The Romeo Ferraris racing team has had a fruitful year after taking the top crown and winning the Class Championship Sara GT Cup. The team is now getting ready to compete at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga race this weekend. Their chosen steed is this extreme Romeo Ferraris 500 with a body weight of around 970kg. It is based on the Fiat 500.

Push and shove will come courtesy of the gutsy Fiat 1.4-litre turbo four-cylinder engine from the stock 500. In this application it sneezes out a formidable 265kW (360hp) which is sent to the ground via 17-inch Dunlop rubber.

Street-legal examples will not be created unfortunately as this is just a race car.

So, that is 360 hp in a light weight super hatch

is it still front wheel drive? if that the case, hope it's well sorted out

it looks like its still FWD based on the camber I can see from the picture. That setup would be a good setup for a FWD car

The first thing I asked if this was for sale while on the main page. Right under the title it said "Not for sale". FML. But props to the people who made this possible, let alone a idea!

What does the red lettering say on the side of the car? I can't quite make it out, but it is definitely a signature, any ideas?

First off, it's Ferraris, not Ferrari. They're spelled similar, but are very different companies. Secondly, is that really what the signature says? Because it seems weird that Mr. Ferraris would end his first name, Romeo, with an "i" when he signs his name. But who knows? Maybe he doesn't know how to spell his own name?

Does anybody have any logical answers to my question?

I like it alot, i think despite the awesome power out of the engine, the wing is a bit much, could be a bit smaller but no less...i like.

yeah RWD, you put such a big wing on a FWD car it won't get any power down especially that much power on such a tiny body.
