for Sebring, Andretti held onto the position until the first round of pits stops and drive changes. Porsche’s four 917K entries started to experience problems, one with electrical issues, another with a puncture. Another entry retired with irreparable suspension damage, leaving all three works Ferraris with the lead as the sun set. Fortunes changed switched during the night, the #20 Ferrari suffered from a blown head gasket, retiring after 151 laps, and problems were plaguing the #21 car which necessitated a long pit stop. Then, Andretti brought the leading #19 car into the pits with gearbox issues. Though Merzario returned the car to the track in the lead, the #15 Porsche 917K of Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert was gaining rapidly. The strain on the mechanics started to show, and the #19 quickly returning to the pits again, this time not to return. Porsche was on course for another 1-2 victory, with the 917K leading the way and the Solar Productions\/Gulf sponsored #48 Porsche 908\/02 of movie star and racer Steve McQueen, who was racing with his leg in a cast, and Peter Revson in second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith half an hour remaining, one car still running and desperate for an overall victory, Ferrari team manager gambled, calling in Giunti in the #21 car and replacing him with the faster and more experienced Andretti. Starting a lap down, Andretti was fantastic, unlapping himself quickly and piling the pressure on the Porsches ahead. Suddenly, the leading Porsche came into the pits with a front hub failure, ultimately retiring just four laps from the end of the race, promoting McQueen and Revson’s 908 into first position. Andretti promptly overtook Revson, but returned to the pits once more, this time for a fuel stop, giving the lead back to the Porsche. With just one lap to go, Andretti stormed back onto the track and chased down his rival, finishing the 248\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and final lap just 22 seconds ahead after twelve hours of competitive racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari 512 S is limited to just 199 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249558892626,"sku":"M5635","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/Ferrari_512S_-_M5635-00001.jpg?v=1601651180"},{"product_id":"ferrari-dino-246-gts","title":"Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (1972)","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered to be one of the most beautiful road-going Ferraris ever created, the Dino 246 GTS was the targa-topped cousin of the 246 GT, itself the more powerful successor to the 206 GT. It was a delight from all angles and its combination of beauty, handling, V6 engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it irresistible. Enzo envisaged the Dino to be a rival to Porsche’s new 911 and it was a real statement from the Italian marque in terms of concept and design, after only building front-engined V12 sports cars previously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Dino 206 GT was introduced in 1967 with a two litre V6 engine, before being replaced in 1969 with a more powerful version bearing a 2.4 litre V6 in the Dino 246. With 195 hp, the 246 was sprightly and its rear mid-engine configuration provided it with light steering and terrific balance. Visually the 246 GT was almost identical to the 206 GT that it succeeded, though the engine block material was changed from aluminium to cast iron and the wheelbase was extended by 60mm. By 1972, with the sales of the Dino 246 GT stable, Ferrari looked to increase its popularity still further by introducing an open version. The styling retained the individual, attractive lines of the 264 GT, with the added advantage of a practical targa top for open-air driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voluptuous bodywork of the Dino was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dino has the distinction of being one of the few Ferraris not to carry a Prancing Horse badge: the sub-brand was created to offer relatively low-cost sports car with engines smaller than 12 cylinders. It was named in honour of Enzo’s late son Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari, who was credited with design for the original V6 engine used in the Formula 2 cars. Alfredino’s signature forms the basis of the Dino badge. More than 3,700 were produced in both GT berlinetta and GTS spider configurations, a testament to its widespread appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fine 1:8 scale models have been handcrafted utilising our own CAD data created by scanning an original car in every detail.

