Description
The U-9 Grand Prix Car is a racer in the style of the early Grand Prix era – with a V8 engine, 16 moving valves and a three-mode transmission.
It takes its cues from the sleek race cars of the automobile's early days, with the drive belt running visibly along the outside of the body. Under the hood sits a V8 with a fan and 16 working valves. A rubber-band motor powers the car; you wind it with the hand crank at the front. The link rod and transmission let you choose idle, reverse or drive.
A spring-suspended front fork and rubberized wheels give better traction, smooth acceleration and a longer driving range. A project for several evenings – 348 parts, about 6–7 hours.

- V8 engine with fan and 16 moving valves

From 348 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
