The 1:43 scale model documents a specific chapter in Alpine's 2025 season: the Las Vegas Grand Prix, run on the 6.12 km Strip Circuit on 22 November 2025. Spark Model chose this round precisely because Alpine fielded a race-exclusive pink-augmented livery that differs from the team's standard 2025 black and blue scheme. Pierre Gasly, in his third year with the French constructor, started from tenth on the grid and completed all 50 laps of the 305.78 km race distance.
Alpine A525: ground-effect chassis, Renault V6 power
The A525 is Alpine F1 Team's fifth Formula One entry since the rebrand from Renault, built to the ground-effect technical regulations introduced in 2022. Power comes from the Renault E-Tech RE25, a 1.6-litre direct-injection turbocharged V6 limited to 15,000 RPM, assembled by Mecachrome and mounted rear-mid in the chassis. The complete car tips the scales at 800 kg including driver, running on Pirelli P Zero dry tyres and fuelled by BP, with Castrol lubricants.
The Bold Pink Enhanced livery and the BWT tradition
Alpine's relationship with pink dates to 2022, when the A522 debuted a predominantly pink scheme at the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix to mark the arrival of title sponsor BWT. At Las Vegas in 2025, the team amplified that tradition with what it called the Bold Pink Enhanced livery — vibrant pink panels layered over the standard black and blue base colours. The scheme mirrors the 'Alpink' treatment seen at the end of the 2024 season and is specific to the Las Vegas night race, giving this particular chassis number a visual identity used on no other 2025 round.
Spark Model: resin construction at 1:43
Spark Model produces this release in resin, the material of choice for high-fidelity 1:43 single-seaters where the complexity of aerodynamic surfaces demands a casting medium more precise than zinc alloy. The body is sealed — no opening components — with surface detail concentrated on the car's aerodynamic bodywork, including the ground-effect floor, front wing assembly and rear diffuser. The pit board included with this specific release is not a standard addition across all Spark A525 Gasly variants, making it a contextually accurate accessory for the Las Vegas round.
In the display cabinet
A Formula One car of the 2025 generation measures approximately 5.6 metres bumper to bumper including the front wing assembly; at 1:43 scale that yields a model length of roughly 13 cm, fitting comfortably on a standard shelf without dominating the space. The Bold Pink Enhanced colour scheme reads strongly at this scale and pairs naturally with Spark's A524 Las Vegas 2024 release — the direct predecessor wearing the original Alpink scheme — allowing collectors to display the BWT pink livery lineage side by side. It also sits logically alongside other 2025 Las Vegas GP entries for those building a race-specific grid.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:43 scale model?
A 2025-generation Formula One car measures around 5.6 metres including the front wing. At 1:43 scale that works out to approximately 13 cm in length — compact enough for a standard display shelf, though you will want to allow for the extended front wing when positioning it.
Does the model have opening parts?
No. Spark's 1:43 resin Formula One models have a sealed, one-piece body with no opening doors, engine cover or removable bodywork. Surface detail is concentrated on the aerodynamic elements: the front wing, floor assembly and rear diffuser, along with the Bold Pink Enhanced livery graphics.
What is the pit board accessory and is it unique to this release?
A pit board specific to the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix is included with this model. It is not included in all Spark A525 Gasly releases — for instance, the US Grand Prix variant does not carry this accessory — so it adds display and documentary value tied directly to the Las Vegas round.
What result did Gasly achieve at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix?
Pierre Gasly qualified tenth with a lap time of 1:51.540 and finished thirteenth in the race, 91.702 seconds behind winner Max Verstappen, completing all 50 laps. No championship points were scored.