Driven by Nigel Mansell and newly signed reigning World Champion Alain Prost, the F1-90 came close to landing Ferrari their first Championship title for seven years and played a key role in the year’s bitter Prost\/Ferrari-Senna\/McLaren rivalry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-90 was originally the brainchild of Englishman John Barnard, whom Enzo Ferrari was so keen to employ from arch-rivals McLaren that the Scuderia agreed to let him set up the Ferrari Guildford Technical Office, rather than move to Maranello in 1987. However, Barnard quit Ferrari after the 1989 season, so the F1-90 was overseen by another former McLaren designer Steve Nichols as well as Argentinean Chief Designer Enrique Scalabroni. The general lines of the car remained largely unchanged apart from a few subtle modifications to the flanks. However, the engine’s cooling and “breathing” systems were improved, and it had also been attached to a new, more efficient version of revolutionary sequential semi-automatic paddleshift gearbox of the F1-89. A new shorter version of the racing engine also debuted at Imola and proved significantly more powerful. A larger fuel tank also made up for the fact that it was thirstier than the previous version. The F1-90 was powered by a 3.5 litre 680 bhp V12 engine, which was only just short of the 690 bhp offered by the McLaren-Honda V10 power units of their closest rivals. It was not quite as flexible or as good at delivering power out of slow corners as the Honda nor the Williams-Renault V10 or the Ford-Cosworth HB V8 used by Benetton. Despite its heavier engine, the 641 was among the best handling cars on the grid; Prost would later declare it the best car of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProst worked wonders with the F1-90, winning in Brazil, and taking back-to-back wins in Mexico, France, and again at Silverstone. Mansell, meanwhile, took a podium in Canada and completed the 1-2 in Mexico, before finally scoring his sole victory that season in Portugal. Prost was triumphant again a week later in Spain, after an impressive trio of podiums in Belgium, Italy and Portugal. Six wins was enough to comfortably give Ferrari second place in the Constructor’s Championship, while Prost finished seven points adrift of Ayrton Senna in the Drivers’ title; the battle came to an abrupt end at the penultimate race in Suzuka, when both the Brazilian and French driver ended up off the track just after the start. Prost’s French victory was particularly significant as it was also Ferrari’s 100th Formula 1 win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the Ferrari F1-90 won six of the 16 races it competed in, as well as eight further podiums, earning three pole positions, five fastest laps and 110 points for the Scuderia, claiming them second place in the Constructors’ Championship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ferrari F1-90 is limited to 199 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Nigel Mansell","offer_id":40337035296850,"sku":"M5873-SC2","price":10995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alain Prost","offer_id":40337035264082,"sku":"M5873-SC1","price":10995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/Ferrari_F1-90_641-2_-_M5873-00001.jpg?v=1601651644"},{"product_id":"ferrari-f10-alonso","title":"Ferrari F10 - 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix - Alonso","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine, beautifully crafted 1:5 model of the 2010 Ferrari F10 as piloted by Fernando Alonso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Ferrari GES and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay cases are also available for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model can be ordered in either driver version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249559646290,"sku":"M5362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/AmalgamFerrariF10Alonso1-5_3.jpg?v=1666275367"},{"product_id":"ferrari-f10-mas","title":"Ferrari F10 - 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix - Massa","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine, beautifully crafted 1:5 model of the 2010 Ferrari F10 as piloted by Felipe Massa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Ferrari GES and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay cases are also available for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model can be ordered in either driver version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249559711826,"sku":"M5362-MAS","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/IMG_2719.jpg?v=1601651667"},{"product_id":"ferrari-f138-3","title":"Ferrari F138 Steering Wheel (2013)","description":"A full size collector’s replica of the Ferrari F138 steering wheel from the 2013 season with working buttons, switches and paddles as piloted by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.\n\n\n\nThis replica has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Ferrari GES and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy in both weight and look and feel.