It's not the coolest, but it's ours. It's an original, documented Giannini 500 TV.

Anthony, I looked at the site and it does have some neat pictures. They'd be even better if I could read the words.

I did some calculations on that Cinque Cento:

70 hp from 700 cc = 100hp/litre. The magic number for a normally aspirated engine.

70 hp in a 1,200 lb (545 kg) = 17.14lbs/HP. Supercar territory.

Brembo brakes and get this, you can get the option of a six speed sequential gearbox!

Putting a 4 cylinder Fiat 600 block, bored out to 750cc+, makes that car more of a 600 that a 500. I believe the hottest "real" 2 cylinder 500s were built by Giannini, and NOT Abarth.

It is my undersatnding that full-fledged racing cars in the under 500cc racing class which existed in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s had as much as 65 horsepower out of less than 500ccs, in a car that weighed around 1000 pounds!

Speaking about cool Fiat's i think this 500 might take the cake.

Another great looking 500.
The purists won't like the engine conversion:
Honda Blackbird 1100 engine with 163 bhp !!!
Chain driven
245 kph 0-100 kph 6 à 7 s
