It’s Silverstone Classic weekend – a celebration of motorsport’s golden eras – and the model world has answered with a line-up just as diverse. Spark headlines with a blockbuster delivery spanning F1, GT, Le Mans, rally and helmets, while Looksmart, GP Replicas and Top Marques provide headline announcements from Ferrari legends to Lamborghini hybrids and rally icons. Top Speed and TrueScale add their own flair, covering everything from Corvette GT3s to Senna’s Monaco-winning Lotus 99T. Much like the cars circling Silverstone, this week’s mix blends historic pedigree with cutting-edge speed, ensuring collectors have plenty to cheer as summer reaches its stride.
Road Cars – Icons & Innovators
Looksmart leads with a 1:43 model of Ferrari’s charity-donated Daytona SP3 Icona 599+1 in yellow/carbon – the car that achieved a record $26m at auction, now scaled down for your collection. Hot on its heels, the newly revealed Lamborghini Fenomeno V12 hybrid street monster arrives in 1:43.
Rally-inspired road icons also feature strongly with Top Marques’ Ken Block Ford Escort Cosworth Gymkhana “Cossie” cars in both 1:18 and 1:43, plus Martini-liveried Lancia Delta S4s from 1986. Looking ahead, Top Speed confirms the Lamborghini Revuelto and Ford Mustang GTD “Spirit of America” in 1:18 for early 2026.
Rally & Endurance – From Bathurst to Sanremo
Spark anchors the endurance line with the Porsche 963 4th Le Mans 2024 #6 Penske Motorsport (SPK9114), joined by its #4 and #5 teammates. GT action includes the Audi R8 LMS Bathurst 2024 podium finisher, Porsche 911 GT3R Super GT300 2025, Toyota Supras, Honda NSXs and KTM X-Bows.
On the rally front, Tarmac Works expands the 1:64 grid with Fiat 131 Abarth, Escort RS Cosworth and Mitsubishi Evo IV, while Top Marques adds Martini-liveried Lancia Delta S4s and Ken Block’s Escort Cosworths across both 1:18 and 1:43.
TrueScale rounds things out with endurance highlights from Laguna Seca Mustang GT3s and a Corvette Z06 GT3.R for Daytona 2025 to Bathurst-spec Huracans, while Looksmart keeps Ferrari centre stage with 296 GT3s and 499Ps including the 2025 Le Mans winner, in 1:18 and 1:12.
Formula 1 – From the ’50s to the Future
Spark’s drop covers the spectrum: the Red Bull RB21 Japan 2025 winner #1 Verstappen (SPK9594) leads the way, joined by Alpine A524s from Brazil 2024 (Ocon / Gasly), Aston Martin AMR24 (Alonso), Ferrari SF-24 Mexico podium cars (Sainz / Leclerc), and McLaren’s Singapore-winning MCL38 Norris. Racing Bulls and Williams’ Colapinto add modern depth, while Spark’s vintage Honda RA273s from 1966–67 (Ginther, Bucknum, Surtees) nod to history. GP Replicas expands Ferrari’s legacy in 1:12, from Ascari’s 500 F2 (1953) to Hawthorn’s 246 (1958), Surtees’ 158 (1964), Alesi’s 412T2 (1995) and Schumacher’s era-defining cars. Collectors also get fresh 1:5 helmets for Leclerc, Norris and Tsunoda.
What’s Next?
With Silverstone Classic celebrating motorsport heritage this weekend, the model grid is set to keep rolling into autumn. Tarmac Works and Mini GT line up fresh 1:64s, Schuco prepares its 2025 programme of classic VWs and Porsches, Spark continues its Le Mans icons, and Minichamps readies the 2026 BMW M4 GT3s. Add in Looksmart’s Ferrari 499Ps and helmets, TrueScale’s Senna Lotus, and Top Marques’ rally monsters – and the second half of the year looks every bit as full as the Silverstone paddock.
