Only 199 units will be constructed.
Ford produced only the GT40 between 1966 and 1969. However, the winning race car made a lasting impression on the motorsports industry. It is still respected and appreciated today. The No. The No. 6 GT40 won the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. A new Amalgam Collection model is a tribute to this winning car. It measures 20 inches (51 cm) in length and required 24 months of research and development to create.
Amalgam will only produce 199 copies of the final model. Amalgam used “the finest quality material” to recreate the car that Jackie Oliver and Jacky Ickx raced 52 years ago. However, the company does not specify the exact materials. You can only see the final product to find out. Amalgam has done a great job. The GT40 looks almost like the real thing.
Each model is hand-built by a small group of craftspeople and takes over 400 hours to complete. Amalgam claims that each model has thousands of precisely engineered components, including castings and CNC-machined metal parts. Amalgam was assisted by the Gulf Oil International and Ford Archive and Heritage department.
Pre-order your model now and pay $13,006 to get it. Although it seems like a lot of money to buy a model, Amalgam’s products offer a higher level of quality and craftsmanship. It looks great, which is difficult to achieve at such a small scale. The Ford GT40 joins other 1/8 scale model racers like Sir Stirling Moss’ Mercedes W196 Monoposto or a Ferrari SF1000. These three models are amazing recreations of Motorsport history.
