Discover Inaltera Model cars
My Inaltera Model car collection invites you to discover one of the most confidential and fascinating brands in French automotive history. These faithful reproductions capture the essence of a unique industrial adventure that marked the 1970s and 1980s, a time when French automotive innovation explored new aesthetic and technical territories.
A specialist dealer at your service
As a specialist retailer, I offer a selection of Inaltera Models that is regularly updated based on market arrivals and availability. This collection reflects my current stock rather than an exhaustive catalogue, which ensures the freshness of the models offered and their immediate availability.
The majority of the models presented are in 1/43rd scale , the reference scale for collectors, allowing a perfect balance between detail and size. You will also find some remarkable pieces in 1/24th and 1/18th scale for fans of larger models, as well as some references in 1/87th scale (HO scale) for model railway enthusiasts.
Each model is available in limited quantities , usually between 1 and 2 copies. This rarity reflects the very nature of Inaltera vehicles: automobiles produced in small series which today retain all their exceptional character.
A multifaceted collection
This collection brings together Inaltera's various creations, from daring prototypes to limited-edition models. You'll discover revolutionary concept cars that made their mark at motor shows, as well as sports vehicles with the futuristic lines typical of the 1970s .
The models span a variety of categories: sleek coupes , elegant roadsters , and even a few utility vehicles that showcase the brand's diverse projects. This variety allows collectors to experience every aspect of the Inaltera adventure.
The fascinating story of Inaltera
Inaltera was born in the 1970s from the vision of French designers who wanted to create resolutely modern automobiles. This confidential brand distinguished itself with its avant-garde creations, blending Italian influences and French know-how in creations with pure and futuristic lines.
Inaltera's philosophy was based on an artisanal approach to automotive manufacturing, prioritizing quality of finish and originality of design over mass production. This unique approach resulted in unique vehicles, often produced in very small series, which explains their rarity today.
Inaltera's creations reflect a time when the French automotive industry was exploring new aesthetic paths, drawing inspiration from Italian design codes while maintaining a distinctly French identity. This cultural synthesis is reflected in every line of their vehicles.
A brand with visionary creations
Inaltera's most notable achievement lies in its ability to anticipate automotive trends. Their designers imagined shapes and technical solutions that would not be adopted by the automotive industry until several years later. This forward-looking vision makes Inaltera a little-known precursor to the modern automobile.
Some Inaltera prototypes featured remarkable innovations: composite bodywork, pioneering LED lighting, and futuristic interiors that looked like they came straight out of a science fiction film. This revolutionary approach explains why Inaltera model cars fascinate collectors so much today.
The brand also maintains close ties with the world of French industrial design in the 1980s , a period of creative effervescence when the boundaries between automobiles, design and art were blurred.
