Carrera Racing Engine Kit

Build the legendary vertical shaft motor

The transparent functional model as a kit was developed according to original drawings together with the Porsche Museum. The more than 300 plastic parts, which can sometimes be moved, are put together and screwed together within six hours to form your own Carrera racing engine. No gluing is necessary – a pleasant modeling experience is guaranteed! The vertical shafts, pistons and valves move in real-life interaction. Even the sparks in the cylinders are simulated by LEDs. The transparent housing parts make the mechanics of the engine and the engine structure visible and comprehensible from the outside. The integrated sound module with original Porsche engine sound is another highlight of this detailed replica of the technical masterpiece from Zuffenhausen.

The first Porsche racing engine …

The 547 Carrera racing engine was the first Porsche engine specially developed for racing. The development team under the direction of Ernst Fuhrmann constructed this revolutionary unit with a special focus on a compact design with high robustness. The initially 110 hp and 1.5-liter displacement of the boxer engine drove since 1953 various Porsche racing cars to numerous legendary successes. The Carrera racing engine kit brings the king shaft motor type 547 as a transparent functional model on a scale of about 1: 3 on your desk. With the screwed and plugged model, the functionality of the legendary Fuhrmann engine becomes tangible – a fascinating technology project for young and old.
