first in the world?
RWD COOP

Thats what I was missing in the snow this year

Haven't seen the original post, but I think it's quite an achievement. Would have preferred to see it with a Fiat group engine. Maybe a V6 Alfa, or why not a 20VT, if you could get around turning it 90 degrees.

Still, impressive.

I'm desperatly in love with this! My heart skipped a beat when it first saw it sideways.

Improved throttle response and plenty of low down torque too !!

Very considerable option, hehehe:)

Only downside is that bmw engine is used.....

Yep...but the m50b25 can be not to so hardly turbocharged to above 340hp. And the fact that engine enters, make me think other bmw blocks would enter too. A friend has on the lift s50b32 m3, so was planning to take some measures tomorrow. Just out of curiosity Anyway that should add "...if money&time was no object" to the title

update on this.
It's certainly looking better

Too much power IMO and a bit vulgar. Doesn't look like it can actually deliver any to the tarmac.

Looking at the handbrake lever its going to be a drift car. Although they're going to need much more practice lol.
Not that I'm a drift King or anything.

It sounds dirty!

Yeah drift car then. But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Exactly, why not just buy and drive a BMW if that's what you want.

Hello,

As long time BMW fan and now a proud owner of a Fiat Coupe 16vt I really don't what to think...

My heart is splitted...

Great job... but I have to admit that for RWD a BMW would be better...

Lot of unnecessary work in my opinion yes great achievement , but why sounds shite and goes shite , 5 cylinder fiat turbo all day long for me

Why drift a fiat coupe, because its fapping gorgeous and kicks the crap out Japanese cars that have no soul.

And why not just drift a bmw, because it's, just another bmw drifter yawn.

A fiat coupe could make a striking drift machine,
A fiat (fwd) coupe with massive huge big ponies is always going to struggle getting the power down without wanting to drive straight on.

A rwd coupe can be so much better balanced,
A rwd coupe can go round corners sideways in spectacular splendour
A rwd coupe with something like a supra 2jz engine can put out 700-1600bhp the former very cheaply compared to the fiat lump.
And a rwd coupe with aforementioned lower power would be quicker round a track.
In my view.

So many haters on here?

I think this is a fantastic achievement in engineering alone, and the car looks like it will be incredible fun to drive.

Well done

I prefer italian RWD made with Lancia Dedra powertrain
Without front differential

If I had the money I'd like to build a rwd coupe using some iconic machinery, perhaps Ferrari V8 in there.
Alas I don't have that kind of cash.

Again back to that transverse gearbox and diff that will be a limiting factor.

Steve, for a while I have been thinking that you should build a Coupe Bimotore! A 40VT.

I am amazed at the launch achieved by this car.

Back to the thread...The owner of this RWD LE seems to love the car. The choice of engine isn`t wholly to my taste but it is good to see some real conversions being achieved.

I think it's an incredible conversion.
I love conversions, of every type.

In this case I think it is something incredible because, if you look at the exterior, it is a real Coupe'!
No modification on the bonnet, on doors, etc.
Only in the interior, but i think that with some hours of job our hero can re-create the pininfarina-design interior.

Great job!

It keeps going through my mind lol
I think this is the most powerful coupe so far.
Although not fiat powered it is very well engineered and with 4x4 and 940bhp it should be brisk.

Awsome. Made me laugh!
Hillclimb it......

Ok I change my mind I love it wow it's amazing we'll done .
