Because why the hell not. Also apparently it’s a Range Rover V8, so it’s sure to not work that often and not be that quick. But still!

Well I’m sure it can be arranged, as long as you’re willing to put the V8 where your legs are. Who needs legs when you have a V8 Twizy?

I should do this with my Twingo 2 and a Nissan GTR engine when I’m done dailying it!

Be sure to document your adventure, I’m sure the Darwin Awards will love some pictures!

Joking aside, a Twingo 3 with a superbike engine sounds like fun...

Well, if the Twingo 2 plan doesn’t work out, I can always try that, haha. However it has been done to Smarts before, so that would be kinda lame, since they are kinda the same now.

Hmm. Cool I guess? You could probably get more power out of the original motor though.

The range rover V8 doesn’t work? Did they still have to do more work to it?

Yeah I think the video was shot the first time they started it. I’m sure it’s better now!
