You are spending $7000 and not even the doors open, then thats pretty bad
The most I'd spend is $1,200. They should have at least made the engine cover open. People who buy this can find better stuff cheaper. At this gigantic scale, I don't understand why they won't put ONE opening part.
It's a real joke
@@largol33t1 I ordered a Paudi 1/18 model of an Infiniti Q60 from Ebay for 95 pounds, and its 5 times better than this.
Everything opens, even the fuel cover...
@@largol33t1 the wheels don't move either
Waste of money my opinion!
I don't mean to offend anyone, but for 1:8 resin with no any opening parts, no any light function, no rotate wheel, no turning wheel, $7500 is way too much, I don't care if it is handmade in England or very limit production. With $900 I can buy Pocher 1:8 resin or exoto 1:10 diecast model. Or $1300 for Kyosho 1:8 model kit, which in my opinion they all just as good as Amalgam.
Amalgam should as least give a luxury outer box and luxury display case/base, just like when u buy a expensive swiss watch. To me is just like a BBR or spark's 1:18 quality with much bigger scale only. Is way over price.
Newman8881 Want a shocking fact ? Amalgam models gets assembled in China so they probably don't even cost them 1/3rd the prices they sell to produce a model ! I got in touch with them the other day inquiring about where do they craft their models and they confirmed that they have 3 factories in the UK , Hungary and the China assembly takes place , I really appreciate their honesty though .
Yep, Pocher all the way. But let's face it, even that is stupid money. I bought and spent 8 months building a Pocher Alfa 30 years ago. Still have it and respect the detail and quality. By the way, I bought mine in 1978...at Sam's Club for 53.95. No lie. Leather seats and all.
@Pat Garvey - I purchased a Pocher 1907 Fiat GP car in Florida sometime in the mid seventies at a K-Mart for $40.00!! I think the list price was around $150.00 but the importer, Tyco Toys, went bankrupt and unloaded these at a ridiculous price. I actually purchased one in the early seventies for full price and assembled and detailed it before giving it to one of my insurance agents. Then I built the second one for me!
No, you have some really great points. Heck, you could go to Wal-Mart and spend around $30 on a diecast model that has all of those features! 😄 Won't look as detailed as this, but it will still look cool.
Amen brother!
this kinda makes me feel how much value for money we used to get when hot wheels were doing their 1/18 ferraris under the hot wheels elite brand until about 7 years ago.
Fully opening diecast, but with fabric seat belts, photoetched belt buckles, carpeting, perforated grille mesh, all the good stuff you see on this Amalgam but smaller and all for 100 dollars per model.
The diecast industry has moved on from those days, today the market is flooded by sealed models in that same price range and even autoart has moved on to plastic instead of metal.
Only bburago and maisto have remained in the budget segment, but you dont get any of the above mentioned in that price range, but at least the models are fully opening and can be picked up at 15 dollar in american costco or sams club stores.
If it were diecast and had opening parts, engine and suspension detail, it could be worth $3,000. $6,720 is not just over priced.....it's insanely over priced. I can't see this company staying in business long with these resin bodied, non-functional models. I'll take my 20 car CMC Diecast collection, many of which have more than 1,800 hand assembled parts, exquisite stainless steel spoked wheels on machined aluminum rims, working suspension components, incredible engine and suspension detail, leather upholstery, miniature acorn nuts on the cam covers, etc. All that detail and not in big, 1:8 scale, but 1:18 scale! The most expensive one is just over $500. By the way, I have Amalgam's 1:12 scale Lotus 49 and while it is lovely, I was somewhat disappointed when I received it and gave it a good looking at. Sorry, but not worth $1,000.
You can get a remote control version of this car which is a 1:7 scale for $50, the headlights even work.
wow 7 grand for a model that doesn't even open to show the engine? man fuck that. with that kind of money you could literally rent the real car in Los Angeles for almost a week.
Nothing opens, no functioning lights... Worth no more than 100$.
Chill out lmao!
real leather etc. , so its worth way more than 100 + its handmade
Zenek Bombalina and the cars parts deform over time
Matthew Min citation??
Zenek Bombalina it rare though can you see the number ?
Bburago or Maisto everything opens for under $200...
hmmm I'm all in for the price of a model but I think it should be functional, like exoto or something. Still congratz on the buy
0_0 even the doors do not open, wheel discs - plastic ... so yeah -(
habib_Vladimir and the parts deform over time
They should deform overtime for buying that lol
Matthew Min says who?? Do you own one or just talking shite??
Honestly, if I was going to splurge a few grand on a scale model I think I would go for something like this:

Lol
I'd rather look at a pile of cash
Guys, not all car models’ door can open. It is expensive as a SOUVENIR so stop hating. Also, if you are still complaining on this page, I would like to see you create something better than this. It’s real leather -I won’t expect you to ever get THAT.
