Rats, here it is just a few days before Christmas and there’s that one car guy on your list and you need to buy him a gift. What to do…
Got $10,000?
Well, not that much, just $9500 for a very exact 1:8 scale replica of a Ferrari 250 GTO or pontoon-fender Testa Rossa, a McLaren F1 LM or a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. You saw those models in our coverage of Lauren’s Art of the Automobile show in Paris last summer.
The real cars have been digitally scanned and the models said to be accurate to one-tenth of a millimeter. We’re told model makers spent 3000 hours creating the master model, with each individual model needing 350 hours to assemble. Drawn from silicon rubber molds, the models are then carefully painted, detailed and polished. Made in limited numbers, the Ferraris, McLaren or Bugatti are presented on a wooden base and protected by an acrylic case. Check them out here.
These models sound even better than the Revell kits we finished off as kids, don’t they?
Oh, and if I’m the car guy on your list, I’ll take the Ferrari 250 GTO. Thanks in advance…
