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.

The Aperta represented the finest expression of Ferrari’s technical capabilities in both GT and Formula 1 engineering, pushing the boundaries of road car technology. Such was the demand for the first convertible Ferrari hybrid, that all 200 cars were sold, via invitation only, before the car was even launched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-derived hybrid system, known as the HY-KERS system, seamlessly blended extreme performance with maximum efficiency and was more evolved and complex than the KERS system utilised by the Scuderia’s Formula 1 cars. The 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V12 combustion engine, already the most powerful incarnation yet of Ferrari’s classic V12, was twinned with a 150hp electric motor to produce a staggering power output of 960 CV. This electric motor provided unending power throughout the rev range and a maximum torque peak of over 900 Nm. The combined powertrain was designed to consistently yield maximum output whilst the car is on the move, meaning there was no separate electric mode to be engaged; instead, the combustion and electric units constantly worked in perfect tandem, with energy harvested via a variety of systems, including the brakes and traction control, and stored in a 132 lb. battery pack. This hybrid system fired the Aperta to 124 mph (200 km\/h) in less than seven seconds, on to a top speed of 217 mph (349 km\/h), making it the fastest road-going spider in the marque’s history. The F1 seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox was coupled with the electric motor and an auxiliary electric motor replaced the traditional alternator, saving weight and reducing the size of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Ferrari’s most passionate clientele, the Aperta’s futuristic and extreme styling retains the essential characteristics of the coupé, seamlessly marrying form and function whilst still retaining clear cues great to Ferraris of the past. The lack of a roof provided a new challenge for the engineers at Maranello, with the goal to achieve the same torsional rigidity and drag coefficient figures as the coupe. Targeted modifications strengthened the chassis, whilst innovative integrated airflow solutions ensured no increase in drag, placing the Aperta at the top of the supercar category in terms of dynamic performance. The LaFerrari’s architecture represented the pinnacle of innovation even by Ferrari’s legendary standards. Maranello’s engineers delivered increased aerodynamic efficiency, an ideal weight distribution, a lowered centre of gravity, all in a sleek body made of four different types of carbon fibre. The sweeping bodywork, designed entirely in-house by Ferrari’s chief designer Flavio Manzoni, incorporated the aero technology and many styling elements clearly inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 program, such as the front splitter, and GT competition cars, like the rear spoiler and fog lamp. The rear wing and underbody were key components of the active aerodynamics package, deploying and retracting in response to vehicle speed, braking, throttle position, and steering angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly from Ferrari’s design office allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

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\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249567379538,"sku":"M5938","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/files\/M5938FerrariF501-18marketingphoto_8_EDIT.jpg?v=1724835144"},{"product_id":"ferrari-enzo-1-18","title":"Ferrari Enzo","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the course of its history, Ferrari has, from time to time, released a limited edition of extreme road-going sports cars that incorporate the leading technological and performance-oriented achievements of their era.

Just 399 examples were built, based heavily on the marque’s latest Formula One know-how, incorporating advanced composite bodywork and a carbon-fibre and aluminium honeycomb sandwich chassis. The V12 5998cc engine was capable of a heady 660 brake horsepower and, coupled with clearly F1 influenced aerodynamics that could achieve a downforce of 775kg at 300 kph, allowed the Enzo to reach a top speed of 350 kilometres per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time of the Enzo’s launch, Ferrari was enjoying a golden era in the sport of Formula One and there can be no doubt that the Enzo benefitted from all the latest and most advanced track-derived technologies of its day.

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\u003eEvery Amalgam 1:18 scale model is supplied in a luxury black box with a protective outer carrying sleeve.

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 in Verde Pallido has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Its hybrid powertrain delivers an astonishing 1,200 horsepower, drawing on Ferrari’s Formula 1 and World Endurance Championship expertise. At its heart lies a three-litre, 120° V6 twin-turbo engine (F163CF) producing 900 hp. This is paired with a cutting-edge hybrid system, where an electric front axle and motor (MGU-K) contribute a further 300 hp. Significantly, the MGU-K is the first hybrid unit to be developed, tested, and manufactured entirely in Maranello, with advanced features such as a tooth-coil stator, Halbach array rotor, and carbon-fibre magnet retention system—all technologies born from Ferrari’s racing programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harness such immense power, Ferrari equipped the F80 with innovations never before seen on a road car. Chief among them is the CCM-R Plus braking system, offering far greater strength and heat resistance than conventional carbon-ceramic brakes. Combined with a carbon-fibre chassis, new active suspension, and extreme aerodynamics generating up to 1,050 kg of downforce, the F80 is engineered for performance at the very edge of possibility. From the 499P-inspired S-Duct to a multi-material chassis construction—carbon fibre for the cell and roof, aluminium subframes secured with titanium fastenings—every detail is designed for strength, lightness, and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Bold New Design Language\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually revolutionary is the F80’s design.

A contrasting treatment between the painted upper bodywork and exposed carbon-fibre lower surfaces accentuates its sculpted technicality. The headlamps are hidden within a visor element that serves both aerodynamic and lighting functions, giving the F80 a uniquely original face. At the rear, a compact “short-tail” design integrates a mobile wing with two distinct configurations, while layered taillight structures create a dramatic, motorsport-inspired depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom every angle, the F80 reveals new details: vertical wheel arch panels that pay homage to the F40, a muscular rear flow emphasising the wing’s presence, and aerospace-inspired forms that give the car a futuristic, almost otherworldly character.

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