I appreciate Amalgam models and there are some beautifully detailed outstanding ones out there (The Bentley Blower or the Mercedes W196 ). Sadly this one is not one of them. All details look very mediocre considering the asking price, and to make it worse nothing functions, doors and hood doesn't open. A rip-off in my opinion and should not be costing more than 1000 bucks at the max.
i could buy a E36 M3 from CL for that money :|
Christian Castro you’re poor as shit. These stuff are for car enthusiasts who already own the original car.
Herr Richtig your funny
Very nice model but outlandishly over priced. I don't see it as "insanely detailed" This should retail for about $500 rather then the $6,720.
I saw the Fontiart Koenigsegg One:1 in 1/8, and it's amazing. It makes this look like a toy, and retails for less.
I'd much rather get an AUTOart for $200 to $300 then waste $7,500 on this car when nothing even opens! What a waste.
I'd honestly say that Autoart are better quality in terms of detail.
I'm sorry but $7,500 is way too much to pay for something that does not have functioning doors and such. What is the point in the detail if you cannot display it properly?
it is beautiful but nothing opens
For $7,500 you can buy a decent used sports car and that takes you from point A to B...
LetsCodeStuff and maybe he can afford a new sports car as well? Not everyone is poor..
model cars is considered as art . it's value will rise after some years
10-15k for the doors to open? You have that for 15usd on amazon.
This is amalgam not autoart or norev amalgam is limited and handmade so do your comment after read this!!!
very nice but very expensive model...would also like to add on Amalgam in my collection ;)
SC&DC Sports cars and diecast Channel I personally prefer \ recommend MR collection models.
is it really worth the 7500?
Jorge Chávez haha definitely not id rather buy tons and tons of rare autoart lamborghinj
Samuel Lee I'd rather buy a motorcycle
Hope not i payed mine 25$ and everything opens.
No! All you pay here is work hours. It's a real joke.
No
For $7000,it should start and run
I wonder how much these Models of Amalgam Weigh? .. I dont get any info.. not even at Amalgam homepage .. Poor shit .
I would have serious buyer regret over that one for sure.
Why no an Exoto/CMC models ?
Very underwhelming given the price tag
I would say this car for its price is probably about right since 1:8 scale models aren't very common plus it has leather and is hand built, but some of these people in comments section are stupid, who cares if it doesn't have opening parts since most of the time you would just be looking at the outside most of the time.
I just saw detailed photo of an Amalgam F430 coupe, which costs over $10,000 usd. The brake rotors and calipers look very plastic like and cheap and the brake rotor holes are not even drilled through...what a shame...
it's cool I just like the idea of unboxing
Incredible!
Looks a bit plastic
just so 1 It's actually resin.
Beautiful model, but extremely overpriced. Pocher 1:8 models that cost around $500 are far more realistic with way more detail. The doors, hood, and engine cover all open. Even the gas cap, the seats, and the mirrors are functional.
They could have brought a real car at least then they would have opening doors and lights all my 1:12 are detailed like that with opening parts - and I didn't spend 1/25 of that amount smh
Which one do you have
The wheels look plasticy. I would've thought they could recreate the metal sheen, with the amount of funding they have at disposal. No opening parts is shocking.
What'd be the price if Amalgam made Mercedes 600 Pullman of CMC; any ideas? :)))
These Amalgram models may look perfectly to scale, but there are many details that look plastic. The wheels are frankly not good enough. The door shut lines look better on a Kyosho 200 dollar model. The doors don't even open! It's not as if they don't have space to get things right!
If this thing is so "realistic" with the real leather and seat belts and all that... For that price... Everything better open. Doors, engine cover, trunk, gas cap... And it better have working lights. I saw a model McLaren the other day that had working lights and it was, IIRC in the 700 dollar range. This is a rip-off. But as long as you're happy with it. Just don't be surprised when you show it off and people think you got ripped off.
Edit: just decided to look at other videos and saw an episode of Jay Leno's Garage where they have a representative from Amalgam showing off several models for Jay. They have a Ferrari LaFerrari with all moving parts and carbon fucking fiber in the engine bay and he quotes the price at $6,000.

Check at about 4:45 for price quotes.
You could get a Subaru Impreza and tune it and go as fast as a real Ferrari for that price...
And it doesn’t even have opening parts...
Waaay too overpriced
If I ever see you in going to smack you for buying this
Wooow Just Amazing!🔥🔥🔥
thousands of dollars for this and the shield are just painted and not actual metal shield?
Amalgam models are for those who actually owns a real car like the model
I think assembling a Ferrari Granturismo Enzo DeAgostini 1/10 is better then wasting that much money for a resin model, either way the 1/10 model has working headlights..
Rip off, kyosho makes a 1:18 and larger 1/12 models that more accurate and open doors hood and rear. This is another more money than brains club must have. But, it does match the crap Ferrari’s that are made and the suckers that buy them motif
I don't understand how this is 7k. 100 dollars max on a good day.
