Mini Kenworth semi with a miniature Cummins turbodiesel
How cool is this...

According to the maker of the first video, Cummins built the engine specifically for this guy. The cost is of the project 85,000... but I'm not sure if thats USD, or something else.

In the second video, you can see pictures of the engine and inside the cab.

That looks like a 3.3 Cummins. If he had a custom one-off scale model ISX in there the cost of the project would be well over the $85k mark...

Very cool and I can think of worse ways to spend $85k if you have that much for toys.
