A summary of the progress with our most recent model projects
Our engineers and artisans have had industrious year so far and, as we approach the final months of the year, our momentum shows no signs of slowing down. We continue to strengthen relationships with iconic marques like Ferrari and Aston Martin while simultaneously increasing the number of developments for partners both new and established behind the scenes. As part of our efforts to keep our loyal clients informed, we invite you to read on as we highlight and share details about our most recent projects.
Engine and Gearbox Replicas
A series of incredibly exciting projects for 2025 will be the advancement of our Engine and Gearbox Replica Collection at 1:4 scale. We are delighted to reveal that we will be modelling the marvellous F140HD from the new Ferrari 12Cilindri, the legendary Tipo 168 Comp V12 Colombo from the Ferrari 250 GTO and the iconic V12 Merlin engine that played a pivotal role in the United Kingdom’s aerial prowess during World War II. Further discussions are taking place with other manufacturers, and we hope to have even more to reveal to you at the start of next year.
Ferrari 12Cilindri Engine and Gearbox
The F140HD engine and accompanying eight-speed DCT gearbox from the 12Cilindri will show every detail of the incomparable 830-cv V12 power unit at 1:4 scale. Once again collaborating with the talented design and engineering teams at Ferrari, we anticipate the initial prototype to be completed in early 2025, with the first batches of production models to follow in the subsequent months. We encourage customers to register their interest with our sales team for this limited edition of just 199 models.
Ferrari 250 GTO Engine and Gearbox
Our meticulously crafted 1:4 scale replica of the Ferrari Tipo 168 Comp V12 Colombo Engine and Gearbox will be designed to showcase every intricate detail of the legendary power unit that powered the iconic 250 GTO. This 2,953cc engine, paired with its five-speed gearbox, is truly a cornerstone of Ferrari’s illustrious history. Not only was this the original engine for Ferrari’s road cars, but it proceeded to power classic icons such as the 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GTO and Daytona. We are delighted to be working alongside the historians at Ferrari Classiche to precisely capture this iconic mechanical marvel at scale. The prototype is expected to be finished in late Q1, with the first customer models slated for delivery shortly after. We encourage customers to register their interest with our sales team for what we are sure will be a model high in demand.
Rolls-Royce Merlin Engine and Gearbox
The British-designed liquid-cooled V-12 piston aero Merlin engine achieved mythical status during the Second World War, powering many of the most iconic Allied aircraft, including the Spitfire, the Hurricane, the Mosquito, the Mustang and the Lancaster. Despite being named after the United Kingdom’s smallest bird of prey, the Merlin would belie its smaller capacity, and moniker, and play a crucial role in the Royal Air Force’s victory in the Battle of Britain and the liberation of Europe. We are very excited to be developing our own version of this iconic engine at 1:4 scale, though, with over fifty variants of the Merlin engine constructed during its lifetime, the exact variant we will be replicating is still under review. Our current expectations are that customers will be receiving their models in Q3. We encourage customers to register their interest with our sales team, as we anticipate high demand for this exceptional model.
Modern GT
Following the recent completion of the Ferrari 12Cilindri and McLaren 750S Coupe and Spider models, it’s been a busy few months for our Modern GT Collection. The 12Cilindri Spider will soon join the line up, and we’re looking forward to sharing the first images of this striking car in Verde Toscana with you within the next few weeks. Development of the Aston Martin Valkyrie and its Spider variant, along with the Lamborghini Revuelto, are nearing completion, with the prototypes for all three projects expected to be approved before the holidays. At 1:18 scale, we have finalised the development of the Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made Art Car and the 12Cilindri Coupe after both have received approval from Ferrari. And finally, following announcements from both Ferrari and McLaren, we can now reveal that we are developing the new F80 and W1 supercar at 1:8 scale. Both projects are already underway, with the first Ferrari models due early next year while the McLaren project is currently delayed awaiting updated data.
Ferrari F80 at 1:8 scale
We have already commenced development of the ground-breaking Ferrari F80 supercar at 1:8 scale, having received the highly confidential CAD data earlier this year. Our limited edition model will be in the launch car specification with its striking Rosso Supercar exterior and a Rosso Ferrari and Nera interior. Our initial prototype is scheduled for completion in Q1 2025, with the first batches of edition models to follow in the weeks after. We have already received the first orders of this model, and bespoke models will be available to the 799 owners of the real car. Speak to our sales team for more information.
McLaren W1 at 1:8 scale
Development of new W1 supercar at 1:8 scale has been quietly progressing for a few months, but we are currently awaiting some amended data from McLaren’s engineers.

