AUTOart 1:18, 1:43 and 1:64 metal and composite models with opening parts
In the international high-end static model collecting scene, the AUTOart brand is an absolute benchmark for the engineering and development of replicas featuring full-opening parts technology. Founded in 1998 by Gateway Global Ltd. based in Hong Kong, the brand stands out in the industry for integrating advanced industrial processes and operating its own dedicated production facility in Dongguan, China, a choice that allows total control over millimeter-precise fitment and component fidelity.
On LF Models, you will find a selection of AUTOart replicas available for immediate delivery, carefully chosen for their exacting craftsmanship and high collectible value on the secondary market.
The history and industrial evolution of AUTOart
From its inception, the brand has established itself on the global market by reproducing both World Rally Championship (WRC) and FIA GT competition cars as well as the most exclusive contemporary road-going supercars.
Over the years, the product range has been structured into precise quality series, including the Performance line for standard road models, the Millennium line focused on classic and historic cars from the 1960s and 1970s, and the prestigious Signature line, characterized by a higher number of components and certified limited editions.
Technological transition: the Composite (ABS/Die-cast) patent
Starting in 2015, AUTOart introduced a radical structural innovation by replacing traditional die-cast metal with the patented Composite technology. This mechanical architecture combines an internal load-bearing frame and mounting points made of die-cast metal (zinc-plated zinc) with an outer bodywork molded from high-strength acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymers.
This mix of materials makes it possible to reduce panel thickness, eliminate the casting imperfections typical of metal, and achieve opening gaps (between the doors, hood, and trunk) reduced to fractions of a millimeter, faithfully replicating the appearance and brilliance of the real car.
What does AUTOart produce?
The brand's official catalog focuses on the reproduction of modern, ultra-high-performance cars, motorsport icons, and automotive engineering milestones.
The series include official licenses for hypercars and supercars from Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, McLaren, Koenigsegg, and Pagani, alongside a section entirely dedicated to Japanese automotive culture (JDM) with legendary historic reproductions of the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Honda NSX, and Toyota Supra.
