Ferrari scale model is more expensive than a real car
A Ferrari 296 GTB as a scale model, which has been copied down to the last detail. Beautiful, but also terribly expensive.
Scale models come in all shapes and sizes. You can buy a scale model for a few euros, but they are certainly not detailed and nicely finished. At the other end of the spectrum, you have cases like this. A Ferrari 296 GTB scale model that has been recreated in detail. Cost? € 12,062 euros.
This is a 1:8 scale model. Amalgam, the company behind the car, made the model in collaboration with Ferrari. Thanks to the official approval of the Italian car manufacturer, you can expect details that are very accurate to the real car. But you can expect that for such a price.
Only 99 of these are made in total. Each model takes over 300 hours to make. But there have been many more hours in the development of this Ferrari. Amalgam says it took more than 3,000 hours to develop the 296 GTB to this level. You can see that from it, to be honest.
Various Ferrari dealers in Europe have a sample copy. In addition to a standard specification, it is also possible to choose a personal configuration. Of course at an additional cost. That’s how it goes in the world of exclusive stuff.
