Billionaires: Save your full-sized Ferrari 12 Cilindri from a life of loneliness! Give it some miniature company in the form of Amalgam Collection's 1:8 scale model, yours for... £13,495 or around P1,013,000. For about the same amount of money, you can also get yourseld a sweet used car like a 2016 Subaru WRX with change to spare for mods.
A big price for a small car. But then there's a lot of work involved. Amalgam takes over 3,300 hours to develop and then hand-craft each miniature Ferrari 12 Cilindri. It then involves rendering, casting and then machining the metal components together.

The result is an admittedly gorgeous replica of Ferrari’s latest V12 grand tourer for your coffee table, or to perch atop the dash of your real-life 12 Cilindri, or to carry around with you in case you forget you own a 1:1 version.
Amalgam - purveyor of the also cool Ferrari 250 GTO and Testa Rossa replicas - says the TinyCilindri can also be built to customers’ specific requirements, so you can ditch the Rosso Imola exterior and Blu Sterling interior and go nuts. On a tiny canvas.
Given that it’s been created with help from Ferrari’s Centro Stile team, you can likely even choose from any number of colourways available from the factory. Though doing so would turn it into one of the ‘Bespoke’ models, which will set you back £18,895 or approximately P1,420,000 instead. That's... that's the price of the very good new car. Like a Toyota Corolla Cross, for instance.
