Pierre Scerri loved Ferraris, specifically the legendary 312PB.

So he made one of his own at 1:3 scale. That works. It took him 15 years and 20,000 hours, but his model includes not just faithfully recreated body and interior work (the trademark shift grate is there!), but also a fully functional 1:3 scale 12-cylinder engine, transmission, and exhaust system — which means his tiny car even sounds like a Ferrari.

Mr Scerri has his own website now, detailing additional models he’s working on, including a Ford GT40.
