Lovely, absolutely lovely! Maximum respect to the guy who made this. For some reason I felt quite emotional . . . getting soft in my old age.

Marvellous. Anyone know what the smallest actual working (internal combustion) V12 is?

Delightful. I don't often follow video links here but I'm glad I watched that one, a beautifully made and cleverly edited little film. Genius very much in Edison's 99% perspiration sense - 1220 hours of work; six hours a weekend for four years!

Glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes, just sometimes You Tube is worth watching.
There's a whole raft of videos about working V12 and V8 engines but I'm not sure if any are 'fully working' in the oil and petrol sense. As one poster on the clip states, its probably not possible due to tolerances and temperature issues.
Some people have even made LegoTM engines which are just as impressive. You can even hear the sound a V12 makes just by the movement of pistons.

Amazing, and almost hypnotic to watch.
