Minichamps Models

About Minichamps

Minichamps was founded in 1990 in Aachen, Germany, and has since become one of the best-known names in collector models, especially for motorsport. It produces officially licensed models in diecast and resin, from affordable 1:43 models to large 1:12 replicas.

Formula 1 Models

Formula 1 is the heart of the Minichamps range. Current cars follow the grid race by race, including Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at McLaren, Max Verstappen at Red Bull Racing, and the Haas team. Historic releases cover world champions such as Lewis Hamilton, Ayrton Senna (including the Senna 30th Anniversary Collection), Nigel Mansell's 1992 Williams FW14B, Fernando Alonso's title-winning Renaults and Jenson Button's 2009 Brawn BGP001, our best-selling Minichamps model.

F1 Steering Wheel Replicas

For something different, Minichamps produces 1:2 scale replicas of the steering wheels used by world champions, including Jackie Stewart's Tyrrell 003, Emerson Fittipaldi's McLaren M23, Niki Lauda's McLaren MP4/2 and Nelson Piquet's Brabham BT52.

Road Cars, GT Racing and MotoGP

Away from F1, Minichamps is known for Porsche 911 models, including the 993 generation in Cabriolet and Turbo form, and for BMW M cars. On track, the range covers GT racing, such as the Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 driven by Valentino Rossi, and Le Mans entries including the BMW M Hybrid V8. Rossi's MotoGP Yamahas are available in 1:12.
