Pierre Scerri
Pierre Scerri is a French
Ferrari 312 PB featured on the BBC television programme Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines
.
He began his project for the model in 1978, out of desire for having a
schematics and made the molds
for all parts of the model, a process which took 15 years.
In 1989, he finally completed assembly of the engine, a perfect scaled replica of the
Flat-12 cylinder engine found on the 312PB. He reportedly took extra time tuning the engine so that it would sound like the full-scale model.[2]
The project was finally completed in December 1992.
Scerri is now working on three new models, a
Ferrari 330 P4, another Ferrari 312PB and an engine for a Ferrari 250 GTO
, all 1:3 scale.
