Feature: Engineer Spends 15-Years, 20,000 Hours Building 1:3 Scale Ferrari 312PB (Video)

If Ferrari and scale models are your bag, this 312PB is just for you. Pierre Scerri of Avignon spent 15 years and over 20,000 hours building this exact 1:3 scale replica of Ferrari's 312PB. Featuring a working 12-cylinder engine, 1:3 scale fuel-injection system, manual gearbox, and it even uses a perfectly engraved key to start the car. The engine sounds incredible, partially due to Pierre running the engine on a dynamometer for six months and tuning the header pipes to give off the same growl as its life-sized counterpart. Videos after the jump. Click here for first picture in gallery.