\n\n\n\n\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249560072274,"sku":"M5610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/Amalgam-Ferrari-F138-FSSW-HR-6.jpg?v=1601651758"},{"product_id":"ferrari-f138-china-1-12","title":"Ferrari F138 - 2013 Chinese Grand Prix","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the 2013 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season, the Ferrari F138 was the last Scuderia Ferrari V8-powered Formula 1 car before the sport’s move towards hybrid power units. In the hands of Spaniard Fernando Alonso and Brazilian racer Felipe Massa, in their fourth and eighth seasons with the team respectively, the F138 was a race winner, despite a season dominated by the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car was the fifty ninth car built by Ferrari and was a direct evolution of the previous season’s triple-race winning F2012. The F138 name comes highlights the year competition (13) and honours the number of cylinders (8), marking the fact that this is the eighth and final year of competition for the V8 engine configuration. The team split its engineers, some working on the future hybrid-powered car for the 2014 season, whilst the others reworked every aspect of the F2012 to optimise efficiency and maximise performance for its successor. The bodywork was redesigned to allow for changes to the positioning and layout of the exhausts, whilst the dynamic air intake mounted above the cockpit and side pod intakes were also updated to optimise aerodynamics. The rear of the car is much narrower and more tapered on the lower part than its predecessor. The front and rear wings of the car were a continued development from the end of the previous season, whereas the drag reduction system on the rear wing was revised to make the most of the modifications to the Sporting Regulations. There were also detailed changes to the design of the brake ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F138 performed well in winter testing, suggesting that the car was even more competitive than its forerunner, and the season started in a similar vein as Alonso took second position at the opening Australian Grand Prix. Though never managing to gain pole position against the seemingly faster Red Bull and Mercedes, Alonso and Massa consistently qualified in the top six twice during the seven races of the season, only missing out when Massa crashed in FP3 in Monaco and again in Q2 in Canada. Ferrari’s early race pace was strong and this was evident in those early races when Alonso scored two race wins: first in China, after a superb drive from fifth on the grid, and then at his home race in Spain, after a bold strategy call to make four pit stops. Massa finished third in Spain too, giving Ferrari what would be their best result of the season and the Brazilian his only podium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari remained competitive for the rest of the season, scoring points at every round, and Alonso would earn six more podiums in Canada, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy, Singapore and Brazil. The Spaniard’s results kept him in a strong championship position throughout the season but a retirement in Malaysia and relatively poor results in Bahrain, Monaco, Korea and India ensured a title fight with the seemingly unstoppable Sebastian Vettel was over with three races to spare. He ultimately finished second with 242 points. Massa finished eighth in the standings, scoring 112 points. It was to be the last season for the Brazilian at Ferrari. The Italians lost second place in the Constructors' Championship to Mercedes, finishing just six points behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the Ferrari F138 earned two wins, eight further podiums and two fastest laps, scoring 354 Constructors’ Championship points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:12 scale model is of the Ferrari F138 as raced by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in the Formula 1 UBS Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit on the 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of April 2013. Alonso qualified third, whilst Massa earned fifth on the grid after qualification. A quick launch from the duo saw them leap into second and third as the slow-starting Kimi Räikkönen in second held up the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg in fourth. On lap four, both drivers passed the leading car of Lewis Hamilton on the approach and into the first corner. A flood of early pit stops was triggered by heavy tyre degradation on laps six and seven, causing chaos in the pit lane. The two Ferraris navigated the madness safely and maintained their lead after the first round of stops was complete. Massa pitted on lap 19 and Alonso on lap 23, allowing Sebastian Vettel to take the lead of the race. Alonso immediately set the fastest lap of the race, and to rein in the German. Vettel, on a different strategy was told on the radio to not resist an attack by Alonso. On lap 28, Alonso seized the lead from Vettel. Massa, who had struggled to maintain the pace after his first pit stop, took his final stop on lap 35. Alonso pitted for the last time on lap 41 and cruised to the chequered flag to secure his 31\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e Grand Prix victory on his 200\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Grand Prix start.

