Initially a technical experiment for the now Volkswagen-owned Bugatti company, it transformed the motoring landscape forever and rejuvenated the Bugatti brand to no end, turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use. The development is considered one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry. Every single piece of the car was developed from scratch and the engineers at Bugatti worked closely with experts in the aviation and space sectors, industries where materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces. Though the car was setting a new technological benchmark, the design was injected with Bugatti-DNA. The two-tone design created the characteristic side view with the signature Bugatti line. The centre line and horseshoe-shaped radiator grille bridged the gap between the early Bugatti models and the present day. Even the full name, the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4, was a hark back to the marque’s history: ‘EB’ refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the car is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while behind the wheel of Type 57C Tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veyron was many production car firsts: the first with over a thousand horsepower, the first with a W16 engine and the first to break the 250mph (402kph) barrier. The car boasted unparalleled statistics which only a handful of manufacturers have matched since. Powered by an eight-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers that developed 1,001bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, the 1,888kg Veyron possesses a power-to-weight ratio of 523bhp per ton and could accelerate to 60mph in 2.5 seconds. This enabled it to reach a top speed of 253mph (407km\/h), making it the fastest car in the world – a record it would hold for two years. A later variant of the Bugatti would reclaim the record from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and keep that record until 2017, another seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the engine, Bugatti worked in partnership with Michelin to develop the world’s first mass-produced tyre that can withstand speeds in the region of 400km\/h and could be used everyday. Together, they developed a new tyre pressure sensor to withstand the 130 kg centrifugal forces placed upon the wheels at top speed. Carbon-ceramic brakes discs were chosen to withstand brake disc surface temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. In addition, titanium was used for the brake disc hub instead of the usual stainless steel, giving the Veyron by far the strongest braking performance in the automotive and motorsport industry at the time. Bugatti regarded the rear wing to be the most important technical element. At high speed, the wing could flip up to an angle of 55 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, increasing rear axle downforce, thereby improving the distribution of braking power between the front and rear axles. The airbrake alone caused deceleration of up to 0.6 G and, when combined with the 1.4 G generated by the wheel brakes, the Veyron had ample stopping power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Bugatti Veyron is limited to only 99 pieces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amalgamcollection.com\/collections\/display-cabinets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Display Cabinets for this model \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amalgamcollection.com\/pages\/bespoke-one-off-models\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more about our Bespoke Models \u0026gt;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amalgam Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40249551192146,"sku":"M5221-VEN","price":16795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2784\/4966\/products\/AmalgamBugattiVeyronBlack_Red1-8_7_PRODUCTPIC.jpg?v=1604338053"},{"product_id":"ferrari-enzo","title":"Ferrari Enzo (2002) 1:8 scale","description":"\u003cp\u003eA truly memorable car for Ferrari, the Enzo – named after the founder himself – is one of a handful of supercars that the Italian giant has created over the years using the very pinnacle of the company’s technological achievements of that era from the race track. 2002 was a time of maturing engine technologies in Formula One and the Enzo represents the breed of naturally aspirated, mechanical hypercars built before today’s era of electrical engine technologies had fully emerged.* Just 400 examples were built of the Enzo, and it was created to commemorate Maranello’s first Formula One title of the new millennium.

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.

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

The 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.

