AMALGAM COLLECTION REVEAL LIMITED EDITION OF 1:18 SCALE MODELS OF THE $5.1M FERRARI 812 COMPETIZIONE TAILOR MADE

15 Mar 2024
  • What inspires the exclusive 812 Competizione Tailor Made commissioned by Ferrari North America?
  • How does Amalgam Collection ensure precision in crafting the 1:18 scale models of the Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made using original CAD data from Ferrari Centro Stile?

Amalgam Collection has today revealed that they have started development of a Limited Edition of 1:18 scale models perfectly replicating the unique Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made that sold at auction for $5.1m in New York, last October. Limited to 250 pieces, this special Art Car edition is a celebration of the passion and artistry of Ferrari Centro Stile, and will become a much sought-after collectable, especially appealing to Ferrari’s most ardent followers who also appreciate art and design. The creative team at Amalgam anticipate that the edition of models will be completed by their artisans in Autumn 2024. Currently, models in this exceptional edition are only available to pre-order directly from Amalgam Collection.

The new Limited Edition of 250 1:18 scale models follows in the footsteps of the creation by Amalgam of a unique 1:8 scale model last year. The handcrafted 1:8 model was donated by Amalgam Collection and raised significant funding for the Ferrari Foundation, alongside the real car that fetched $5.1 million USD.

Using the original CAD data supplied by Ferrari Centro Stile, Amalgam’s artisans have been able to perfectly recreate the form and every refined detail of the livery of the unique 812 Competizione Tailor Made. The model only received the approval of Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni and his design team once they were fully satisfied with its accuracy of representation.

Sandy Copeman, Founder of Amalgam Collection, commented: “While our models are often described as works of art, and are indeed artistic in their creation, in truth, since they deliver the essence of the cars they represent, ultimately the beauty of our models is dependent on the beauty of the car they capture. In this instance, there is no question that both the car and models are art.”

Inspired by the concept of a blank sheet, which is how the designers at Ferrari Centro Stile start their creative research for every new model, the 812 Competizione Tailor Made is one of just 999 Ferrari 812 Competizione cars built - a limited and extremely exclusive series intended for collectors and enthusiasts of the world's most exciting twelve cylinder. Commissioned by Ferrari North America specifically for the Ferrari Foundation Gala Dinner and Auction, the car has been imagined as one of the now iconic yellow cards on which Maranello designers transfer their first ideas, insights and notes from mind to paper. The design perfectly captures the balance between the flawless technical realization and artistic craftsmanship that originate from Flavio Manzoni’s drawings.

Every 1:18 scale model will measure over 25 centimetres (10 inches) long and will be crafted and assembled in the workshops of Amalgam Collection. Using original CAD data supplied by Ferrari Centro Stile, Amalgam’s artisans will be able to perfectly recreate every refined detail of the unique 812 Competizione Tailor Made, from precisely mixed original automotive paints to accurately match the real car’s matte Giallo Tristate exterior, to an interior that perfectly captures the art inside the real car. The final exquisite touch will be the application of meticulously scaled down artwork in matte Nero DS Sketch.
