Fiat 500 LeFreak !

It took a while to fit that V8 twinturbo -engine with intercooler into this tiny Fiat. It's got some parts from a Nascar kit too. Feel free to comment !

Thanks! The engine + gearbox are taken from Revell Chevy SS-R pickup, chargers are aftermarket stuff. Tubing etc my own design.

neat modification..!

i wonder.. if this car is real.. what is power-to-weight ratio ??

That must be a beast on the 1/4 mile
There is a Fiat 500 running with an aircooled Vw engine on drag strips in Europe, can't remember it's name but it's fast.

Nice model btw

That's madness! Great work!

This is outrageous! Is there a WIP for this model somewhere? Does it have gull wing doors? Did you start with a Tamiya or Gunze Fiat 500? Again, I love it!

Thanks everybody! There was a topic about building this Fiat, but I'm afraid it got wasted, when they modified the FCMA (Finnish Car Model Assosiation) site some time ago. I do have plenty of pics taken while building Le Freak, but I can't put them all on this site, can I?
The doors don't open, but gull wing doors they imitate .
I think it was Tamiya, not sure 'coz I made another Fiat 500 too. That might have been Gunze, and it got this Tamiya's engine. The other 500 is an ambulance with opening back door with a bed for the patient and chairs for the nurse and the doctor-driver. One rusty poor Fiat with Abarth engine!

Looks like it'll be a little rocket if it was real. Great work!
