This attention to detail and craftsmanship makes the Senna Sempre model a must-have for collectors and fans alike.
Creating a miniature that faithfully replicates the original requires incredible precision and dedication.

This rigorous process ensures that every detail, from the special paintwork to the intricately detailed interior and the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, is perfectly recreated. The result is a stunningly accurate miniature that showcases Amalgam's commitment to excellence.
The full-size McLaren Senna with the Senna Sempre livery will be showcased at the Monaco Grand Prix, offering fans a chance to see this unique car in person. For those looking to own a piece of this automotive art, Amalgam is producing only 30 of these detailed replicas. Priced at $21,385, the miniature McLaren Senna is an exclusive collector's item that rivals the cost of a new Chevrolet Trax, reflecting its exceptional craftsmanship and limited availability.
