Probably has almost as much horsepower as a wornout 1.7

It would be cool to find SOME application for this little engine.

What's the cost on this. I am sure not cheap

That's affordable but it's 1/4 scale.
Initial video is of a 1/3 scale engine , sounds different.
Thanks for sharing

I am absolutely sure that the 1/3 scale is an actual gasoline engine and the 1/4 scale is a plastic model. There is a Modelers Museum in Carlsbad CA that the owner of Sherline small machine tools has and there are several running small scale motors. Simply awesome work to build one. There is a small block Chevy kit that can be purchased, do some machine work and assemble but I do not now of a Porsche Flat six kit. I would get one if there was.
Here is the text from the youtube video
"Published on Mar 29, 2015
This afternoon I've witnessed something very very special.
A Dutch Porsche driver, and precision instrument maker, has build (more than 40 years ago) a Porsche 911 engine, scale 1:3.
Not as a static, but as a WORKING model. He has build everything by hand, working from the original factory drawings. "

Yup, their different.
One is a cool plastic model, the other is an incredible metal functioning combustion engine.

So just to be clear, the engine in the video is a real gasoline powered motor that was hand built and a one of a kind project. The $200 model is a plastic replica that is available for sale?
