FIAT 600 ZX12-R Proto || 12.000Rpm Kawasaki Engine Swap

  • Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
  • This is the remake of one of our very first clips, featuring the spectacular FIAT 600 Proto of Andrea Vellei, attacking Ascoli Hillclimb in 2010. Powered by a 200Hp/12.000Rpm engine from a Kawasaki ZX12-R bike moving only 550Kg of Rear Wheel Drive classic shaped machine, it not only looked the part, but also displayed the kind of speed and handling capable of impressing both against the clock and the public.
    So while the classic Fiat 600 was designed to be a practical, easy to operate, easy to park little car among some other things, it is just very fortunate that Italian Petrolheads in different generations decided that it could be much more. Like being transformed into a full blown race car capable of dispatching corners like a Kart on steroids. For that, we can only be thankful...

    Fantastic. I was driven to school in a stock 600 in the early 1970s in Italy when I was a boy. This has slightly more power! Brilliant.

    Who would have thought that the ideal combination would be an engine from a superbike and and a tiny lightweight car from Italy for such a road !!!! For sure the driver had to be extra careful for the whole track but it think it was worth it , i mean he managed to brush off such a challenge and gave to the audience an intense show of skills , speed and good handling !!!!

    Question: when these kind of cars do motorcycle engine swaps, do they have differentials? Doesn't look like it from the in-car.

    • @CarlosGarcia-ze6rt
      @CarlosGarcia-ze6rt 4 роки тому +2

      I suppose that most of them don't have a differential because they're still chain driven (like a go-kart). But you can have chain driven differentials.
