Motoring enthusiasts who know their way around most car parts may be impressed by a new museum exhibit.

The latest display to arrive at the Nurburgring Ring-Werk collection in Germany allows visitors to get inside the engine of a Formula One vehicle.

Created by Manchester-based firm EDM, the walk-through unit is the largest exhibit ever produced by the company.

Attendees at the museum enter the engine underneath the cooling fan, before passing a piston, crankshaft, valves and camshaft.

The group behind the creation explained through clever lighting use, people are able to see the flow of intake and spark of combustion.

It commented: "Visitors to the new exhibition will be left in no doubt what extreme forces and complex mechanics play out inside a Formula One racing car. "

Meanwhile, motorists keen to keep their own engine in peak condition may find they can replace worn parts with car spares bought online relatively cheaply.
