🏁 A legend in auto racing

Relive the 1913 feat when Jules Goux won the Indianapolis 500 in a Peugeot equipped with a revolutionary engine: a 4-cylinder in-line engine designed by Ernest Henry. This metal model kit faithfully reproduces this miniature engine, the first to incorporate two overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder — a major advancement in the history of racing engines. This structural design is still used today in competition car engines.
