Miniature Porsche Powerplant – Video

Porsche’s Boxer engines are a defining aspect of the great motorsport marque. Fierce, and fiercely reliable, the flat engines have catapulted many of Porsche’s greatest machines to motorsport glory.

But do they get any less awesome if you shrink them down in size? Check out this brilliant 1:3.2 scale Porsche engine and find out!

This fully operational 1:3.2 scale Porsche 911 engine was built by a Dutch Porsche fan more than four decades ago. He built it by hand working from original factory drawings, and it’s magnificent. The workmanship is exquisite and he has every little detail absolutely nailed.

Classic 911 motors are, for me at least, some of the most instantly-recognizable that I can think of, and this one is no different. It’s a thing of beauty. The glorious engine note from its twin straight exhausts just pushes it over the edge!

Hit play, turn it up and enjoy!
