That is amazing. A 100cc flat 12 exact replica that even runs a real gearbox. Simply amazing. That is detail oriented to infinity.

freaking sweet! To make that detailed of a model is one thing, but then to make a working flat-12 with overhead valves all by your self with fuel injection! Plus a working gearbox with reverse! Simply amazing- Ferrari should hire this guy.

I really think Ferrari should pay attention to this guy. Seriously, why not give him a job? He's obviously an amazing engineer. Even if he still continued to make tiny versions of real cars, ferrari could still sell them for obsene amount of money to the rich and/or famous.

I would love a minature version of a race car in my dinning room.....I dont think Ill ever be able to take my eyes of it.

I think it's funny that he says he couldn't afford a real Ferrari so he built a model- I would venture to say that with the money he sunk into that model he could have purchase a Ferrari, deff a used one at least!

It's gotta sell for over $300,000 at least.

seems like enough people havnt seen it so oh well... at least it's not one of those reposts that come along every week or 2 like the rx-8 vs 350z videos. So who's going to make an exact 787B model?
