Urba Centurion #4
There will soon be a second Centurion on the roads of North America
Once of course I get done fixing it up. I just couldn't see it sitting around collecting dust I had to buy it. For $450 minus the engine and another $1,000 roughly in shipping costs I figured it was a pretty good deal. Of course only an ecomodder would see it this way lol
I did not need the 750cc engine as I all ready had a spare Kubota Z482 laying around. So my plan will be to retrofit the smaller yes I said smaller 482cc Kubota into it along with an assortment of goodies that will allow it greater fuel economy potential as well as performance you would expect to see from the modern Smart ForTwo 0.8L diesel car.

The Kubota Z482 engine can be found in Aixam cars in Europe =
