FIRE BREATHING FIAT 500

AN ITALIAN mechanic has created the world’s most ferocious mini-car. Dini Gianfranco has transformed his Fiat 500 into a Lamborghini hybrid, with an incredible 580 horsepower and top speed of 186 mph. The tiny Italian car has been installed with a monstrous 6.2L V12 engine from a Lamborghini Murcielago - pushing the mini-car to seven times its original top speed and thirty two times its original power. Mechanic Dini Gianfranco, 56, has been working on cars since the age of nine.
