All ICEs are Rube Goldberg machines, especially the high-performance brands. It's a miracle of engineering that they run at all.

They have a precision machined block of metal, creating hundreds of explosions per second, lubricated and liquid cooled by hoses that degrade and slip with the vibration, using turbos and superchargers to milk out performance, exhausting gases, driving a multigeared transmission, synchronised by perishable belts, with gaskets and sealants holding the shuddering mess all together. Miracles, all of them.
