NEW YEAR, NEW MODELS

EXCITING PLANS FOR 2022

The coming year is set to be an outstanding one for Amalgam, with an abundance of exciting models programmed for development and launch in 2022.

Below we share the latest development in the Amalgam Collection range scheduled for 2022, and shed some light on a few of the secret projects that they are currently working on behind the scenes. It’s a more substantial and exciting launch plan than ever before!

CLASSIC RACE

MASERATI 250F: AT 1:8 SCALE

One of the most iconic post-war race cars, raced by two of the greats in Grand Prix history, Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. Moss started his F1 career in a privateer 250F, whilst Fangio took his fifth and final title with the Maserati works team in 1957. The 250F’s life spanned a golden though often difficult and dangerous era of Grand Prix racing, debuting in 1954 and still battling hard in 1960. We have recently digitally scanned and photographed a significant original Maserati 250F and have now began the process of developing a fully detailed model of the car that was raced to an astonishing victory by Fangio at the Nurburgring in 1957. The first 1:8 scale models will be ready for delivery towards the end of 2022.

PORSCHE 917: AT 1:18 SCALE

We are pleased to let you know that models in the first two batches of the 1971 Le Mans winning Porsche 917 models at 1:18 scale are now available to pre-order. Based on the #22 car driven to victory by Dutch driver Gijs van Lennep and Austrian racer Helmut Marko at Circuit de la Sarthe, the Team Martini Porsche finished two laps ahead of its rival John Wyer Porsche and an incredible 29 laps (386km) ahead of the third place Ferrari. The two Porsches at the front were the first cars to cover over 5000km at Le Mans, a record that would stand for 39 years, cementing the 917’s dominance over this era of motorsport.

Originally a project we intended to finish and release in 2021, we can now reveal that we are developing the Bugatti Type 59 at 1:18 scale to sit alongside the our existing model of this extraordinary car at 1:8 scale. Based on the car raced by Tazio Nuvolari at the Monaco Grand Prix on the 2nd of April 1934, the model is being developed using digital scan data from an important example of the Type 59, with race specific details sourced from archive photographs and respected Bugatti experts. The first finished models will be dispatched around mid-2022. This model will be visible on our website from January enabling you to register your interest.

GMA T.50: AT 1:8 SCALE

With our strong connections to McLaren, and having modelled the McLaren F1 and F1 GTR as well as the MP4/4, we are tremendously excited by the opportunity to work with Gordon Murray creating the reference level model at 1:8 of the T.50. The most driver-centric supercar ever built, the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 intends to rewrite the rulebook. Based on the same principles as the Murray-designed McLaren F1 in the 90s, the T.50 features the most advanced aerodynamics ever seen on a road car, the most power dense naturally-aspirated V12 engine ever fitted to a road car and the world’s lightest supercar gearbox, all in a package weighing half a tonne less than the average supercar. We’re excited to be building the T.50 at 1:8 scale, with development already in full swing. Our sample model is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of the year. We will soon add this model to our website to allow customers to register their interest.
