$9,400 Bugatti Chiron Engine Replica
 
`

____________https://www.wired.com/story/bugatti-...daily_list3_p4


" The miniaturized power plant is the work of Amalgam, an English company that has produced exact replicas of Formula 1 cars, supercars, and engines since 1985, and cites Fabergé eggs as an inspiration.

Measuring 18-by-nine inches and featuring more than 1,000 parts, the one-quarter-sized replica will look great on your desk. "

I’ve always been fascinated with the painstaking realism of miniaturized replicas. They really are a thing of beauty.

Amazing! I've posted here about this company a while back. Their work is really a notch above anything else.

Funny I was thinking about them lately and toying with the idea of getting one of their models...

I had more something like this in mind...

I've looked at the high res picture of the engine and the level of details is off the chart, you have all the stickets, printing on the joints and serials engraved in the metal.