An evolution of the 248 F1, a car that itself came perilously close to both titles after a season-long battle with Renault, the F2007 took the Drivers’ Championship contest to the final race of the season against the equally competitive McLaren team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2007 season was a significant year for the Scuderia; the main figures of Ferrari’s ‘golden era’ departed: seven team world champion Michael Schumacher retired, team principal Jean Todt switched to a less forward-facing role and chief engineer Ross Brawn took a sabbatical. The trio were replaced by Räikkönen (who would partner Brazilian Felipe Massa in his second season at Ferrari), Stefano Domenicali and Aldo Costa respectively, and faced a tough task to improve on the previous season’s results. The 248 F1 had secured nine victories from eighteen races but narrowly lost out to Fernando Alonso and Renault in the Championships standings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the work over the winter break focused on a revised front suspension, which saw Ferrari move from a single- to twin-keel arrangements for the lower wishbones. The rear suspension remained like that on the 248 F1, but Ferrari planned a significant development programme that was to be based on their learnings of the 2007 tyres. The F2007’s wheelbase was lengthened in the section between the cockpit and front suspension and featured re-sculpted side-pods and all-new front and rear wings to further maximise the aerodynamic potential and engine cooling. The rear of the car was much narrower, allowing for a more sculpted and compact gearbox housing. The gearbox itself was fitted with an innovative quick-shift system. The Tipo 056 engine received some revisions in order to comply with the 19,000 rpm rev limit imposed for the 2007 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRäikkönen immediately exhibited why Ferrari signed him to replace Schumacher, taking pole position and taking the victory, setting the fastest lap in the process. He became the fourth Ferrari driver in history to win on his debut. His teammate Massa would only manage sixth in the season opener but would go on to take pole in the next race in Malaysia. Unable to recover from a poor start, the Brazilian finished fifth, but his Finnish teammate claimed the final podium spot as McLaren established their title credentials with a 1-2 victory of their own, Fernando Alonso leading home rookie Lewis Hamilton. Massa led the entire field to victory from pole in the subsequent races in Bahrain and Spain, though Räikkönen retired from the latter with electrical issues after claiming another podium in Bahrain. The next three rounds were difficult for the Italian team as McLaren dominated, though Massa claimed three podium positions and Räikkönen continued to consistently finish in the points. Heading into July, Ferrari were trailing by 35 points in the standings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRäikkönen and Massa bounced back in style at the French Grand Prix, taking a 1–2 victory after Massa set the fastest time in qualifying. The Finn continued this momentum into the British Grand Prix, winning from second on the grid, whilst Massa came home in fifth. Raikkonen claimed a strong pole position in the next race at the European Grand Prix but retired on lap 34 after hydraulics problems. Massa secured second position after a chaotic race. Räikkönen continued his fine form, earning successive second place finishes at the Hungarian and Turkish Grand Prix, the latter as part of a second 1-2, Massa this time leading the Ferrari pair across the line. With five races to go, Ferrari and its driver duo had closed the gap in both Championships, but it would require a strong finish to contend with McLaren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, round thirteen was a disaster for the Italian marque, beaten by a dominant McLaren in their own backyard, leaving their drivers and Constructors’ hopes increasingly unlikely, though still a mathematical possibility. However, whilst Massa fell out of the title chase despite three podiums in the final few races, Räikkönen was galvanised, hitting his best form of the season. A victory in Belgium, leading Massa to Ferrari’s third 1-2 of the season, closed the gap, and a third place in Japan kept him in contention. Another victory ahead of Alonso at the penultimate race in China took advantage of a huge error by Hamilton that saw him retire after beaching his car in the gravel at the pit entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finale in Brazil marked the first time since 1986 that three drivers had a chance of becoming World Champion in the final race of the season. Räikkönen trailed Alonso by three points in the standings, who himself was a further four points behind the leader Hamilton. The Finn would proceed to win the race from third, overtaking his teammate, who started on pole, for the victory. Alonso could manage no better than fourth whilst Hamilton, who would have secured the title with a fifth position, only finished seventh after suffering gearbox issues at the start of the race. For the first time since Giuseppe Farina in the inaugural Formula 1 season in 1950, the man who stood in third before the final race went on to win the Championship. Raikkonen was crowned World Champion, just a single point ahead Hamilton and Alonso. With a combined nine wins, the F2007 also secured the Constructors' trophy for Ferrari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the Ferrari F2007 earned nine wins, thirteen further podiums, nine pole positions and twelve fastest laps in just seventeen races, scoring 204 points and securing Ferrari both the World Drivers’ and World Constructors’ Championships.

