oops sorry yeah 100cc
this has got to be like the smallest working V12 engine in the world
probably broke lots of world records with this car

so how big is the real 312PB engine?

He does say it's just a 100cc flat-12. Unfortunately, since the original 312PB engine displaces 3.0L, the 100cc engine doesn't qualify to be in a 1:3 scale model, as it has to be 3.0L / 3 ^ 3 = 333cc to qualify.

Still impressive work though.

(3000cc / 3)^3 = 111cc

sorry a typo there

i meant 3000cc / (3^3) = 3000cc / 27 = 111.11cc

since u didnt put a bracket for (3000cc / 3), the power gets priority

and if u did mean to write (3000cc / 3)^3 then it would be 1 million liters
i dont think such an engine exist in the world yet
lol

Ahh...damn you're right. Kept thinking 3 ^ 3 = 9 for some stupid reasons. Guess I need to retake my 3rd-grader math.

So at 100cc vs 111cc the guy isn't too far off after all.
