🏁 A legend of car racing

Relive the 1913 feat when Jules Goux won the 500 miles of Indianapolis in a Peugeot equipped with a revolutionary engine: a 4-cylinder inline engine designed by Ernest Henry. This metal model to assemble faithfully reproduces this miniature engine, the first to integrate 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.

⚙️ Origins of the 4-cylinder inline engine

As early as 1894, Maybach and Paul Daimler designed the very first 4-cylinder inline engine with a cast block, using Maybach's patented carburetor technology. By the end of the 19th century, this engine powered the world's best cars. This exact metal reproduction pays tribute to this pioneering invention that marked the history of automotive engineering.
