Amalgam Collection has today revealed that it has started developing 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 celebrates Ferrari Centro Stile’s passion and artistry. It 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 anticipates that their artisans will complete the model edition in Autumn 2024. Currently, models in this exceptional edition are only available to pre-order directly from the Amalgam Collection.
The new Limited Edition of 250 1:18 scale models follows in the footsteps of Amalgam’s creation of a unique 1:8 scale model last year. The handcrafted 1:8 model was donated by the Amalgam Collection and raised significant funding for the Ferrari Foundation, alongside the actual car that fetched USD 5.1 million.
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 delighted 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 the car and models are art.”
The Real Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor-Made 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 highly 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 balances Flavio Manzoni’s drawings’ flawless technical realization and artistic craftsmanship.
The Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made at 1:18 Scale
Every 1:18 scale model will measure over 25 centimetres (10 inches) long and will be crafted and assembled in the workshops of the 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 actual car’s matte Giallo Tristate exterior to the interior that perfectly captures the art inside the actual vehicle. The final exquisite touch will be the application of meticulously scaled-down artwork in matte Nero DS Sketch.
Amalgam and Ferrari – a Partnership of Over 25 Years
Amalgam‘s astonishingly realistic and deeply detailed large-scale models are already widely recognized by Ferrari owners worldwide, and this special edition deepens the close cooperation between Ferrari and Amalgam, which has flourished since 1998.
“The passion and artistry that Ferrari brings to creating the most exciting cars in the world ignites an equal passion in the team at Amalgam to create models that deserve their place alongside the beautiful works of engineered art emerging from Maranello,” Copeman adds.
