On the exterior we applied a widebody kit that enlarge the car about 300mm x side in the rear part, in the front we have an enlargement of about 200mm(each-side)




The original wheelbase of the Fiat500 (2300mm) it's increased of about 300mm, this due to consent the alignment of the transmission with the correct position of the driver, although the transmission lenght has been reduced as well.



The engine it was slightly detuned from 570HP to 550HP, this cause in the simulator the exeed of torque could badly balance the car during fast shifting operations .

Also the LSD it's concepted for a completely different usage than the one configured on the F458.



The fuel tank it's modulated and repositioned in the front of the car, just after the 458 radiator (exactly where the stock engine of 500 was before)

For a proper operation of the car, in the project are also expected two ballast, in the front and in the middle of the chassis for an approximate total weight of 2000lbs.

The aspiration system works trought a roof scope and other two vents are located before the rear fenders, due to have an efficent cooling system straight to the brakes and on the lower part of the engine/transmission/differential.

The coloring is a tribute to the Italian flag and the blue color is a special edition concepted for the Italian soccer team that is now playing the European Cup 2012.

Our studio is actually looking for a investor able to spend around $550.000 for the development of this toy

550,000 for just one... Lol no.

We could build that AWD, with full race suspension and twin turbod for 100k same motor and body...

[deagle]

why not get a real ferarri for that price ?

being a ferarri, i don't like being in cramped places when the engine blows up

#1 rule of Italian cars. Make sure everyone knows it's Italian. The more flags and ''Italia'', the better.

Beaten to the punch years ago....

[Burnin8r]

there is a guy on the FIAT forum with a Giallo 550 and a matching 500 sport.

would be cheaper to buy one of each rather than drop half a million on that abomination.

[pattrick02]

whatever you guys say, i think it would be pretty damn sweet to have one of these...but for 550k, forget it!

Article doesn't say you are going to even get one. Obviously your ROI would have to be negotiated.

If I had the option to invest I would demand three built I own 2, one right away, and the other after demos and whatever press bs is done. They keep the one that gets beaten on the road and whatnot.

I would use a lambo v10. The car is front engined so a Gallardo front differential can easily be fitted up front along with custom drive shaft shop shafts. Pick up a v10 for 12k, cut the rear floor out, fabricate a tubular rear subframe and cage, widen the rear track width. I'm sure there's a standalone out there that can be used, all can be done for little under 100k 150k at the absolute max.
