Bristol UK – 16th September 2025: Amalgam Collection, the world’s leading creator of hand-built large-scale model cars, is proud to announce its official partnership with Gumball 3000. As part of the Gumball family, Amalgam will travel with the rally to every stop in 2025 from Istanbul to Ibiza, offering Gumballers the opportunity to commission their own car in perfect miniature form.
Working closely under the guidance of Gumball 3000 founder, Maximillion Cooper, Amalgam has developed a unique programme that allows rally entrants to encapsulate the spirit of their 3,000-mile adventure as a unique piece of automotive art. Each car can be created in one of two highly distinctive forms: in pristine pre-rally condition with exacting livery detail, or as a post-rally masterpiece, complete with authentic ‘weathering’ applied by Amalgam’s artists to replicate the dirt, wear and patina picked up over the course of the rally.
Amalgam models are developed over thousands of hours with every detail meticulously crafted to honour the original car. Models take around 4,000 hours to develop from CAD data, scans and photography working directly with the manufacturers to ensure perfection.
Maximillion Cooper, Founder of Gumball 3000, said: “Having Amalgam replicate the Gumball cars adds enormous prestige to each vehicle, and the detail of each model is insane.”
Sandy Copeman, Founder of Amalgam Collection, commented: “In recent years, we’ve seen a surge in collectors viewing cars as art investments, and most of our models are themselves created as limited-edition artworks with only a limited number available. To offer Gumballers the chance to create their rally car in one-off form, especially carrying the patina of the 3,000-mile adventure at the finish line, not only captures the memory of the journey, but also captures the moment in time of that car’s part in a world-famous rally. When applied to a one-off Amalgam model, that story becomes a truly collectable piece of automotive culture.”
