-We've previously brought you functional, scale versions of a V-12 and a W-32, as wellas a 6.09-cubic-inch V-8 (and our pals at R&T have coverage of a tiny Ford Flathead V-8 running replica Ardun heads). They're all very impressive, but fans of flatter engines may find them lacking. Enter this miniature replica of a Porsche flat-six.
According to the video description, this is a 40-year-old build by a Dutch precision-instrument maker and Porsche driver. Like many of these small-scale running model engines, it's apparently entirely bespoke—the parts counter at Brumos doesn't exactly carry 1:3-scale Porsche camshafts, you know?

It appears to be set up in a style reminiscent of a vintage competition Porsche engine, with velocity stacks and unmuffled pipes. And like its full-scale counterparts, it sounds unreal. Enjoy.
