That's interesting, but since it uses a custom engine it would be more difficult to do something similar. Well, unless you manage to modify a Honda CB 500 engine and make it fit

Most car engines are designed for optimum performance at maximum speed and load, which are in reality rarely used. At 55 bhp, the engine has the same performance as the original Twingo. Other performance parameters, such as maximum speed, elasticity and acceleration are the same or better.
