1/3 scale Ferrari 312 exact to the original - even with a v12!

Found this shit and its absolutely amazing!

"I am an airplane guy through and through. Not really into RC cars but I can have fun with one for 5 minutes or so till I get bored. I was doing a search for the Conley V-8 engines online for a mad-scientist project I want to do later down the road and stumbled onto this, the most incredible scale model project I have ever seen and I'm sure many will agree. This of course doesn't fit into electric airplanes but being modelers and always wanting cool toys, you just have to see this thing.
An Italian master crafter wanted his own 1/3 scale Ferrari 312 exact to the original, down to the suspension and transmission, and took 20,000 man hours and 15 years to complete the most amazing, all working mini Ferrari. If you could fit "Mini Me" inside the drivers cockpit, he could literally drive the thing just like it were real. Download the video and listen to a 1/3 scale, 12-cylinder Ferrari motor this guy built from scratch. "
