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.

Useless, no piston moving :(
Because you would’ve seen them moving right? Oh and they would’ve powered your car too?
If they moved, it could not be a coffee table, four pistons hold the glass up
I need that in my life
This is maybe one of the most pointless things I’ve seen. I want one.
Take my money
Give me 100
So now I need this and a V8 coffee maker
I’d prefer that in my car.
Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
That’s one chill dog.