Murray had no such plans either. He merely dreamed of building what was quickly and widely to become recognised as the 20th century’s most exotic road car, and at the conclusion of a three-year design-and-build process he had achieved exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore long, however, customers were asking for a racing version, and as the 1995 GT season drew nearer the number of requests began to climb. After much persuasion, Murray agreed to produce nine chassis, some in time for the 1995 edition of Le Mans. As the F1 was based directly on McLaren’s racing experience, little in the way of track modifications needed to be carried out. The F1 GTR was, in fact, slightly less powerful than the road going variant due to regulations limiting cars to 600bhp. The F1 GTRs also had to be fitted with steel roll-cages, the steering rack ratios were quicker, and the rubber bushing in the suspension was removed. Development of downforce was limited to a single day in the wind-tunnel under Murray’s direction, while the OZ Racing wheels concealed even larger discs and callipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1 GTR quickly wrote its name into the record books, with victory at the 1995 edition 24 Hours of Le Mans against faster, purpose-built prototypes. Seven F1 GTRs entered the race, and five finished: taking first, third, fourth, fifth and thirteenth places, an incredible showing for what was essentially a road car. The victory marked some highly significant motorsport firsts: McLaren had won Le Mans at its first attempt; the F1 GTR had won the event in its first year of production, and not even Ferrari had managed that; it was also the first Le Mans win for a Finnish driver, and for a Japanese one, as well as being a first for BMW power. As if that wasn’t enough, the F1 GTR also went on to win the 1995 Global GT Championship. The cars were not only fast, but consistent. The championship-winning car of Thomas Bscher and John Nielsen won only two races that year but was nevertheless sufficiently reliable throughout the season to amass the necessary points to take the title. The greatest supercar of its generation had been transformed into the most successful British sports racing car of modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the McLaren F1 GTR is of the #51 Harrods sponsored car of the Mach One Racing team that took the final podium place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. Chassis 06R was sold new to Moody Fayed, the nephew of British-domiciled Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed. Sponsorship came from the world-famous Harrods department store that Al-Fayed owned and the car was painted in a distinctive yellow and green livery. Chassis 06R had already been racing in the 1995 BPR Series when it was entered into Le Mans in the capable hands of Andy Wallace, Derek Bell and his son Justin Bell. By any standards, the 1995 race was an epic. Despite the appalling weather – it rained for 16 of the 24 hours – and transmission issues, which struck the car with only two hours to go, the trio finished in an incredible third position, one lap behind the faster, purpose-built Courage C34 prototype of Mario Andretti, and two behind the surprise winners Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing in a fellow F1 GTR. This fantastic result spurred on some more success, as Andy Wallace would proceed to win three races in a row in the BPR Series behind the wheel of 06R before the year was out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of McLaren Automotive regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The car itself was a development chassis, named 01R, entered at the last minute for the Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing team, who needed a car after originally being allocated 08R, which was instead used to replace a Gulf that had been crashed heavily in an accident at the 4 Hours of Jarama. By any standards, the 1995 race was an epic. The weather was appalling – it rained for 16 of the 24 hours – but the trio of Yannick Dalmas, Masanori Sekiya and JJ Lehto impressed, particularly the latter whose relentless pace saw him posting lap-times up to 20 seconds faster than his rivals. The #59 car crossed the finish line one whole lap ahead of the Courage C34 prototype of Mario Andretti, going down in folklores of Le Mans history as one of the greatest stories. 01R has remained in the ownership of McLaren ever since and is proudly displayed on the Boulevard at the McLaren Technology Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of McLaren Automotive regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Appearing at Le Mans with seven F1 GTRs in six privateer teams, F1 GTRs stormed to an impressive victory, finishing in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places. The winning No. 59 Kokusai Kaihatsu McLaren, driven by Yannick Dalmas, Masanori Sekiya and JJ Lehto, finished one lap ahead of its closest rival, simultaneously becoming the first team and first car to win on debut at Le Mans. In addition, Lehto and Sekiya's involvement meant it was the first Le Mans win for a Finnish driver and a Japanese driver in the historic 24-hour race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a tribute to this immediate success, McLaren decided to build just five cars for sale, signifying the five racers that reached the end, and keeping the prototype. The