Check out fineartmodels.com sometime, its been featured in the 'the art of' section for a few years. They sell 1/8 scale cars that can exceeed $35,000 without a working engine, I can only imagine what the Ferrari would go for. They also do huge ships, all metal aircraft, and an M5 that sells for over $7000. There's also a 1:48 titanic that's mind boggling. Cool stuff.
The ferrari is impressive enough in the video, but in the pictures you can see how insane it is, the relays, custom upholstry, the reflector and glass lenses, the keys, etc are just as involved.

Absolutely mindblowing. 15 years in the making(Incl. the drawings) he must be a very patient man.
Man that engine really made music.
Thanks for sharing.
