This has got to be the ultimate model. Every part in the engine was built to scale... it actually runs and even sounds like a Ferrari!

Found this posted on another board.

dang that guy is crazy as hell... If i were him, i would have worked in real life and saved all that money and buy a real one instead of spending time on making a scaled one. Anyways, good work.

I've heard of him before. If I remember correctly, He's actually Polish and his twin brother is working on a raygun that safely shrinks humans.

This truly incredible video was floating around about a year ago and was shown here. I've never seen a more complete scale working model in my life.

Dug around a little bit and found the old thread.

I also found a page with some more info. I still think the coolest thing is seeing the scale valves and valve springs and realizing that he had to make them by hand, along with every other component and it still runs.

Here's his personal page with more info on the car.
