Nope, this is not a scam but a real 100-percent real deal. Yes you can buy a brand new Ferrari SF90 for £9,910. But there is a proviso. If you want to buy that brand new Ferrari for £9,910 you will have to develop human shrinking technology because this particular Ferrari is a 1:8 scale model. This isn’t a cheapo knock-off toy, it is a totally hand-crafted, hyper-accurate, and highly detailed model by Amalgam Collection. The Bristol based company started off life in the early 1980s making architectural models for demanding London-based clients. And if you know anything about architecture, I happen to do, architects are experts in making highly detailed models.

Anyway, Amalgam soon transferred its skills into making detailed prototype models for Formula One teams and formed client relationships, notably with Ferrari. And Ferrari only works with the very best. Amalgam subsequently developed relationships with other luxury car manufactures. Although I am pretty sure you will not be able to buy an Amalgam Collection Renault anytime soon. 

Amalgam is a full-time model maker of bespoke limited edition collections. They have become trusted partners of premium automotive brands. For example, Ferrari will provide CAD models to enable Amalgam’s expert model makers to precisely engineer parts down to a millimeter scale. And the attention to detail is extended to the interior and engine bay. That ‘leather’ faced interior uses real leather.

Ferrari will even provide colour codes to ensure Amalgam’s Ferrari collection exactly matches the paint finish of the production car. The Amalgam Collection Ferrari SF90 is limited to 199 examples. It took over 3,000 hours to develop and each example will take 300 hours to build. If you can’t afford a Ferrari and really want one, buy an Amalgam Collection scale model.

That being said, we’re still going to have to rob the local bank. We’re journalists subsisting on micro wages. An Amalgam Collection 1:4 scale Ferrari SF71H is currently for sale with a whopping £21K asking price.