Classics
We can reveal the development of a new classic edition at 1:8 scale: the infamous “Little Bastard” of James Dean will be the subject of a special “Man and Machine” figure and model edition. This will be the third such edition, as progress continues on the Tazio Nuvolari edition with the Bugatti Type 59. At 1:18 scale, we are anticipating the first Ferrari F1-89 models to be completed in time for the holidays, whilst the race weathered Porsche 911 RSR, Maserati 250F and Bentley Blower prototypes are all expected to be completed in 2025. Read more details on our website.
Porsche 550 RS Spyder - James Dean Figure Edition
A new project for us at 1:8 scale is the replication of Porsche 550 Spyder chassis 550-0055, more famously known as Hollywood superstar James Dean’s “Little Bastard”. This special ‘Man and Machine’ edition will be limited to just 30 models, capturing the car in its unique state after Dean had taken it to sign writer Dean Jeffries, shortly before his fateful journey to Salinas. We will once again be working alongside our partner studio, a talented team of artists in Venice, to craft the most precise figure of Dean, which will be digitally sculpted and 3D printed before being exquisitely hand-painted. The prototype model of the “Little Bastard” will be finished before the years’ end, whilst we currently anticipate the initial figures to be completed early next year. We are accepting orders now.
Ferrari F1-89 - 1989 Britain - at 1.18 scale
Our prototype models of the Ferrari F1-89, as raced by Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger during the 1989 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, have been approved by Ferrari.

We remain on track to have our first batch of production models in early 2025, with the completed prototype anticipated for completion next month. Register your interest to be the first to know when these models are available.
Maserati 250F - 1957 Germany - at 1.18 scale
During Q3, we successfully completed the first prototype stage, in grey primer, for our model of Juan Manuel Fangio’s 1957 German Grand Prix-winning Maserati 250F.

Register your interest to be the first to know when these models are available.
Porsche 911 RSR Brumos - 1973 Daytona - Race Weathered at 1.18 scale
Our initial prospects for the race weathered model of the iconic Brumos Racing #59 Porsche 911 RSR from the 1973 24 Hours of Daytona were somewhat ambitious, as strong demand for the services of our Bristol workshop has pushed this project back into Q1 2025. Register your interest to be the first to know when these models are available.
Bugatti Type 59 - 1934 Monaco - with Nuvolari Driver Figure at 1:8 scale

We can also now reveal the development of the yellow-liveried Lone Star Le Mans-winning #83 car, also at 1:8 scale, with models programmed for early 2025. We are in the final stages of development for the McLaren MCL38 1:8 scale with the completion of the prototype in grey primer, and now work is focused on exactly replicating the liveries of the cars raced in Miami and Monaco this year.

We are sure this will be of particular delight to fans of Robert Kubica, Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye. Visit our website or speak to our sales team to reserve your model.
Modificata at 1:5 and 1:8 scale
We are offering a bespoke service for owners of the 499P Modificata, replicating specifications of the highest-performance closed-wheel car that Ferrari has ever proposed for non-competitive use on the track. Derived from the car that triumphed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023, the Modificata is essentially an unrestricted 499P, no longer bound by the technical regulations of the World Endurance Championship. We have already received several orders, with the first model scheduled for completion in November. Speak to our sales team to discuss your specification.
