Renowned for its automotive craftsmanship, Amalgam Collection has released a jaw-dropping 1:8 scale replica of Ferrari's 12Cilindri.
Designed with Ferrari's precise specifications, this collector’s item comes with a price tag that rivals a new car.
Starting at a staggering US$18,220 (around NZ$29,200), the scale model costs more than a brand-new MG3, which starts at NZ$25,990, offering enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own a miniature version of the iconic supercar.
3000 hours in the making
Amalgam’s 12Cilindri replica showcases its dedication to quality. Over 3000 hours were invested in designing this model, utilising Ferrari's original blueprints to ensure flawless accuracy.
Each model, which consists of thousands of intricately crafted parts, requires over 300 hours of assembly by a team of expert builders.
The result? A museum-quality replica that mirrors the real-life 12Cilindri in exquisite detail.
The model captures the Ferrari’s sleek proportions and comes painted in Ferrari’s signature Rosso Imola.
Inside, the level of detail is just as impressive. The doors open to reveal an interior upholstered in Blu Sterling, with red contrast stitching and functional digital screens. Tiny door latches in the door jambs further enhance the realism.
However, the V-12 engine remains hidden under the closed hood - an element some collectors might miss.
Bespoke customisation
With only 199 hardtop coupes and 199 convertibles available, this limited-edition model is bound to become a collector’s treasure.
But for those seeking exclusivity, Amalgam offers bespoke one-off models, built to the customer’s exact specifications. These personalised models come with a premium price of US$25,510 (around NZ$40,900), a figure higher than even a Toyota Corolla.
“For collectors who demand an even higher level of personalisation, Amalgam Collection offers bespoke models that can be tailored to the owner's exact specifications," said Sandy Copeman, founder of Amalgam Collection.
Working closely with Ferrari, the team ensures each model reflects the buyer's unique preferences, from paint samples to leather swatches, making the 12Cilindri replica a true symbol of individual style.
If the 1:8 scale version is beyond reach, Amalgam also offers a smaller, more affordable 1:18 scale model for US$1330 (NZ$2130) - an entry point for those eager to experience Ferrari’s design excellence at a fraction of the cost.
Available now from Amalgam, this 1:8 Ferrari 12Cilindri is an investment in automotive artistry. While you won’t be able to drive it, you’ll certainly appreciate the craftsmanship that brings this iconic supercar to life in miniature form.
