Pierre Scerri spent 15 years building a fully functional 1:3 scale model of a Ferrari 312PB. Drafting the schematics and making the molds for the parts took 7 years!

It's AWESOME

This is pure passion. It would be nice to see Ferrari sponsor him with his next endeavor. This guy probably knows more about Ferrari then some of the Ferrari employees.

A sponsor would be good. at least he wouldnt have to make EVERY single part, he could buy some things which could save a year or too.

Oh gosh... when I started watching it I thought he had made a real life sized version of the car... not a toy size! Still really cool of course.

But he should try doing that next

The video is about 10 years old I think, I wonder how far he got with his next project. Of course he could of spent the 20,000 hours or so on another job and bought a full size car!

Very cool model though, just needs to find a baby that can drive....

If I were in charge at Ferrari, I'd hire this guy immediately.

Very nice work, but I can think of some better things to do in 15 years though.

He would probably kill himself if something happened to that car... sure he never has and never will let anyone drive it =)
