Product details

Build the legendary V8 engine and discover the technology behind it! V8 engines are unique: their power, their sound, and the vehicles they drive are legendary. Explore what lies beneath the hoods of many sports cars! In just four hours, you can assemble a fully functional model of an eight-cylinder engine, allowing you to experience the joy of engineering. The complete package includes over 250 components and a richly illustrated manual. The engine model is detailed and transparent, so you can see how the V8 engine moves and operates. With the integrated sound module, you can experience the powerful sound of a V8 engine in action.

The comprehensive manual offers a good mix of entertainment and knowledge. Engine technology is explained in detail with many examples, highlighting the unique features of the V8 engine. Additionally, the book provides high entertainment value, including the history of the legendary AC Cobra, the V8 engine in motorsport, and the most famous car models with V8 engines. With the detailed step-by-step instructions, you can build the sound-powerful V8 engine for your workshop or living room. Show that there's an engineer in you and get started.

The kit contains over 250 components, an electric drive motor, and all the tools you need for assembly. It's designed to be very simple, with everything working without glue or soldering! The transparent housing allows you to see and understand all the processes in your eight-cylinder engine: the pistons rise and fall, and even the ignition spark is simulated. With the sound module, you can experience the original V8 sound in action.
