Loris Rosati' Ape Car Proto w/ Honda 600cc Engine: SHOW & OnBoard at Busano Motor Show 2020!

After a couple of years, I was able to record again @Loris Rosati and his crazy Ape Car Proto, powered by a Honda 600cc engine, this time during the 2020 Busano Motor Show by Team Fast Drivers. Following my video uploaded in 2018, probably now many of you know about these little beasts but allow me to jog your memory anyhow:
An "Ape car", or simply called Ape, is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle produced since 1948 by the Italian company Piaggio (same producer of the more famous Vespa). The Apes (Ape means "Bee" in Italian) featured 50 cc, 125 cc, 150 cc and 175 cc engines. In the current ones you can find a proper car steering wheel but usually they are controlled with scooter style handlebars. It was designed to host just the driver but, tightening a bit, 2 people could fit in the little cab.
With a very low top speed, a good torque and thanks to its dimensions you can find most of this little vehicles on mountain villages for light delivery works.
Given their popularity here in Italy it's more than obvious that sooner or later someone would have found a way to make them race in organized championships. In fact, in 1991 in the North of Italy, there was the very first race for Ape Protos: heavily modified Apes, with more powerful motorbikes engines, motocross derived suspensions, quad rear tyres and many other mods based on the owner's liking. Generally these races are against the clock, but it can happen to find some GP-like competitions, and they take place on dirts, tarmac, snow or ice.
The most funny and entertaining thing to watch is when some of these crazy builds are called to make some show runs during major events, such the one you see in this video with Loris and his #95 Lightning McQueen Ape.
Enjoy the great stunts and show!

This is such a fun pocket-beast, not easy at all to drive or to stunt. Massive kudos to the driver. The graphics cheapen the whole thing imo, but i understand the reasoning behind it
