Buy a Ferrari F1 car . . . kind of
You're a hobbyist with a lot of space in the living room, a yen for Formula 1 models, and $24,000 to spend on your next hand-assembled project. For you, Drinkstuff has come to the rescue with a full-scale, handmade, carbon fiber model of a Ferrari F1 challenger that will make you the talk of, well, probably everywhere.
The 1:1 model car, with metal decorations and actual rubber tires, comes with everything but an engine. Delivery time is four months, which give you plenty of time to build an equally impressive scale-size race track in the backyard.

Wow. Im Planning On Opening A Sports Bar This Year And This Would Be Perfect To Hang Upside Down From The Ceiling. And Way Cheaper Than The Real Thing

Real rubber tires, wow! How about a Schumaker driver figure with authentic decals? And what about steerable wheels and a working suspension?

Fiberglass != Carbon Fiber.

On the scopes of things this is a deal compared to what Ferrari wants for a full size display!

Money is not an option for poeple who can buy things like this. Someone who would acually try to work this into there budget would have to be downright retarded.

Nice, perfect for the L.A. quasi-celebrity poser.
I can see him giving a party to show-off the new addition to his private collection, the same car driven by the almighty Michael Schumi... Thats just sad.
By the way, it´s great for a project, get an engine that fit this (Mini, Honda Fit...) an benefit for Hundreds of Millions in research in testing, aerodinamics....

I here the pocket change jingling at Toyota and the whispers "Will it hold our engine?"
