Look at what I found today... An ultra rare european 2 seater!

[Time_Attack]

One of only 500 made! Probably not what you were expecting eh? It only has 3000 original KMs on the clock since new.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome find!!! is it for sale? are you already cruising it? will you paint flames on it? I would, haha

haha, really, I would drive the thing if it was, like, given or almost given to me. You would surely be the attention magnet in the street. I'd love to howl my engine at the Vette in the other lane!

 

[Time_Attack]

It doesn't have an engine. It has a motor.

 

[Cano]

dude,whatver!!! if it makes any noise, I'd rev it at any cool fast car in the other lane, because I'm sure they would leave me in the dust just for the comedy!!!

 

[Time_Attack]

It shouldn't make any noise. Maybe a faint hum if you're really pushing it but I doubt it...

 

[Dan_]

It isn't cool as a Monteverdi Hai, but goddamit, it's electric and classic at the same time! Beat that Tesla.

 

[MasterFocus]

that thing is awesome!!!
you should totaly swap a 'busa motor in it =D

 

[Time_Attack]

Where would you put an engine? The whole thing is only 6 and a half foot long.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

You should kill it with fire! It's the arch rival of the real cars and combustion engines!

 

[Time_Attack]

Its RWD and is all torque. Sounds plenty fun to me. It only has 2.5hp but it tops out at a whole 35mph. Just imagine getting a speeding ticket in something like this...

at the exact same place the actual motor is wich is probably underneath the seats

and a Hayabusa motor isnt that big, its only a 1300cc 180hp engine

I think you underestimate how small an electric motor is. In something like that, we're talking smaller than a 125cc two-stroke engine, let alone a litre-plus four cylinder. Not to mention that no gearbox is needed either.

Great find T_A. Never seen nor heard of one of those before.

With a more modern motor and some lithium-ion batteries rather than the lead acid it almost certainly has, you could get some pretty decent range out of it. And more performance, though I'm not sure how wise extra performance would be in something that small...

Agree, great find
