I think there server may have gotten overloaded at some point & the flick removed. However, there's another site which has the video http://www.websiteexpertise.com/foc/Movies/ferrari312.rm And the article (now sans photos) for those who missed it. http://www.fineartmodels.com/scerri.htm (Couldn't get formatting going with nested tags, so links are below text this time.) You're all right. Stunning. | ||

I remember seeing this on Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines when it was first shown. It is absolutely amazing isn't it? | ||

He must build a RC controlled driver for it...so he can see it run. | ||

Oh yeah. The article in AutoWeek said that he had been offered over $500K for it but said it's not for sale. Other facts: (Scerri) spent more than a year tuning and retuning the exhaust pipes to match the sounds of the real car. The fiberglass panels required wooden bucks just as Enzo's hand-builders needed. The vented brake rotors were cast and machined. The tires are of the same compound as the original Firestones, and exhibit graining as if the car has pulled...from the track. Due to some luck, the seats are upholstered with the actual fabric that drivers Brian Redman and Clay Regazzoni sat on. Scerri had access to the real car during his project and found enough extra fabric beneath the cushions...the real car's owner donated the cloth for the sake of art. A book is in the works that will chronicle Scerri's project. | ||

Not even sure we can call him a 'model builder' anymore. That's like saying Michael Schumacher is the best go kart driver. Absolutely unreal. Got a kick out of the astonishment of the UK interviewer. I still would have built the thing 1:1 scale and made my living room bigger. | ||