cars were originally planned to be painted bright Papaya orange schemes as a homage to founder Bruce McLaren but only four were as the other two were customised for the Sultan of Brunei. It was reported that the prototype was promised by McLaren CEO Ron Dennis to his driver Lewis Hamilton should win two FIA Formula One World Championship® titles at McLaren. This car is still in possession of McLaren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1 LM variants were 60kg lighter and more track-focused than the standard F1 and more powerful than the F1 GTR track cars, which were restricted at Le Mans as part of the regulations. It could reach 60mph (97km\/h) in 3.9 seconds (which would have been quicker but for wheelspin) and 100mph (161km\/h) in 6.7 seconds, going on to a top speed of 225mph (362km\/h). It was once the holder of many world records, including the 0-100-0mph record that it completed in a mesmerising 11.5 seconds. As McLaren itself stated, the F1 LM was “an untamed Le Mans race car with number plates”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen Technical Director of McLaren Cars, Gordon Murray, remembers, ‘After Le Mans, and the win, and after the euphoria had died down, I started thinking we should do something to celebrate….And as the road car had gone to Le Mans and won, what about making a road version with the kit from Le Mans? We’ve got the kit, made the wing, made the bodywork, got the engine that revs higher, so why not put it into a limited edition?’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create the McLaren F1 LM, we scanned the original prototype chassis XPLM at the McLaren Technology Centre, 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":1145.0,"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 - 1:18 scale","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 car was originally designed by Marcello Gandini but his designed angular design was considered too radical and Giampaolo Benedini was tasked to soften the design into what we now know as the EB110.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-engine sports car housed a technologically advanced 3.5 litre mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, further enhanced by four turbochargers. Two camshafts per bank and 60 valves – five per cylinder – ensured an extraordinarily fast throttle response. Depending on the exact model, the engine generated between 560 and 610HP, permanently transmitted to all four wheels, giving a 0-100km\/h sprint time of as little as 3.26 seconds. This made it the fastest series-production car of its era, and gave it a top speed of 351km\/h. Bugatti set four world records with the EB110: fastest acceleration, fastest series-production sports car, fastest gas-powered sports car and fastest series-production car on ice. Even today, almost 30 years later, the EB110 is still among the world’s fastest cars. The aluminium body panels are bonded to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis; the EB110 was the first road car to feature this technique. Aluminium, carbon fibre and aramid fibre-reinforced plastic were used for the body, the wheels were cast from magnesium and each screw was made of titanium. The car also possessed active aerodynamics and an all-wheel drive system, also scarcely used in the automotive industry at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 96 EB110 GT and 32 EB110 Supersport production cars were produced up until 1995, a total of around 128 vehicles, two of which were official factory racing cars with an output of 670HP. These raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, at Suzuka and in the American IMSA series, including the 24 Hours of Daytona. They were the last cars to leave the factory gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine model of the Bugatti EB110 is a 1:8 scale replica of the car that entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1994, Bugatti’s first foray at Le Mans after a lengthy 55-year absence from the legendary track. Next to the ‘Dauer’ Porsche, the Bugatti proved fastest in practice and entered the race with drivers Alain Cudini, Le Mans winner Éric Hélary and Jean-Christophe Bouillon. Despite an impressive performance, the EB110 needed all four of its turbos replaced during the morning session and dropped well down the rankings. The team’s race came to an end during the dying laps when a tyre blowout threw the Bouillon into the barriers on the Mulsanne Straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bugatti EB 110 model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Bugatti regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Made for just 499 highly discerning clients, the LaFerrari follows in the illustrious footsteps of its limited-edition predecessors – the 288 GTO, the F40, the F50 and the Enzo – and is strongly reminiscent of great Ferraris of the past, including the 330 P4 and 312P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1-derived hybrid system, known as the HY-KERS system, seamlessly blended extreme performance with maximum efficiency and was more evolved and complex than the KERS system utilised by the Scuderia’s Formula 1 cars. The 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V12 combustion engine, already the most powerful incarnation yet of Ferrari’s classic V12, was twinned with a 150hp electric motor to produce a staggering power output of 960 CV. This electric