It was just a matter of time until the artists at Amalgam produced a scale model of the new Ferrari. Introducing the 12Cilindri in 1:8 scale, which has an equally beautiful appearance as its life-size version. To acquire one, just like the actual thing, will cost a substantial amount of money.
“Serious money” is a relative term in this context. While this one starts at $18,220, a real 12-Cilindri costs over $500,000. With four years of finance, that’s just a $380 monthly car payment, surely something everyone can manage? You can’t drive this car anyplace, of course. However, you could leave it on your desk in the game room and spend hours staring at it. Worse things can be done to take away time.
Speaking of time, Amalgam claims that designing this 12Cilindri replica required more than 3000 hours. The business builds an extremely precise model that closely resembles the actual thing using Ferrari designs. Ferrari collaborates with Amalgam to make it all happen, and after thousands of parts are produced, each car is assembled by a team of assemblers over the course of 300 hours.
Amalgam copies are known for their amazing detail, and this one is no exception. It has exact exterior proportions and is painted in the same shade of Rosso Imola as the original automobile. When the doors are opened, the Blu Sterling interior is displayed with tiny red contrast stitches. Data is displayed on digital screens. Even the door jamb has little door locks.
The engine is one item we cannot see. It’s unfortunate that this scale model doesn’t open the hood, as we would have loved to see the V-12 preserved in 1:8 scale. The naturally aspirated engine of the actual car rotates at nearly 9,000 rpm and produces an incredible 819 horsepower.
If you’re not satisfied with any of the 398 replicas Amalgam is developing (199 hardtops, 199 Spiders), the business will create a unique one according to your requirements. It is slightly more expensive—$25,510 to be exact—but it will still allow you to comfortably afford a new Honda Civic. For those who are not so gifted but yet desire a stunning 1:18 size Ferrari, Amalgam offers a 1:18 scale 12Cilindri model for $1,330.
The founder of Amalgam Collection, Sandy Copeman, stated, “Bespoke models can be tailored to the owner’s exact specifications for collectors who demand an even higher level of personalization.” “We receive all the technical information, including paint sample cards and the appropriate leather swatches, for the specification you have selected directly from Ferrari. With this personalization option, every Ferrari 12Cilindri model is guaranteed to be more than just a copy and to be a distinctive representation of the owner’s preferences and sense of style.
