UniqueONES An Italian car designer, Lazzarini is famous for his crazy ideas in modifying cars, including Alfa Romeo 4C and Fiat 500 with V8 engines sourced from the Ferrari 458 Italia. It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from that last concept, but now Lazzarini says they actually want to build one with investor help.

As reported by Jalopnik on Wednesday, April 15, 2015, Lazzarini admit the idea to change the Fiat 500 or he called '550 Italia Prototipo Uno' is a crazy idea. He also explained how the changes are done if the Fiat 500 was converted into the Ferrari's V8-engined car.

However, until now the designer was still not willing to give details of the results of the engine testing. However, it is certain that the Fiat 500 has devastating power. It seems that this Lazarini's 550 Italia Prototipo Uno is not the only ferocious-powered superbug, here it's the rival named Oemmedi Fiat 500-Murciélago. *** [EKA [170415] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LAZZARINI DESIGN | JALOPNIK]