Piloted by 2007 Drivers’ Champion Kimi Räikkönen and Brazilian racer Felipe Massa, the car was the fifty-fourth single-seater built by the Italian team specifically for Formula 1. The design, codenamed internally as the 659, represented the Scuderia's interpretation of the 2008 regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major new element was the introduction of a new electronic system to be used by all teams, known as SECU (Standard Electronic Control Unit), produced by McLaren Electronic Systems. It consisted of a single control unit and a software system, the development of which ends as the season begins. As a result of the rules concerning safety, gearbox and materials, as well as the learnings of its 2007 season predecessor, there was an increase in the overall weight of the car over the previous F2007. All of the F2008’s aerodynamic surfaces were completely revised, whilst the monocoque was further cut away under the driver's legs and the side pods and engine cover are more tapered. The suspension system was reworked and developed around the new aerodynamics. The wheelbase and weight distribution were adapted to maximise performance from the Bridgestone tyres. The braking system was updated with new callipers and innovative concepts regarding cooling. The basic structure of the 056 engine remained unchanged, though its auxiliary systems, air and fuel intakes were further developed. Changes to the technical and sporting regulations in terms of electronics led to the removal of a host of driver aids, such as traction control, engine braking and the electronically assisted starting system. Ferrari’s technical partners contributed to the design and development stages of the entire car: Shell with the lubricants for the gearbox, the Fiat Research Centre in providing simulation systems; and Brembo for its work in developing the braking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F2008 suffered a poor start at the opening Grand Prix in Australia, with Massa retiring after 26 laps because of a collision with the Red Bull of David Coulthard. Räikkönen’s suffered engine failure five laps from the end, but still scored a point as only six cars made the chequered flag. At the next race in Malaysia, the duo both qualified on the front row and controlled the race flawlessly, until Massa spun off the track at the halfway stage. Räikkönen endured and took the victory. The following three races saw the Ferrari hit its stride, with two consecutive 1-2 victories – Massa in Bahrain, Räikkönen in Spain – and a 1-3 finish led by Massa at the Turkish Grand Prix. The team emerged disappointed from the subsequent race in Monaco after a strong qualifying performance saw the Ferraris on the front row. Mistakes from both drivers saw Massa fall to third, whilst Räikkönen finished outside the points entirely in ninth.

Piloted by 2007 Drivers’ Champion Kimi Räikkönen and Brazilian racer Felipe Massa, the car was the fifty-fourth single-seater built by the Italian team specifically for Formula 1. The design, codenamed internally as the 659, represented the Scuderia's interpretation of the 2008 regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major new element was the introduction of a new electronic system to be used by all teams, known as SECU (Standard Electronic Control Unit), produced by McLaren Electronic Systems. It consisted of a single control unit and a software system, the development of which ends as the season begins. As a result of the rules concerning safety, gearbox and materials, as well as the learnings of its 2007 season predecessor, there was an increase in the overall weight of the car over the previous F2007. All of the F2008’s aerodynamic surfaces were completely revised, whilst the monocoque was further cut away under the driver's legs and the side pods and engine cover are more tapered. The suspension system was reworked and developed around the new aerodynamics. The wheelbase and weight distribution were adapted to maximise performance from the Bridgestone tyres. The braking system was updated with new callipers and innovative concepts regarding cooling. The basic structure of the 056 engine remained unchanged, though its auxiliary systems, air and fuel intakes were further developed. Changes to the technical and sporting regulations in terms of electronics led to the removal of a host of driver aids, such as traction control, engine braking and the electronically assisted starting system. Ferrari’s technical partners contributed to the design and development stages of the entire car: Shell with the lubricants for the gearbox, the Fiat Research Centre in providing simulation systems; and Brembo for its work in developing the braking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F2008 suffered a poor start at the opening Grand Prix in Australia, with Massa retiring after 26 laps because of a collision with the Red Bull of David Coulthard. Räikkönen’s suffered engine failure five laps from the end, but still scored a point as only six cars made the chequered flag. At the next race in Malaysia, the duo both qualified on the front row and controlled the race flawlessly, until Massa spun off the track at the halfway stage. Räikkönen endured and took the victory. The following three races saw the Ferrari hit its stride, with two consecutive 1-2 victories – Massa in Bahrain, Räikkönen in Spain – and a 1-3 finish led by Massa at the Turkish Grand Prix. The team emerged disappointed from the subsequent race in Monaco after a strong qualifying performance saw the Ferraris on the front row. Mistakes from both drivers saw Massa fall to third, whilst Räikkönen finished outside the points entirely in ninth. At the Canadian Grand Prix, Massa managed to secure a fifth placed finish after technical problems forced a second pit stop, whilst Räikkönen retired after being crashed into the pit lane by Lewis Hamilton.

