Tuesday, October 07, 2008 | 8 comments » Categories | | Bookmark and Share

All we can say after watching and most importantly hearing the mini V12 engine on this video is that we’re absolutely stunned! The 12-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that could be used on a large remote control car is the work of a pair of German hobbyists. The V12 that has a displacement of 87cc is said to run on a mixture of Methanol, Nitromethan (5-10%) and synthetic hi-performance-lubrication (10%) and according to its creators, it develops an output of 6 to 8 PS. Follow the jump to see the video. -Continued

    my 1-cyl, 2-stroke 7.6 cc nitro engine puts out 1.4 hp. by specific power output, this thing is a turd.

    I haven't watched a 'car' video clip with my mouth wide open for a long, long time, but this is just magnificent! If you truly love machines and you're a perolhead you have to love this. What a brilliant piece of engineering!

    Well, at least I can say one thing... The sound that thing makes is a lot better than the sound my current car makes... So sad.

    Well done, guys. German engineering at its best. The sound is amazing. I'd love to see a slightly larger version of this in a kart.

    truly awesome. Is it production ready?

    i love the sound it makes, it might not be very powerful, but for an 87cc V12, it sure sounds nice.

    actually, their website says it produces 6-8 hp and 5 Nm.
