Porsche Carrera racing engine kit in 1/3 scale
The Carrera Type 547 racing engine is a legend of the Porsche sports car manufacturer. In the 1950s and 1960s, this technical masterpiece drove vehicles such as the 356 and 550 Spyder to numerous racing victories, laying the foundations for the Porsche legend. With this package, you can build a transparent functional model of the four-cylinder boxer engine from 1953 in around six hours.
The transparent functional model kit was developed together with the Porsche Museum based on original drawings. The more than 300 plastic components, some of which are movable, can be assembled and screwed together to form your own Carrera racing engine in around six hours. No gluing is necessary - a pleasant modelling experience is guaranteed!
The main shafts, pistons and valves move in realistic interaction. Even the ignition sparks in the cylinders are simulated by LEDs. The transparent housing parts allow the mechanics of the engine and the engine structure to be seen and understood from the outside. The integrated sound module with original Porsche engine sound is a further highlight of this detailed replica of the technical masterpiece from Zuffenhausen.
The Type 547 Carrera racing engine was the first Porsche engine developed specifically for racing. The development team led by Ernst Fuhrmann designed this revolutionary power unit with a particular focus on a compact design combined with great robustness. The initially 110 hp and 1.5 litre capacity of the boxer engine has driven various Porsche racing cars to numerous legendary successes since 1953.
The Carrera racing engine kit brings the type 547 vertical shaft engine to your desk as a transparent functional model on a scale of approx. 1/3. The screwed and plugged model makes the functioning of the legendary Fuhrmann engine tangible - a fascinating technology project for young and old.
