Take a car roughly the size of an Oompa-Loompa, toss the original motor, and cram in a L-twin desmodromic Ducati mill channelling the power through the rear end via a six-speed sequential transmission and a LSD … whaddya get? That sure as hell ain’t your grandmother’s recipe for minestrone, now is it? It’s more likely to add up to a whole heap of fun, with a claimed 330 HP per ton, barring any mid-corner encounters with rough pavement or wet leaves. The apparently UK-based Famarra F500 is a singularly badass offering, mating an awesome sounding (I have to admit a serious weakness for desmos) motor to a featherweight package. Plus, chicks LOVE 500s almost as much as puppies and Colin Farrell, so I think everyone wins, right? Just don’t hit anything more solid than a banker’s potbelly.

Unfortunately, Famarra neglected to provide pics, so all we have is the basic outline of the situation, and the random Fiat 500 pic above. But use your imagination. It seems like a work in progress, so we won’t rush ’em, but good work signores!
