Not Full-Scale, but Fully-Functional!
 

Hey guys,

I recently stumbled upon this video of a 1:3 scale Ferrari 312PB that I think I just HAD to show you.

It belongs here since some of the guys in off-topic probably won't understand and appreciate the dedication that the man in this video has done.

Here's the scoop:

- 1:3 scale
- Ferrari 312PB
- Fully-functional gearbox with 5 or 6 speeds (can't remember), and working reverse
- working flat-12 engine
- working gas, brake, and clutch pedal
- 3 years to blueprint
- 12 years to make
- dedication to his craft!

You may know of the "miniature V8s" that have been circulating in the net recently.

Bu this is a COMPLETE and WORKING 1:3 model of a Ferrari 312PB.

Words just can't explain what's been done here... Just watch the video:

simply put, that is truly amazing..

i totally admire people with a passion for what they do as a hobby, its a gift!

i saw this before! its really really cool!

he needs to train a small monkey to drive it haha, that would make it so much better hahaha

its old but still.....I....WANT....1...:p ...i could chase those cats down the street

What about that monkey that they used in that movie where it was playing basketball? You know, the Airbud-type movies!

That is soo cool. That guy does amazing work, I cant wait to see his next one

lets get a baby monkey, train it, make it learn how to shift, buy the car and make $$$$$$$

I know the guy says that he wants to sell it and use the money to build another one. But in my opinion, I would just stick with that one and not sell it.

He'll regret selling it. 15 years of your life to create something of THAT magnitude isn't worth any money in the world. That guy put is blood, sweat, and tears into that thing. There's no way you can put a price on one's emotions. That guy should be in the automobile hall of fame...

Jeremy Clarkson FTW!!!!!


definitely some impressive work there. now all he needs, is to make it R/C :nod:

No kidding, if he goes R/C he will make alot of money.
I myself would get one.

imagine if he made a model vtec engine...

You're not serious are you? lol

Was this an excerpt from an episode of Top Gear, or was it for a BBC special?

No No he actually wants to build something with power.

Slap a few servos on that thing and call it the worlds sickest r/c car.

in about 15 years he'll be done..

of course I'm serious. Jeremy Clarkson is awesome!

didn't look like top gear. it's definitely many years old, did you see his hair?!

i saw this before i love the fact that it has i tiny little key and all with working gauges thats sexy

man that thing is sick, and if you were to get a monkey to drive it make a whole bunch of those cars and make a monkey circuit

Pretty amazing work there, just the time and effort into making EVERY little piece all the switches, lights and everything else . Especially since all he had to work with was photos of the original that he made the blueprints from.
That working tach is really amazing also.

my speakers aren't workin so i could here so how fast does it go? and another thing i don't care how long it took to make and would take another couple of years to make it into a r/c and make that sucker fly and pass ongoin cars
