Amalgam has launched the Ferrari Amalfi Spider at 1:8, 199 pieces in Rosso Tramonto, and says a Giallo Montecarlo version limited to nine is close behind. AUTOart has the Diablo SE 30th Anniversary in five colours, Minichamps has Lando Norris’s Hungarian Grand Prix winner in 1:18, ACME has shown the first photos of the 1967 King Kong GTX, and Mini GT has Tilly Masterson’s Mustang from Goldfinger. Spark has twenty-five new references out at once. Reference numbers, prices and dates are given where the manufacturers published them.
Amalgam: the Ferrari Amalfi Spider at 1:8
Launched on 18 September: the Ferrari Amalfi Spider in 1:8, finished in Rosso Tramonto over a Blu Lipari interior, limited to 199 pieces. Amalgam says the model is 58 centimetres long, built from original Ferrari CAD data, paint codes and material specifications, and put together from thousands of parts — castings, photo-etch and CNC-machined metal. The company quotes more than 3,000 hours of development and more than 300 hours to build each one. No price was published in the launch.
Amalgam is taking registrations of interest now. Amalgam also offers its Tailor Made service on this car, which builds a replica of an owner’s own specification.
Rosso Tramonto — sunset red — is a new Ferrari colour, and launching a 1:8 model in the colour the car itself launched in is the kind of thing only a maker with direct access to Maranello can do. Nine pieces in yellow is not a limited edition in the usual sense. It is a waiting list.

AUTOart: the Diablo SE 30th Anniversary, five colours
- 79150 — Verde Mic
- 79156 — Blu Sirena
- 79157 — Giallo Spyder
- 79158 — Viola SE30
- 79159 — Deep Black Metallic
AUTOart’s own promotional shot paints one car in all five colours, door by door, which is a neat way of showing the range.
The SE30 was built to mark Lamborghini’s thirtieth anniversary in 1993 — lighter than the standard Diablo, more power, rear-wheel drive only, and around 150 made. Viola SE30 is the colour everyone associates with it and will be the one that goes first. Verde Mic and Blu Sirena are the more unusual choices and arguably the better-looking ones.
First pics of the 1958 Lincoln Continental MKIII Elvis Presley in 1:18 by Sun Star
Minicahmps 537253104 — the McLaren MCL39, Lando Norris, winner of the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, 1:18.
Hungary 2025 was McLaren’s two-hundredth Grand Prix win, with Oscar Piastri second behind him. For collectors building a Norris championship-year set in large scale, this is one of the cars that matters.
ACME: first photos of the King Kong GTX
A1806706 — the 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX “King Kong” ad car, Dar
k Blue Poly with yellow stripes and a fully detailed 426 Hemi. MSRP $144.95, ETA December 2026 to January 2027, production estimated at 426 pieces.
This is the car from Plymouth’s launch advertising for the GTX, the year the Street Hemi went into the Belvedere — “They don’t call it King Kong for nothing.” Limiting it to 426 pieces is a nice touch. The first sample photos show the stripes and the engine bay the way the ads did, and that is what a buyer of this one is paying for.
MotorHelix: a Monte Carlo Evo IV
M84008 — the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR in a Monte Carlo number 1 livery, 1:18, limited to 599 pieces, delivery late October 2026. No price published.
MotorHelix has been working through Japanese performance cars with a care usually reserved for European ones, and the Evo IV is the car that turned the Lancer from a rally homologation special into the thing people put on bedroom walls.

GT Spirit: a violet 964 30 Jahre
GT Spirit has shown a sample of the Porsche 911 (964) 30 Jahre in 1:12, in deep violet. No reference number, edition size or date yet; more photos are promised.
The 30 Jahre is one of the cleverer special 911s. Porsche built 911 of them in 1993 for the model’s thirtieth birthday, putting the naturally aspirated 3.6 and four-wheel drive of the Carrera 4 inside the wide body of the Turbo, with no fixed rear wing. Most people have never seen one. At 1:12 the proportions will show clearly.

- WAP02154526GT3 — Porsche 911 (992.2) GT3, number 3, Andial Design, 2025, in 1:18 with a display case
The Genesis cars are the ones to watch. The GMR-001 is Hyundai’s luxury brand going hypercar racing for the first time, and Spark has the press car and both race entries in one batch — the complete story of the car’s first season. Senna’s Detroit win in the black-and-gold 98T is the obvious crowd-pleaser, and a Verstappen car with its own seventy-fifth-win pit board is the kind of detail that sells a 1:43 on its own.
Matrix: a Cadillac hearse, three flower cars and a sixteen-cylinder Maserati
- MX20301-184 — Cadillac Superior funeral car, 1970
- MX20301-411, -412 and -413 — Cadillac Professional S&S Florentine flower car, 1951, three versions
- MX51311-012 — Maserati V4 Sport 16V Spider, 1929
Arriving into stock this week. Matrix has always gone where nobody else will, and the flower car is the purest example of it — a Cadillac commercial chassis built to carry the wreaths at the front of a funeral procession, now almost completely forgotten. Three versions of one says Matrix knows exactly who collects these. The Maserati V4 is the other end of the scale: two straight-eights side by side, sixteen cylinders, Maserati’s record-breaking racing engine of 1929 put into an open two-seater.

Mini GT: Tilly Masterson’s Mustang from Goldfinger
MGT00928 — the 1964 Ford Mustang Convertible from Goldfinger, in four packaging versions, each with period poster artwork:
- MGT00928-007E — English blister
- MGT00928-007F — French blister
- MGT00928-007J — Japanese blister
- MGT00928-007ECH — English, China edition blister
This is the white convertible Tilly Masterson drives over the Swiss passes, until Bond’s DB5 shreds its tyres with the wheel-mounted slashers. It sits naturally next to the DBS and Lotus Esprit Mini GT did in August. Four versions of one car that differ only in the language on the card is a very 1:64 idea, and it will work.
NZG: an AMG GT3 in 1:64
114600002 — the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo 2025 presentation car, 1:64, quoted for the fourth quarter of 2026. NZG is best known for large-scale construction machinery and trucks, so a 1:64 GT3 is a move into new territory for it.
