The Ferrari 296 GTS launched last year is a convertible version of the 296 GTB with a V6 hybrid engine. With a starting price of around $350,000, this would just be a dream for many of us. Thankfully, there’s finally a more affordable version of the supercar that still has the same outstanding quality. Everyone, let’s admire Aмalgaм Collection’s Ferrari 296 GTS model in scale 1:8 with a purchase price of about 14,750 USD.

Sure, this is a lot of money for a scale model but this isn’t just a toy car. What you see in the gallery below – and you won’t mistake it for a real car – is a detailed miniature replica of the original car that Amalgam spent 3,000 hours developing. Using CAD design, the supercar’s original paint code and material specifications provided by the Italian manufacturer. Each of the 199 planned for production will take approximately 300 hours to build with thousands of intricately engineered and fabricated parts, including CNC machined metal parts.

And this is not all. After completing the development of the scale model also using prototype images and drawings from the Maranello-made car manufacturer, Aмalgam sent the final result to Ferrari for detailed examination. The company’s engineers and designers checked every millimeter of the model to ensure complete accuracy in presentation. As a side note, the vehicle is over 22 inches (57 cm) long and each part was assembled by hand by Aмalgam’s team.

Although expensive, this scale model cannot compare to the price of a real supercar. Ferrari wanted about $350,000 before shipping for the 296 convertible, making it 20 times more expensive than Aмalgam’s model. For the same price as the 1:8 Ferrari 296 GTS – more precisely, for $15,250 – you can also buy a 1:4 replica of the Daytona SP3 engine.
