Ok, I will see your Ferrari V12 and raise you an entire car...

Here is a guy who built a complete working 1:3 scale model of a Ferrari 312PB including a little 24 valve flat 12 that runs, working gearbox, etc.

Video (crappy quality) seems to be from Top Gear. Interesting to see and hear it running.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.