An underwhelming pre-season led to an initially poor start to the season.

The company’s first supercar, although heavily influenced by the extreme machine philosophy of the 288 GTO, was never intended for a life on the racetrack. That is not to say, however, that it was lacking in purpose: its sophisticated high-performance, turbo-charged running gear combined with a first class chassis gave it the kind of great dynamic prowess that was close to that of a racing car. As the celebrated magazine Road \u0026amp; Track wrote, ‘The F40 may be one of the most single-minded road cars ever constructed’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMere months before his passing, a frail Enzo Ferrari announced from a podium at Ferrari headquarters in Maranello, Italy, a car that would change the world. That car, the F40, signalled the end of an era, both for the Ferrari brand and for performance cars in general. It was a demanding, Spartan supercar— “not particularly comfortable” even by the company’s own description. The F40 was designed expressly to be the fastest, sharpest, most aggressive Ferrari road car, ever. And it was about as close as you could get to a race car that had snuck out of the paddock and somehow gotten approved for road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a way, the car had done just that. The F40’s roots are found in the 288 GTO Evoluzione, the rocket that Ferrari had been developing to do battle in the road-racing portion of the fabled Group B category of FIA-sanctioned racing. Rallying accidents killed the entire category before the Evoluzione could strut its stuff, leaving Ferrari with the decision about what to do with all the time, money, and remarkable engineering that had gone into the project. The answer came in the form of a German rival, caught in the same predicament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorsche had also been developing a Group B monster and was forced to turn that project into a road car. Known first as Gruppe B concept, that car eventually became the astonishingly fast and technologically advanced 959. Ferrari noticed the headlines and accolades the 959 drew and began to think his aborted Group B car could do the same. “This is a great car, we have to make it,” said Ferrari test driver Marco Toni of the Evoluzione. That was all that Enzo needed to hear. He tapped Nicola Materazzi, father of the 288 GTO and its Evoluzione counterpart, to build the road car. It would be the last road car that Enzo Ferrari personally approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F40 debuted in 1987 and stunned evaluators with its blistering performance. A Road \u0026amp; Track test in October 1991 showed that the 478hp F40 could hit 60mph from a standstill in just 3.8 seconds and dispatch the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 196 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari packed advanced engineering into its 2450mm wheelbase, including a twin-turbo V8 power unit and a lightweight Kevlar and carbon composite body. And yet, it was not a spaceship like the 959. If the Porsche was a glimpse into the technology-laden future, the F40 was heralded as the most distilled, most satisfying version of the old ways of doing things. It had none of the electronic nannies now standard in every modern performance car. It did not use trick engine mapping and traction control to augment lap times. No power steering, power brakes or ABS to reassure the driver. Weight was kept to a minimum: the composite body panels were built for strength and low weight; Lexan-clothed windscreen was used instead of glass; and the interior was sparse to say the least, with no sound system, glove compartment or elaborate trims or upholstery. The F40 demanded the utmost attention and focus. Give it that, though, and it would give back the best driving experience of any car on the road at the time and most of them since. For Enzo, who died in 1988, it was a fitting final act, and it pointed to a future in which his company would, even after his passing, be at the forefront of ultra-high-performance road cars. Only 1311 examples were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari F40 has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

