Assembled and finished by hand in the Amalgam workshops, the collectable model of the Sharknose celebrates one of the most dominant cars in the history of motor racing: the Ferrari 156 F1, Scuderia Ferrari's first mid-engined car to be driven in a sports race. Nicknamed "shark nose" because of its sleek design and the angular shape of the front air vents, the single-seater was built for the 1961 season and later went on to win the first Constructors' Championship title, as well as the fifth Drivers' Championship title. The Sharknose is here faithfully reproduced in 1:8 scale – built using archive drawings and a digital scanning of the original vehicle, the model is the result of meticulous craftsmanship featuring painstakingly accurate details and components, thanks to the design, engineering and aesthetic specifications provided by Ferrari. Available in a limited edition comprising only 199 pieces, this collector's item comes in an exclusive packaging that includes a black box, transparent dustproof case and display base in carbon fibre with a polished steel plate engraved with the model's name. Each piece is also accompanied by an information booklet complete with a Certificate of Authenticity.
