Ferrari’s new 12Cilindri is a nod to the iconic V12 Ferraris of the past, as its name implies. The car’s long hood and short rear are reminiscent of classic grand touring models like the 275 and Daytona, blending retro aesthetics with contemporary performance and technology. Under the hood is Ferrari’s F140 V12, the same engine we saw in the 812 Competizione. A total of 819 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque is delivered through an 8-speed Magna PT dual-clutch transmission. Ferrari claims the 12Cilindri does 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph.
A blend of cutting-edge technology & refined design: Ferrari 12cilidri
For those of us in the general populace who don’t have the $464,000 to afford such a marvel of modern machinery. The team at the Amalgam Collection has us covered with a desktop-scale version of the Ferrari 12Cilindri because a model in your hands does a little more for the mind than a poster on a wall.
Tailored to meet modern demands
The handcrafted model is available as a coupe or spider in either a 1:8 or 1:18 scale featuring a Rosso Imola paint job paired with a Blue Sterling interior. The larger of the two comes in at $18,220 or $25,510 for a bespoke configuration à la Porsche Paint-to-Sample. The 1:18 carries a lower price point of $1,330.
Amalgam continues to push boundaries in delivering high-quality, reliable solutions for its audience
The incredibly intricate models are the astonishing result of 300 hours of build time and 3000 hours of development for the 1:8 scale. Amalgam employs the use of photo etchings and CNC-machined metal components to allow even the most precise detail to shine through. According to Sandy Copeman, Amalgam’s founder, the company works hand-in-hand with Ferrari to produce these models, even having access to the CAD files that the Italian marque uses when manufacturing the full-size vehicle.
A five-figure price tag for a model car may seem outlandish, and that’s a reasonable viewpoint to have when most monthly house payments are a fraction of that. However, according to Copeman, 20-30% of customers who buy an Amalgam model like this also own the real thing, making the cost relatively modest in their eyes.
Only 199 examples will be built with deliveries set to start in early 2025, even earlier than the real Ferrari 12Cilindri.
