The Best Model Cars in the World

The team at Amalgam Collection are known in the model car making industry, as the best of the best. They are artists and car design obsessives capturing the style, beauty and every fine detail of the world’s most important and extreme cars.

To create scale replica car models, Amalgam goes to great lengths to get the details right. Modern automobiles are made using original manufacturer CAD data, while the brand digitally scans the best examples of the classics it can find.

Amalgam Collection occupies a unique place in the history of fine car models, fashioning unrivalled examples of the world’s most iconic and luxurious cars at scale. The only maker of model cars that can be considered alongside a maker of fine watches like Richard Mille, they have developed close partnerships with the world’s most important designers, engineers, drivers and manufacturer brands, not only delivering editions of models for their own internal use, but supplying development models, one-offs and displays of every kind. Every one of the models they make, whether it be for a private collector or a world-famous driver is the very best they can achieve with no effort or expense spared. They are continually striving to reach new levels of craftsmanship and to create masterpieces of model-making art with enduring value.

Originally founded in 1985, Amalgam focused on creating fine architectural models for the leading British and German architects of the day, particularly Foster & Partners. Amalgam has been creating fine model cars since 1995, after the founder Sandy Copeman approached the Jordan Grand Prix and Williams Formula 1 teams. Ferrari came on board in 1998 and Amalgam has since developed strong and lasting relationships with the most important manufacturers and teams across the world of car manufacturing, motorsport and design. With the precious data from these partners, using skills developed over decades of experience, they honour their history and their DNA, delivering with passion and taste the authentic spirit of each car.

CREATING PERFECT MODELS

Amalgam models beautifully and precisely capture the entirety of the original, and are impossible to discern from a real car in photographs. To create these perfect scale replicas of modern cars, they use confidential CAD data supplied by the manufacturer and cooperate closely with their design and engineering teams to perfectly replicate the interior and exterior finishes. With regard to classics, in their quest for supreme accuracy and authenticity when it comes to our classic car models, they go to great lengths to locate the best examples of original cars and digitally scan them, capturing the precise shape and proportions of every visible part of the car. They also take around 1000 reference photographs, capturing every aspect and detail of each car in order to completely understand and replicate the finishes and detailing.
