Created by paper craftsman Sheung Yee, it"s an origami kit that can be built into a life-size working V8 - powered by batteries. "It took a year to design and construct," explained Yee, of Montreal, Canada. "Each part is precisely made."

Movable parts include the compound crankshaft, a rapid cooling fan, rods and pistons and a gear-box. It tips the scales at less than 3kg - but has a maximum speed of only 3.4rpm.

"What do you expect?" said Yee. "It is only paper after all!" Visit www.yeesjob.com for more details on the unit.
