The South African-only Alfa Romeo GTV6 3.0 is more than just a special edition – it’s the ultimate evolution of the GTV6. With its...

Pre-production of the first Ikonikar releases is now only weeks away. Final assembly will take place in our White Room, where a small team will hand-assemble these delicate 1/64 scale models before they are packaged and shipped worldwide.

The White Room is located inside a bigger facility in Randfontein, South Africa, with space for modular expansion when needed.

In the White Room the various part streams, consisting of metal bodies and chassis, plastic interiors, windows, lights and other trim pieces, rubber tyres and highly detailed decals will merge.

The windscreen grille of Ikonikar's P0001 release. Very delicate, very detailed. Would have been far easier to do a less detailed grille incorporated into the metal body, but that would result in a far less authentic product. This 3D-printed part is one of many to elevate our product design.

Things are starting to take shape. Not long to go no before P0001 has its public debut.

Yes, we have missed our self-imposed deadline, but things are progressing nicely on the development of our first 1/64 scale product.

This is an early prototype of P0001, being fitted with wheels and tyres and being used for interior fitment.

DUE in 2025.

90% there. This is our first wheel & tyre unit. The rubber is soft and grippy and features a visible tread pattern. It also has a groove inside that helps it fit tightly to the highly detailed, chrome painted rim. The axle head doesn't go through the rim, allowing for a far more authentic wheel finish. Can you guess the car this will be fitted to?

It will be our first release, code-named P0001.

Interested in our locally-made 1/64-scale display case? It takes 48 cars and puts them on stunning view behind a crystal-clear cover that also protects them from dust. Comes with pre-cut holes, a spirit level and the necessary screws and plugs for wall mounting. DM us for more details. Made in Cape Town, South Africa.

NOTE: This product has since been updated and improved.

Something exciting is coming... our first prototype 1/64 scale display unit fresh from the factory. Comes with pre-cut mounting holes, screws/wallplugs, suckers to carefully remove the lid and even spacers. Space for 48 cars. Still a few tweaks to make though. Proudly made in Cape Town, South Africa.

Our prototype has since been updated and is in production. The inner shelves are no longer removable, greatly improving rigidity and we have made the space for the cars bigger.

Visited a local (Cape Town) diecasting firm to learn more about this industry. Very interesting indeed. Surprised by how quickly the metal solidifies and sets!

We will soon embark on our own local manufacturing journey.
