Doesn't sound like a Ferrari to me, sounds like a dirtbike.

edit: Not to say it isn't cool

A 100CC flat 12 with FI? That's just amazing.

I would think his enginerring prowess would have been picked up by Ferrari and he would have been hired on by now.

If he started building model engines for the RC'ers and sold those worldwide he wouldn't need to sell the original.

I think he coud have bought a real one for the cost of making that model,(maybe not). Image the the machine shop he would have needed to build that car. He should have built something he could drive. Brillant though.

Building a running 100c flat 12 is nothing. THIS running model of a 18-cylinder engine Deltic engine is true skill. That's 36 pistons!

Thats pretty amazing.

I remember at a wooden boat show last year they had some models just about as detailed as that. There is also a company thats makes fully functional scalled down V8's and I6's for them. The engines are the coolest part, they look, and run just like the real thing. They also cost twice as much as the real thing!

That model is most certainly worth a couple hundred thousand.
