This McLaren Senna in 1:8 scale can be yours for just over 7,000 euros, and the level of detail is impressive

I’m sure that, as true petrolheads, you have a sizeable collection of scale cars on the shelves of your home, which reflect dreams that have yet to come true. Not long ago we told you about the Aston Martin DB5 and the Bugatti Chiron made by LEGO, but today we are going one step further. This is because the McLaren Senna has been recreated by Amalgam Collection, an English manufacturer that offers some of the most meticulously crafted 1:8 scale vehicles in the world, and the hypercar from Woking was not going to be any different.

Let us remember that the McLaren Senna is one of the most exclusive vehicles in the world with just 499 units built for the entire world. It is true that this level of exclusivity can be heightened with the MSO department, as we saw recently with the first unit delivered in the United States, but Amalgam Collection did not want to dishonour its compatriot hypercar and so has put every effort into recreating every detail down to the millimetre.

The first thing that catches our attention is the care that the English manufacturer has shown in bringing the Senna to life at scale. On the one hand, it features original paint supplied by McLaren itself, making the value of this “toy” hypercar even more special. We can also notice all the components finished in carbon fibre, just as in the real model.

This is complemented by further details such as the engine bay, the exhaust system or the carbon-ceramic brake discs, which have blue calipers that perfectly represent what we can see on the McLaren Senna. However, this level of detail would not be possible without a great deal of effort behind it, something Amalgam Collection demonstrates with the 300 hours of work required to build this model at scale and the 3,000 hours of development.

This time invested has been necessary to perfectly represent each and every element that brings the McLaren Senna to life, one of the fastest vehicles in the world. As we have already mentioned, exclusivity is served on a silver platter with this English hypercar, something that stems from its impressive mechanicals and its effectiveness on the tarmac, and Amalgam’s designers have also wanted to demonstrate how unique this model is with its scale recreation.

Its price is 7,675 euros and although it does not come close to the astronomical figure a real McLaren Senna costs, it is equivalent to what we might pay for a city car. This figure can rise if we decide to give our 1:8 McLaren Senna a personal touch, but we should hurry, since it is a limited edition, just like the real model.
