Check out what this guy built. It is absolutely incredible. This might be the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. Ferrari needs to give this guy a car of his choosing.

The guy fabricated each and every part to the entire car, engine included. It is an 100% accurate 1/3 scale and fully functioning model. What an incredible accomplishment.

He even fabricated a working slotted gearbox with reverse. LOL

Could you even calculate how much he'd have to sell it for in order to make a profit?
