We are excited to introduce a new special edition of race weathered models: the Ferrari 250 GTO at 1:18 scale. Each model in this limited edition of 250 models is based on chassis 3705GT, as raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 23rd and 24th of June 1962 by Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet. Every model has been meticulously hand-painted and detailed by our master model makers to show every detail of the race dirt as seen during one of the #19 car’s final pit stops. Every order will be accompanied by an archive quality Giclée print of the car during that pit stop, selected by Amalgam from the Motorsport Images collection.

The artistry applied to these 250 models exemplifies our commitment to creating beautiful hand-made pieces which fully capture both the spirit and precise appearance of iconic race cars. The original model was developed using data from a digital scan of an original Series 1 Ferrari 250 GTO, and the subsequent prototype model has been scrutinised by Ferrari Classiche to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

The Ferrari 250 GTO is the ultimate expression of the 250 GT series, blending performance, style, and racing pedigree. Powered by a 2,953cc Columbo V12 and a 5-speed gearbox, with a Scaglietti-designed body on a 250 GT chassis, it remains both a race winner and a legitimate road car. Its iconic status is reflected in record auction prices, with chassis 3413 GT selling for $48.4 million in 2018.

Developed in secrecy by Giotto Bizzarrini, the 250 GTO first raced at Monza in 1961, earning the nickname ‘Il Mostro’ due to its rough prototype body. After Bizzarrini’s departure, Sergio Scaglietti refined the design, creating the final, iconic shape used throughout the 36-car production run from 1962 to 1964.

This fine 1:18 scale model is of chassis 3705GT exactly as raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 23^rd and 24^th of June 1962 by Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet. 

This fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari 250 GTO has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of an original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

The race weathered Ferrari 250 GTO at 1:18 scale is limited to just 250 pieces.

Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.

Handling Race Weathered Models

Please note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling. We recommend you keep handling to a minimum to avoid removing the weathered effects from the model. When handling the model, please adhere to the instructions included with the product when purchased. The brush featured in the gallery is included purely for demonstrating the scale of the model. We do not advise any cleaning of our weathered models as this may remove some of the weathering applications.
