I was considering one day making a chevy V8 to a small scale, but wow. Not sure mine would sound like a chevy.

I remember seeing a print article about this very car a few years ago. Thanks for posting the video link! The author of the print article I read stated that "You can't believe how exact the engine exhaust note is to a real 12cyl Ferrari", and having now heard for myself, I see he was right. One notable statement from the print article was how the builder had to train himself on many of the procedures/processes he used to build this. AMAZING!Jerry

I forwarded this to my brother and this was his response
"Just one question. If he was making it anyway, why didn't he just go ahead and make it full size? It just would have needed bigger parts."
pretty funny...maybe shop not big enough

It would be much easier to find a driver for a full sized car. It would be very difficult to build a miniature human to drive this one. I wonder if he has considered running it via remote?
I would absolutely have to see what it would do on the tarmack.

That is why. Great dedication, awesome thing. I hope Ferrari buys it, and gives him run of their facilities for a day, he certainly deserves it.
I also would love to see this remote controlled and let loose. Only bad thing is Hollywood will probably buy and wreck it, for a movie.She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.Comment

"Incredible!"
That's Italian for incredible!
"Incroyable!" in case he's French.
Good gosh... that's AMAZING!
He certainly could make a career of it... It took him a while to "learn the trade" but my guess is, even if he doesn't sell the Ferrari to hire help... it would take him far less time. Even if he sold it for 100K, that's less than 10K a year... 2 years to make the drawings + 12 years to make the car...
A dedicated man.

I am sure someone will be willing to pay enough for this one to cover the cost of two new full size ones.
I mean, the other day when shopping for some gifts at FAO Schwartz (upscale toy store) I saw an exact scale replica of some famous ship (not Titanic), handmade and steam-powered, with a $180,000.00 price tag, and the 'SOLD' sticker. They also got kid-sized cars, factory-made, priced at $40,000+ (kid Mercedes, kid Hummer, etc).
Some people have way too much money.Comment
