About AUTOart
AUTOart is a Hong Kong-based manufacturer that has been producing premium model cars since 1998. The brand built its reputation on accurate proportions, fully detailed interiors and engines, and opening panels that let you explore the car the way you would the real thing. Many of its models are officially licensed and approved by the car makers themselves, including Porsche and Lotus.
Composite Construction Explained
Most current AUTOart releases are composite models, combining diecast metal parts with precision-moulded high-grade plastic. Composite allows thinner, sharper panels, tighter shut lines and finer detail than an all-metal body, while keeping a satisfying weight in the hand. Earlier releases were produced in diecast metal, so both types appear across the brand's catalogue. See all composite models across every brand.
Popular AUTOart Makes
AUTOart is strongest on modern performance cars. Its range includes Lamborghini (Huracán, Aventador and Countach), McLaren, Porsche, Bugatti, Koenigsegg and Pagani, plus the Ford GT in road and Le Mans racing form.

Opening Features and Detail
A typical AUTOart model has opening doors, front boot and engine cover, a fully detailed engine bay and interior, and working wheels. Depending on the car, you may also find a removable hard-top, an opening or working rear spoiler, or opening tailgates. Paint finishes are matched to the manufacturer's official colours, which is why the same car is often offered in several shades.
