  This Car is INCREDIBLE.
  
  It took the maker 15 years, 20,000 hours to build.
  
  It’s an exact replica 1:3 scale of a Ferrari 312PB. So exact infact, that everything works,
  
  -The 103 cc Flat-12 fuel injected engine WORKS!!
  
  – The 5 speed Gearbox WORKS!!
  
  – Even the tiny gauges in the cockpit work!!
  
  Theres even a video of the car running etc.

  It’s awesome. Man, did he ever put in some work to that. I wonder what he got for it/out of it all?

  He is either obsessed, or just a perfectionist.

  Or nuts… either way the thing that amazes me most is no thte car, but the engine.
  
  At 1:1 scale there’s well skilled mechanics and engineers who’d quiver with fear at rebuilding a mechanical fuel injection setup that uses a phased pump and distubuter block to give sequential injection. Yet here’s a guy thats made his own 1:3rd scale! Legend!
  
  He’d have no shame in just having it run a basic mechanical constant fire system at that scale but it looks like he’s done it right, totally amazing!

  i remember reading an article about this car years back when he showed it off at a motor show in europe.
  
  they asked does the car drive?
  
  and he goes yes it should but i have to find a monkey that could drive it!
  
  the guy is nuts but you got to admit its one hell nice model, esp the motor sounds great!

  I downloaded the video and couldnt wait to hear the little 103cc Flat 12 engine, but the damn video didnt work, tried it again and still no cigar, 100mb of download for nothing.
  
  I agree he is probably mad, but a fucken genius
