Oh, that's real. I'm just waiting for the finishing touch before they swap it with the air coolled boxer engine in my R12S.
What's left is a bit of tweaking and lighter cams. It should produce 185hp, I hope I can handle that!

Who knows?
There were just one or two prototypes made. Certainly more, but no way to know how much.

And...the frame was made by Dutch framebuilder Nico Bakker. I know a guy who worked at Bakker and the BMW engineer drove with this engine on the back of his BMW 7-series seat
