And the ones we design a fireplace wall to accommodate “the biggest tv” for:

A Model Le Mans Experience With Ferrari

$445,000

• The never-to-be-repeated build of an Amalgam Collection 1:4 scale model replicating the Le Mans–winning Ferrari 499P hypercar
• A custom display case featuring a remote control–activated sky
• Ferrari VIP guest status at the 2024 edition of Le Mans, including round-trip airfare, accommodations, and trackside hospitality at Casa Ferrari

This past June, Ferrari finally returned to the world’s greatest car race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, after a 50-year absence—a comeback set against the backdrop of the contest’s 100th anniversary. Guess who won? Maranello’s new 499P hypercar delivered the storybook ending, taking the checkered flag during its first season competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship series. Specializing in automotive models built with exacting detail, U.K.-based Amalgam Collection has agreed to construct a one-off version of the Ferrari 499P in 1:4 scale, which translates to slightly more than four feet in length—a size that Amalgam will never produce again for this specific race car. Highlights of the miniature promise to be the operational interior and exterior lighting systems, as well as the array of dashboard controls and the complex steering wheel. Equally comprehensive, the modeling of the 499P’s hybrid-power-train configuration will be visible by way of the removable engine cover. A black-walnut display case will house the piece and include a remote control–activated artificial sky with selections that mimic the ambiance of moving cloud cover and the track’s nighttime illumination, each highlighting different aspects of the car’s aerodynamically sculptural bodywork.

A certificate of authenticity signed by the champion race car’s three drivers adds to the realism, as does the opportunity to meet some of the team when the buyer—or the lucky recipient—is Ferrari’s VIP guest at the 2024 edition of Le Mans. The package includes round-trip flights, accommodations during the weekend, hospitality at trackside enclave Casa Ferrari, a garage tour, and, of course, the chance to see the actual machine try to replicate its championship performance.

…or just put a bow on one of these. That’s why you are here reading this anyway, isn’t it?…

Ho! Ho! Ho!