motor provided unending power throughout the rev range and a maximum torque peak of over 900 Nm. The combined powertrain was designed to consistently yield maximum output whilst the car is on the move, meaning there was no separate electric mode to be engaged; instead, the combustion and electric units constantly worked in perfect tandem, with energy harvested via a variety of systems, including the brakes and traction control, and stored in a 132 lb. battery pack. This hybrid system fired the LaFerrari to 124 mph (200 km\/h) in less than seven seconds, on to a top speed of 217 mph (349 km\/h), making it the fastest road-going Ferrari in the marque’s history. The F1 seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox was coupled with the electric motor and an auxiliary electric motor replaced the traditional alternator, saving weight and reducing the size of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LaFerrari’s architecture represented the pinnacle of innovation even by Ferrari’s legendary standards. Maranello’s engineers delivered increased aerodynamic efficiency, an ideal weight distribution, a lowered centre of gravity, all in a sleek body made of four different types of carbon fibre. The sweeping bodywork, designed entirely in-house by Ferrari’s chief designer Flavio Manzoni, incorporated the aero technology and many styling elements clearly inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 program, such as the front splitter, and GT competition cars, like the rear spoiler and fog lamp. The rear wing and underbody were key components of the active aerodynamics package, deploying and retracting in response to vehicle speed, braking, throttle position, and steering angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari LaFerrari will be handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly from Ferrari’s design office allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.

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.

It was once the holder of many world records, including the 0-100-0mph record that it completed in a mesmerising 11.5 seconds.

Built between 2003 and 2006 in a strictly limited run of 1,270 examples, the Carrera GT represented Porsche’s most ambitious road‑going statement – no mere supercar, but a visceral experience underpinned by motorsport engineering carried almost unchanged from the racetrack to the road. In an era increasingly defined by electronic intervention, the Carrera GT stood apart as something purer, more demanding, and unmistakably Porsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Racing Prototype to Flagship Supercar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe origins of Project 980 lie deep within Porsche’s late‑1990s endurance racing programme. Following overall victories at Le Mans with the 911 GT1, engineers at Weissach began work on a new open‑top prototype designed for the LMP category. Central to this project was an unconventional powerplant: a wide‑angle V10 originally developed in secret for Formula One in the early 1990s, later reprised for sports‑car racing ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen changes to FIA and ACO regulations brought the prototype programme to an abrupt end in 1999, Porsche faced a familiar dilemma, and an opportunity, to their Group B-derived 959 project of the 1980s. Rather than abandon years of engineering effort, the company redirected the project toward a road‑going flagship. The Carrera GT concept, shown in Paris in 2000, was initially intended as a technical showcase. The demand stoked in response to its appearance made production inevitable. Final assembly took place at Porsche’s new, purpose‑built Leipzig facility, and the first car went on sale in the United States on 31st January 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eA V10 Without Compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Carrera GT lies one of the most remarkable engines ever fitted to a production car. The naturally aspirated V10, enlarged from 5.5 to 5.7 litres for series production for extra potency, retained its racing lineage while adhering to production car durability and emissions standards. Constructed with an aluminium block and heads, titanium connecting rods, forged internals, and dry‑sump lubrication, the engine weighed remarkably little for its size and capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum output was 612 PS at 8,000 rpm, with 590 Nm of torque delivered high in the rev range. The engine’s character rewarded commitment, building power progressively toward an 8,400 rpm redline, accompanied by a sound that has since become iconic. Performance figures were formidable: 0–60 mph in around 3.6 seconds and a top speed in excess of 330 km\/h. Power was delivered exclusively through a six‑speed manual transmission, making the Carrera GT a deliberate outlier among its contemporaries. Central to this experience was Porsche’s ceramic composite clutch, exceptionally compact and low in inertia, allowing the engine and gearbox to sit extremely low within the chassis, a decision that paid dividends across the entire dynamic envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Chassis and Aerodynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carrera GT was built around a carbon‑fibre monocoque and subframes, representing Porsche’s most extensive use of the material in a road car at the time. The result was exceptional