Ferrari Daytona SP3 Engine Is Automotive Art From Amalgam In 1:4 Scale

Usually, we're in awe of scale replica cars from Amalgam, but this time it's all about the powertrain. Specifically, it's a 6.5-liter V12 engine connected to a seven-speed manual gearbox, normally found under the exceedingly rare Ferrari Daytona SP3. Here, you'll find it on display under glass, meticulously recreated in a large 1:4 scale.

Since the photos in the gallery below look like a real engine, here's some context for this quarter-scale model. It's 17 inches from the front cover to the tail of the gearbox, and 7 inches from the bottom pan to the peak of the massive intake. Speaking of which, yes that's a carbon fiber intake. Individual molds were made for the various components, built from original CAD info on the engine shared by Ferrari. It took Amalgam designers 3,500 hours to build the prototype, which then went to Ferrari for approval. Obviously, it was green-stamped for production.
