This Motorised V12 Coffee Table Is A Stupidly Cool Piece Of Home Decor
It's noisy and doesn't look awfully safe it you've kids around, but this motorised V12 coffee table - made using a BMW 750i engine - looks incredible!
When posting about it on Reddit Cars, the builder of this intriguing piece of furniture mentioned that it’s “powered by the ignition switch giving power to a battery which then powers the starter which spins the flywheel, crank, chains and cams”. He admits that it’s “not the safest piece of art”, but points out that the key isn’t kept in the block, and that his workshop isn’t somewhere that’s usually visited by kids anyway….
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
