Proto P2 Cars w/ Kawasaki Engines: Autobianchi A112, FIAT Cinquecento & FIAT 850 Special

Proto P2 cars are a sort of covered go-karts with a very low weight and powered by motorcycle-derived engines which makes them very agile and suitable for slalom races and for tiny, little circuits. Generally they are homemade by enthusiasts but there are specialized companies who build these fun track-toys. In this video you can see three of them I recorded during the 2020 Challenge Valpolcevera, a Formula Challenge race organized by Scuderia Valpolcevera and held at Castelletto Circuit. Formula Challenge is an Italian series taking place on permanent circuits or on arranged ones (dirt, tarmac or mixed). Races are chase races in which the cars start at preset intervals. The type of the circuit must be such as to provide an average speed not over 80 km/h. The final classification is drawn up to the sum of the times resulting in the two best heats of the race (out of 3) discarding the worst.
You can see three of them here and they are all powered by Kawasaki engines. The white Fiat 850 Special should have a Kawasaki 1.2-liter taken from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R while the white/fluo yellow Fiat Cinquecento have the 1.4L engine taken from the Ninja ZX-14 / ZZR 1400. They are both fielded in the E2 SH 1400 class for silhouette cars. Instead the white/grey/red Autobianchi A112 has a stroked ZX-14 engine (1.5-liter), able to produce around 230 hp, and it races in the E2 SH 1600 class.

I love the tiny cars with giant splitters

[@wolftmfg]

Somebody bought my GPZ750R to yeet that engine in a Fiat too. It must have been an amateur class being it 97 HP 😁

[@alemultijet]

La 112 è bellissima in tutto. Dallo stile alla grafica al sound. Fantastica

[@gelul12]

How much rpm do you want? Them: Yes.

[@Le_Floffy_A92]

ultimate pocket rocket, right here :)

[@haardtek]

anyone knows how much they weigh? i imagine the hp to weight ratio is insane lol

[@fastbullet5793]

Over 1 ton i belive 😂

[@eljaibas16]

@@fastbullet5793 if 1 ton is 300 kg then yes lol

[@vainxler]

Probably between 6 and 700kgs.

[@roynaba7669]

I would say around 600 kg

[@joshlewis5065]

Probably ballpark 1000lbs maybe 1500lbs

[@MarkMeadows90]

Imagine these cars powered by the Kawasaki H2R engines.

[@matthewdufty606]

White one with green stripe looks like something out of Total Recall... I want one!

[@johnnylive20]

Ma quanto è bella la 850 sport? Mi ricordo quella che aveva mio papà quando ero piccolo, tutta rossa e elaborata fino al buco dello scappamento 😂😂 e comunque anche la A112 Autobianchi che gira in pista è stupenda!! Questa invece ce l'aveva mia sorella, ma ovviamente non aveva il motore di una moto Kawasaki sotto 😂🤣😅

[@rinjiplays8231]

That's a really loud car

[@yannx4968]

Cinquecento.... Ma que belle

[@RobertoRomeoOfficial]

Bel mezzo la Cinquecento. Seguiteci su "Cinquecento Volte Passione".

[@GolfistaGTI86]

Spettacolo 🤩

[@kraut8873]

Tell that to the 17 people who disliked.. They must be some senior citizens that thinks its too loud. Lol

[@UnknownArtist994]

Amazing!!!

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

Mori knows shortshifting is da way

[@lepeejon2955]

Sounds like someone poked a nest of killer hornets. Excellent video.

[@alexmaccity]

Cool cars.

[@mat199622]

The idea is very cool, but the gearing seems to be pretty bad. With how light those things are your shouldn't be a need to yank a shifter 4-5 times on a 200m straight...

[@Fullspeed18]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Bsc8]

Sarebbe bello fare alla "Cironi" ossia ti prendi due amici, si passa una intera giornata in pista con ste tre piccole belve. Ogni tanto si cambia macchina in modo da provarle tutte tutti quanti, e nel frattempo ci si diverte in 3 (cretini con la stessa passione)!!

[@henryevangelista9082]

It sound like B18c Vtec by Honda

[@gianlu1983]

Eh la Madonna ma cos'è quel 112???

[@ghostdu8315]

What kind of races are possible with these cars ?

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

This one

[@ghostdu8315]

@@bigharrykochenbauls4567 Only this one ?

[@joe125ful]

Wtf is that go cart??:):) Why it feels there is space to mount V6 3.0L??

[@mrmark8603]

Kawasaki 4 cylinder 1400 motor is 200HP STOCK! Tiny and light.

[@joe125ful]

@@mrmark8603 Yes,yes...but iam sure 2.0L 4Cyl N/A is not that heavyer with more power and cheaper.

[@Terraceview]

@@joe125ful Car engines are much heavier than bike engines.

[@joe125ful]

​@@Terraceview Heavyer?Yes but not you can still build 650Hp car with 610Kg weight with 4.0L V8:) Also Normal engines produce more Torque than bike engines because you need rev soo high to get that power,just look on that start....they barely move with 200Hp:):) Ofcourse 1.5-1.6 Honda in heavyer (around 135 kg)but how much cost new Kawasaki engine when whole bike cost around 17.000Euros?8-10,000Euros maybe?

[@jhunterkim]

Tiny but huge power car

[@joe125ful]

Huge power???? 1000Hp?

[@Axel-rr4sv]

Che mostri😂🤣👻👻👻

[@rizqifadlan3591]

aye

[@zuminlair92cp]

W I D E rear tyre on small car. lol

[@jareknowak8712]

Because RWD.

[@adri593]

You know what RWD and high power to weight ratio means?

[@zuminlair92cp]

hmm...if i'm not wrong, the engine is from motorcycle and the out is around 200hp, right? if car weight isn't really high the surface pressure would be too low for that tyre and doesn't give more grip for a bit thinner tyre.

[@alessandropapaleo9985]

Ma che senso ha tutto questo? Soprattutto in quella "pista"

[@claudiobresciaciao]

ha il senso che prendono il tempo e chi gira piu veloce vince ,come in tutte le gare di auto da corsa .

[@kilosera]

Shitboxes in their final form

[@eljaibas16]

I want one of those

[@MatrixDiscovery]

Shut up.

[@VSgrPistolStar]

Ok. Now you can go and see your ideal cars .. Bugatti?! Golf 20?! Mercedes CKLMSL full display or Tesla. Read the title carefully next time.

[@Bsc8]

You don't understand classic and fun track Toys... What shitbox you drive? An Hybrid Civic i presume...
