REPORT CONTINUED spark
REPORT CONTINUED spark plugs look like the originals but are made on a slightly larger scale. The flat V12’s entire fuel system including control system is particularly fascinating. Daniel was able to get the electronics from a family member of the dotcom generation. The 6.4 hp flat engine can reach up to 8,000 rpm before cutting back. The sound it makes is like no other. But which Motorconcept V12 has the lovelier tone: the 60° V12 with carburetors or the fuel-injection flat 12? That’s like comparing Mozart with Beethoven or Pepsi® with Coca-Cola® – in other words, purely a question of taste. What’s certain, however, is that the only lubricants for Daniel and Bernard are from MOTOREX. MINIATURIZED: THE CYLINDER HEADS THE OIL PUMP THE STARTER Beaming in amazement: Mauro Forghieri (r.) with Daniel (l.) and Bernard in 2007 in Modena. VISITORS WELCOME With advance notice you can experience these Motorconcept masterpieces live in Ecublens near Lausanne, by yourself or in a professional group, club or business. The only thing the two passionate pensioners ask is that you have ears for a motley orchestra of internal combustion engines – electric vehicles have no place in their world. • There’s no high-tech equipment here to be found.
