Default Fine Art Models - Ferrari 312

Found this on the web.

FULLY FUNCTIONAL 1/3 scale model Ferrari


This is without a doubt the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
Read the article and marvel at the work that went into this masterpiece, then watch the video (narrated by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear) and simply drool at the level of detail in this model, especially the sound. Yes, the sound! The perfect Ferrari engine music coming out of the fully working 1/3 scale 12-cylinder powerplant. It boggles the mind. Have a chuckle as Jeremy giggles like a schoolgirl when shown the tiny working pistons, valves & valve springs.

If ever a model car could be fine art, this would be the one.

Yeah that thing is amazing I remember when I first saw it I spent about an hour telling my brother about it.

That story is several years old now so I wonder if he sold the Ferarri and what his next project was/is.
