🏁 A Motorsport Legend

The faithfully recreated miniature engine is based on Ernest Henry’s inline four-cylinder design—the first with dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. This accurate metal reproduction remains a benchmark in racing engineering to this day.

⚙️ Birth of the Inline Four

In 1894, Maybach and Paul Daimler developed the first inline four-cylinder engine with a cast block, using Maybach’s newly patented carburetor.
