He builds his own radio-controlled Lamborghini, with a V12 engine: a real miniature supercar!

A Lamborghini miniature? Yes. Remote-controlled? Absolutely. But what makes this project so impressive is its heart: a real, fully functional, miniature V12 engine. This isn't a show model, it's a hand-crafted radio-controlled car with complex mechanics and a level of finish that borders on automotive engineering on a reduced scale.

A miniature V12 engine that works just like the real thing!

It all starts with the engine, in which the perfectly balanced crankshaft is mounted. Next come the pistons and connecting rods, lubricated and assembled with surgical precision. Every component is functional: piston rings, piston pins, valves, camshafts, flywheels, even miniature spark plugs capable of delivering a real spark.

Everything is done by hand: engine gasketing, timing, etc., with a level of detail worthy of a full-scale car engine.

As in a real supercar, there's a carburetion system, an oil circuit, a starter motor, a complete ignition system linked to a miniature ECU, and even a radiator to cool the V12's heat. Yes, it really heats up!

In-house gearbox

No V12 engine without a gearbox! The creator also designed a custom transmission, complete with clutch, all adjusted to the millimeter. A gearshift servomotor is even integrated to simulate real gear changes.

The all-welded exhaust system includes 3D-printed headers, mufflers and hand-welded downpipes. The result? A line that faithfully reproduces the vibrations of a V12, at 1/10th scale.

Rigid chassis, suspension, wheels...

The chassis is not to be outdone: welded from precision-cut metal parts, it houses a genuine suspension system with differential and shock absorbers.

A braking system has also been added, with miniature discs, pads and calipers, activated by a dedicated servomotor for controlled deceleration.

Start-up and final test: it's on!

Once the assembly is complete, the designer adds the necessary fluids: engine oil, coolant, petrol... then connects two lithium batteries to start it all up. The engine starts up with a miniature roar, and the radio-controlled Lamborghini drives for real, powered by its own V12 combustion engine.

This project is a real feat of engineering, carried out on a reduced scale, but with the requirements of full-scale automobile mechanics. A real supercar, in miniature! All the stages are detailed in the 20-minute video below.
