You may not believe this but these ‘V8 Engines’ have been fabricated from Paper Mache. They are small and miniature to look at but are a complete replica of their originals. They even have movable engine part attachments so as to give the exact feel of the real V8 engine. Seems to be a different and quite fascinating as the parts include- a composite crankshaft, a rapid cooling rotor fan, 8 rods, 8 pistons and a multifarious multiple gearbox. This V8 engine is driven by 2×1.5V D Batteries and has a curb weight of mere 2.98kg.
This mini four-stroke V8 engine flaunts a 1.000-inch bore, 0.900-inch stroke, 9:1 compression ratio, 12,000rpm max., rotary sliding vanes known as the supercharger, dual WALBRO carbs, dual electronic ignition spark plugs, and a dual juncture dry sump oil system, so as to maintain the proper lubrication.
The designers and developers say that it took them almost a year to fully assemble this miniature marvel. One thing that amazes me the most is that these miniature beasts are fully functional, wow!