torsional rigidity combined with a remarkably low kerb weight of just 1,380 kg, key to both performance and feedback. Suspension was equally uncompromising: double‑wishbone layouts front and rear utilised pushrod‑actuated springs and dampers mounted inboard, a configuration derived directly from Porsche’s endurance racing cars. This arrangement reduced unsprung mass and allowed precise control of wheel motion, delivering responsiveness and road feel that defined the Carrera GT’s driving character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerodynamic performance was achieved through a carefully managed underbody and an automatically deploying rear wing, which increased stability at speed without compromising the car’s clean profile. Combined with carbon‑ceramic brakes, immense in size yet notably light, the Carrera GT offered immense stopping power and consistency, reinforcing its confidence at high speeds. The car’s abilities were perhaps best demonstrated on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, where a lap time well under eight minutes placed it firmly among the fastest road cars of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Analogue Cockpit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the Carrera GT reflected Porsche’s functional approach to design, though not devoid of comfort. The cabin was trimmed in leather and carbon fibre, free from unnecessary embellishment, with all key information presented through traditional analogue instruments. Electronic assistance was deliberately minimal, placing responsibility firmly in the hands of the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail in particular encapsulated the car’s philosophy: the beechwood gearknob, a direct homage to the legendary Porsche 917. Light in weight and tactile in use, it served as both a functional component and a quiet reminder of Porsche’s racing heritage. Amenities such as air conditioning and a sound system were available but remained secondary to the driving experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003ePorsche’s 2000s-Defining Supercar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Carrera GT is widely regarded as one of the defining supercars of the modern era. With only 1,270 examples produced, in numbers small enough to ensure rarity yet large enough to establish its reputation, it occupies a unique position alongside its early‑2000s contemporaries. Where others embraced automation and shifting complexity, the Carrera GT retained a purity that has become increasingly rare. Often described as the last analogue supercar, it stands as a monument to Porsche’s design and engineering philosophy; a car conceived without compromise, guided by motorsport, and executed with clarity of purpose. Its growing acclaim among collectors reflects not only its performance or scarcity, but its integrity as a driver’s machine. The Carrera GT still remains relevant as a reminder of what is possible when engineering ambition is allowed to lead, and why this car built at the turn of millennium continues to define the upper boundary of Porsche’s road‑going legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Iconic Specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:18 scale model of the Porsche Carrera is finished in GT Silver Metallic, paired with a matching roof panel and an interior trimmed entirely in Terracotta leather.

Initially a technical experiment for the now Volkswagen-owned BUGATTI company, it transformed the motoring landscape forever and rejuvenated the BUGATTI brand, turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use. Its development is considered one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry. Every single component of the car was developed from scratch and the engineers at BUGATTI worked closely with experts in the aviation and space sectors, industries where materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces. Though the car was setting a new technological benchmark, its design was infused with BUGATTI DNA. The two-tone design created the characteristic side profile with the signature BUGATTI line. The centre line and horseshoe-shaped radiator grille bridged the gap between the early BUGATTI models and the present day. Even the full name, the BUGATTI Veyron EB 16.4, harked back to the marque’s history: ‘EB’ refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the car is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a BUGATTI development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while behind the wheel of Type 57C Tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnparalleled Speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Veyron was many production car firsts: the first with over a thousand horsepower, the first with a W16 engine and the first to break the 250 mph (402 kph) barrier. The car boasted unparalleled statistics which only a handful of manufacturers have matched since. Powered by an eight-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers that developed 1,001 bhp and 1,250 Nm of torque, the 1,888 kg Veyron possesses a power-to-weight ratio of 523 bhp per ton and could accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. This enabled it to reach a top speed of 253 mph (407 kph), making it the fastest car in the world – a record it would hold for two years. A later variant of the BUGATTI would reclaim the record from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and