Overpriced as always but looks cool. I am sure any model car which cost $7000 should look cool 😂
Is there any difference between this brand and Autoart?
Hay alguna diferencia entre esta marca y Autoart?
Seriously? Amalgam models take about 400 hours to build, and are hand made and finished by professional modelmakers. AutoArt models are mass produced by factory workers.
Wrong instrument cluster. They put the one on the 360 Modena (with the silver trim). There was no such thing on the F430. Lol!
i‘m not impressed for this price .It Looks like a 300€ modell
Disappointed that the valve stem cap is not black. Oh well, nice model anyway
doors dont open for $7k not acceptable.
That is really cool.
Details are amazing but not worth the price to not have any parts only.
It looks like a cheap toy... I build models from kits, that look a hundred times more scale than this piece of garbage. Mine look exactly like the real thing. They could have at least tried to use carbon fiber, or at least photo etch metal parts. Not at all worth $7k. There are professional model builders on eBay selling assembled models, for around $300-$1000, that in a photograph, you can't differentiate between the model and the real thing. The plastic brake rotors on this model look like a Tonka truck. They at least could have tried black plastic to simulate carbon rotors... Not that grey fake steel.
No offence but I would never spend that much money on a car model no matter how much I love car models
Ok, so for the fuckin $7k you shelled out for that goddamn thing, they go as far as not only accurately recreating every single button but they actually UPHOLSTER THE GODDAMN SEATS WITH REAL LEATHER. But, after all that work, all those details hit... Having doors and an engine cover that open is a step too far... Honestly, I could see missing some detail in the engine as a way to mitigate costs, but THE FUCKING DOORS THO... THAT is some bullshit.
Honestly I think I’d rather take the 7500 and put it on a down payment for a real one…. Like a tenth of the way from having a real one that the doors open the lights work and you can even sit in it and DRIVE it
I'd like to blow it up with a block buster...and film it..😆
I had the chance to buy a real ferrari 400 gt for less than the price of this model
Yes, it’s a beautiful model, BUT !!! Seven grand, yikes !
Amalgam, do you see this middle finger? For your price tag only. :))))) Ridiculous...
Buy a smaller one with more alot more opening features
6,720 just for a scale model??????? HORRYYYYY SHETT!!
Nice but I think you got ripped off.
Complete waste of money
7000 grand! I've seen 2 real ferrari 400gt's for less than that . Granted they were shit boxes but still a real ferrari for less than a plastic model
Almost 7000$ and no open doors????damn...
Nothing opens, no functioning lights and you still buy that thing? Idk how u even get money with that kind of choices...
I dont know honestly, it looks nice but not much better than Autoart models, which are 20-30 times cheaper.
Having froze & copied the pic at 2:31 of the leather seat, the stitching looks like stitching from a quick glance but there's no stitching at all, just dimples in the material which fool the human eye into thinking there is stitching, plus the dimpled effect is way over scale, look at some real seats. Nice but truly very expensive big boys toy.
With that amount of money you could buy a real car.. rather than a bad model..
To have a Ferrari f40 spider of 7500 dollars that doesn't open is like having a beautiful and expensive wife that never undresses. You will always be missing something...
what a joke for 7k!
Doors and hood don’t even fucking open????? That’s really shitty.
7,500$ and nothing opens? Fuck that.
6700$???? 2Million HUF???
Holy shit not worth it
Should have spent that money on a luxery watch, watch the the investment.
Resin? Seriously?
too expesive and only a miniature. you must be rich.
Not trying to be rude but, no opening doors, no opening hood, parts look very plasticky and badly recreated. I think that a Ferrari from Auto art looks much more real than this. The leather seats look good, other than that, I would not pay $500 for it.
this costs more than my car and the doors don't even open smh
I have only just discovered the brand of models, I have been building models and have worked for several model company's, this is a terrible model for that amount of money, you can see by the way its packed for starters, I'm sure there good at what they do but this really is a bad advert for them.
Very cool.... you be subbed
l bought this car with 60 dollars
Hay que ser tonto para gastarse ese dinero en una resina sellada...
c'mon dude don't touch that car wihout gloves!
I can get a power wheel for that
thats worth 1k-3k
garage toy for rich
Really nice model no doubt, beautiful plastic so sorry resin model !!!
My 1:12 bugatti vision by looksmart looks way better and way cheaper than😱😁😷 this model, 7000 and you can't open nothing smh
Seven grand and the doors, hood and trunk don't even open??? YOU GOT ROBBED CHIEF!!!...lol.
for nearly $7000 you could rent the real car for a whole week! you could make many youtubes as you want of the car!
I really like the way he says"that's actually on the inexpensive side"like a big bragging idiot! That is an unbelievable fuckin' waste of money! That only means he would much rather have bought the FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR one and be three times as stupid! What a major ripoff!
Put some fingerprints all over it!
