Ferrari 312PB, 1:3 Scale and functional
I thought this definitely desserved its own thread. Simply amazing.
Hope you enjoy  .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3NVJ...elated&search=

I remember posting about this around 3 years ago
- So in that sense it's not really a repost. I won't mention the one that was posted more recently, thus making this a repost  Anyways, Pierre Scerri is incredible. He has more talent and patience than I can possibly imagine. The link I posted way back in the day has since gone dead, but you can still access it though archive.org - here is the link Here is Pierre's personal home page: http://mps-sportproto.com/fr/

now for the clever among us. The car is scaled down to 1/3 of the original car. What is the displacement of the scaled down flat 12? And please show your calculations

Long Way: Real 312PB Bore x Stroke = 78.5 mm * 51.5 mm So.... π x ((1/2)(1/3)(78.5mm))^2 x (1/3)(51.5mm) = 9231.51mm^3 per cylinder 9231.51mm^3 x 12 = 110778.1mm^3 = 110.8cc Short Way: 2991cc / 27 = 110.8cc

that's what I wanted to see  (so not 2991/3)...When I first did the official calculation I forgot to square the 1/2 (so I got 444 cc....) he says on the video being interviewed by Clarkson that it is 100 cc..so the thing may have more than 10 bhp...

That thing is just beyond cool. Especially since he cared about the project so much he learnt how to make things like glass and tyres

Like i said before, he whould put some servos on it and run it on a track, the only real problem would be the gearbox.
