Amalgam Collection is known and loved for its scale models of some of the world’s greatest supercars, hypercars, and race cars, created with some of the most incredible craftsmanship in the industry. Made to be painstakingly faithful to their full-size, real-life counterparts, Amalgam Collection models are made to be indistinguishable from real cars if not for a visual indication that it’s much smaller than the real thing. The latest vehicle to be complemented by a scale model from Amalgam Collection is the McLaren W1, the latest hypercar in McLaren’s “1” series.
Succeeding the McLaren F1 and P1, the introduction of the W1 marks a new chapter for McLaren’s racing-bred performance engineering. With over 1,200 horsepower, it boasts an incredible power-to-weight ratio, highly advanced active aerodynamics, and a groundbreaking design. Only 399 units of the McLaren W1 are planned, making it one of the most desirable, exclusive, and innovative hypercars on the market, and Amalgam Collection’s new scale model of the vehicle recreates it in 1:8 scale.
The model is the result of a painstaking total of 3,000 hours of development in direct collaboration between Amalgam Collection and McLaren Automotive. It measures an impressive 22 inches in length, with each hand-assembled model requiring 300 hours of work from Amalgam’s artisans in Bristol. The original CAD designs of the car, as well as original paint codes and material specifications, are used to make the model as close to the real-life car as possible.
With the Amalgam Collection model, owners of the ultra-exclusive McLaren W1 have the opportunity to recreate their exact build specification with a stunningly detailed scale model, and the launch specification matches that of the launch specification for the W1, with a Papaya Spark exterior color. Limited to 199 pieces, the launch specification 1:8 model retails at £14,995. Bespoke “Tailor Made” Amalgam McLaren W1 commissions start at £20,995, offering a unique and precious way to capture the essence of a defining hypercar.
