If you have ever imagined a tiny V12 engine with just 50 cc, you are a visionary. In fact, the Chinese company Chuan Qi Precision has one in its catalog. And its sound evokes us to times gone by. In fact, it sounds like an old Formula 1. Don’t miss it! It’s amazing.
Known as DSF-V12this little guy is, it seems, the world’s smallest V12 engine in production. And as we never tire of telling you, it has been developed by the company Chuan Qi Precisionan expert in manufacturing miniature engines that work perfectly.
Now, in the video you have below, a content creator who acquired it assembles it and starts it. We don’t bother you anymore, we leave you with the video in question.
This is Chuan Qi Precision’s small V12 engine
Believe it or not, this V12 has an unleaded gasoline pump, an overhead camshaft and 24 valves, with two per cylinder. The most impressive thing is its ability to reach up to 12,000 rpm, producing a sound, as you can imagine, spectacular.
Of course, to deal with the heat generated, our protagonist added a larger fan (120 mm), thus replacing the original 80 mm one. In addition, 3D printed tubular exhaust manifolds were incorporated, which optimized its performance and contributed to a sound reminiscent of racing vehicles from a few decades ago.
Although this 50cc V12 engine was designed primarily for radio controlled vehicles, such as cars, boats or tanks, Chuan Qi Precision It also offers a four-speed gearbox for those who wish to install it on more ambitious projects.
Without a doubt, a gem for lovers of miniature engineering. Of course, its retail price is significant: $3,000 (about 2,890 euros depending on the change). But we are not going to put a price on happiness, especially not at this time.
