Details

Well-known in the car world and online as the 'Angry Mosquito,' this Fiat was a no-expense-spared, hand-built European Resto-Mod built around 2012 by a fabricator and custom bike builder in Prescott, AZ. This car was engineered to perform like a mid-engine sports car. Weighing in at approximately 1,300 pounds with 220hp, it’s an absolute missile. The modified Wankle/Mazda 12A rotary engine has been upfitted with many performance parts and a dual 40mm Weber carburetor. The 4-speed manual transmission is from a Volkswagen, and has been rebuilt and geared to perform as it should with this lightweight combination. Custom hand-built touches are evident throughout the car, like the hydraulic clutch and brake master cylinder system. A full roll cage and gauges were installed, along with a large rear-mounted aluminum radiator with rear lid props for cooling. This is a wild build that gathers all the attention at any show.