It was the successor to the enduringly popular F40, and thus followed its predecessor’s uncompromising, purist approach to high performance. Devoid of power steering, power assisted braking and ABS, the F50 was the Ferrari “extreme machine” of the nineties, and made extensive use of sophisticated composite materials, F1-style construction technology and aerodynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough a little early as a celebration model, Ferrari’s half-centenary wasn’t due until production of had been completed in 1997, the F50 was revealed at the 1995 Geneva Salon. Ferrari President Luca Di Montezemolo stated that the series would be limited to just 349 examples, one less than the company believed that they could sell. It was a significant change in strategy, brought about due to a slump in the supercar market in the early 1990s, after over 1,300 F40s had been sold previously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst previous limited series cars had been powered by turbocharged V8 engines, the F50 was equipped with a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine directly derived from the one used in the Ferrari F1-89 and F1-90 Formula 1 cars, with significant modifications to make it suitable for road use. The mid mounted Ferrari Tipo F130B was fitted longitudinally and rigidly mounted to the rear bulkhead and, just like its equivalent in the Formula 1 cars, was a load bearing member for the transmission and rear suspension. From under its clear plastic louvered engine cover, the V12’s 512 horsepower power output could accelerate the car to 60mph (100km\/h) in just 3.87 seconds, on to a claimed top speed of 202mph (325km\/h).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-inspired technology did not end there. The F40’s body panels were all constructed from composite materials, it used push-rod rear suspension, the chassis was built entirely from carbon fibre, and the Goodyear Fiorano tyres were developed specifically for the project. The F50 even outfitted with a puncture resistant fuel bag rather than a traditional tank. To reinforce the serious nature of the car, it has no driver aids: power steering, power brakes, tractional control, nor ABS were ever offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pininfarina styling, featuring plenty of curves, intake and exhaust slots, and an even more radical rear wing than the F40, as well as a removable hardtop, bore little in common with any other Ferrari model. It had plenty of curves, intakes and exhaust slots, and an even more radical rear wing than the F40, but the body shape was more one of aerodynamic function than aesthetic pleasure, and necessitated 2,000 hours of wind tunnel testing. The F50 did possess a removable hardtop, with a small canvas canopy provided as a backup, so that the occupants could come even closer to the F1 experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction ran from 1995 to 1997 in the chassis number range 101919 to 1107575, whilst a GT1 prototype was also produced but never raced, with a total of three examples being made carrying their own chassis number sequence, 001, 002 and 003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe European specification model edition is a perfect replica of the car as unveiled to celebrate Ferrari's 50th anniversary in 1995, whilst the US specification edition incorporates all the additional elements of the cars sold specifically in the United States. Bespoke models can be commissioned for owners of the real car. These fine 1:8 scale models of the Ferrari F50 have been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly provided by Ferrari allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Finally, the prototype model has undergone detailed scrutiny by Ferrari’s engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" href=\"https:\/\/wwww.amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets?ref=IbYmpMy4O7M8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" title=\"Bespoke Models at Amalgam Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/pages\/bespoke-one-off-models\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDiscover more about our Bespoke Models \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Euro Edition","offer_id":40249561120850,"sku":"M5887","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US Edition","offer_id":40249561153618,"sku":"M5887-USA","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bespoke","offer_id":40249561186386,"sku":"M5887","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/DSCF5194_77652840-46a2-4f2f-98cf-f6d91dbe1429.jpg?v=1648038595"},{"product_id":"ferrari-sf15-t-11-steering-wheel-replica","title":"Ferrari SF15-T Steering Wheel (2015)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full size collector’s replica of the Ferrari SF15-T steering wheel from the 2015 season with working buttons, switches and paddles as piloted by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replica has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Ferrari GES and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy in both weight and look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249562103890,"sku":"M5830","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/SF15-T-FSSW-M5830-SN1-Web-1.jpg?v=1601652520"},{"product_id":"ferrari-sf16-h-steering-wheel","title":"Ferrari SF16-H Steering Wheel (2016)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full size precision replica of the Ferrari SF16-H steering wheel with working buttons, switches and paddles, as piloted by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are proud of the accuracy and precision of our work.