keep that record until 2017, another seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGround-breaking Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the engine, BUGATTI worked in partnership with Michelin to develop the world’s first mass-produced tyre that was capable of withstanding speeds close to 400 kph and was suitable for everyday road use. Together, they developed a new tyre pressure sensor to withstand the 130 kg centrifugal forces placed upon the wheels at top speed. Carbon-ceramic brake discs were chosen to withstand brake disc surface temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. In addition, titanium was used for the brake disc hub instead of the usual stainless steel, delivering what was, at the time, the strongest braking performance in the automotive and motorsport industry at the time. BUGATTI regarded the rear wing to be the most important technical element. At high speed, the wing could flip up to an angle of 55 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, increasing rear axle downforce, thereby improving the distribution of braking power between the front and rear axles. The airbrake alone caused deceleration of up to 0.6 G and, when combined with the 1.4 G generated by the wheel brakes, the Veyron had ample stopping power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe BUGATTI W16 Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only 16-cylinder engine in the world to be used in a car, the 8.0-litre W16 is a true engineering masterpiece and an icon in its own right. Assembled by hand from more than 3,500 components, it produced over 1,000 PS from its very first test in 2001, combining immense power with exceptional smoothness and reliability thanks to innovations such as the Bugatti Ion Current Sensing system. Cooling and performance were equally extraordinary: dual water cycles, multiple heat exchangers, and dedicated coolers maintained optimal temperatures even under extreme loads, while four turbochargers boosted an already prodigious output to deliver limitless acceleration. Its distinctive asymmetric firing order produces a sound as unique as the engine itself, moving from a refined purr to a growling intensity as the load increases. Continuously refined over the years, the W16 powered the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport to 1,200 PS and a record-setting 431 km\/h in 2010, securing its place in automotive history. A pinnacle of performance and innovation, the 8.0-litre W16 continued to propel BUGATTI’s hyper sports cars for almost 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Faithful Reproduction of the W16 Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:4 scale model of the BUGATTI Veyron W16 Engine and Gearbox has been handcrafted and finished in Amalgam's workshops using CAD directly from BUGATTI’s design studio allowing them to perfectly recreate every detail at scale, right down to the numerous parts labels and barcodes.

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 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.

Drawing on McLaren’s Formula 1 expertise, and with an uncompromising approach to design, they stripped weight, reduced drag and increased downforce. Every millimetre of the F1 was painstakingly analysed to create the world’s most exhilarating car: each carbon fibre chassis took over 3,000 hours to build; the throttle pedal was handcrafted out of six separate pieces of titanium; the instrument panels were handmade and hand-painted with each needle individually machined. This level of precision extended to the driver too – as each cabin was customised to the owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Formula 1 inspired telemetry to the pioneering carbon chassis, the F1’s innovative technologies were decades ahead of its time. Some of the most influential engineering highlights, like the carbon fibre tub, dihedral doors, flat underbody and Airbrake are still signature features on today’s McLarens. The naturally aspirated 6.1-litre, V12 BMW powerplant generated the highest power output for its size and delivered over 620bhp. To best reflect the heat generated by so much power, the engine bay was lined with pure gold. To enhance performance, handling, braking and sheer driving feel, the team knew they would have to minimise weight across the spectrum. The McLaren F1 was the first road car with a carbon fibre chassis, its weight-saving wheels made from magnesium alloy and its supporting sub-structure from titanium. To create traction-enhancing load without adding mass, the team also applied the latest ground force techniques to the car. The computer-controlled Airbrake balanced load across the car and ensured the F1 maintained poise when braking hard, a system that was more sophisticated than anything before of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the McLaren F1 \u003c\/span\u003eis available in dark metallic green or\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003efinished in silver, complete with a black interior, as first unveiled to the world at The Sporting Club in Monaco in May 1992, during the Monaco Grand Prix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e It has been handcrafted and assembled in our workshops using detailed colour and material specifications supplied directly from McLaren Automotive, and our own CAD data created through digital scanning of an original car.
