My italian 1980 company is something different from classic car brands, it’s a little manifacturer with only one objective: FUN.
The mechanic is simple and without gadgets, I try to offer cars that are a joy to drive. Compact, really light, agile (perfect for small tracks, more economic to enter) and easy to drive.
The cars are very customizable for the low production volume, so each client can order a lot of things. From the most simple to something more technical.
The first one is a request by a guy that loves trackday and searches a car to refine his drifting technique. So I put a beautiful turbo on my 1.4 carburettor engine and a limited slip differential. That’s all.
Maybe I have to refine the engine tune, but my client is having a lot of fun!
That’s far too reliable for a fun 80’s Italian car.
It looks pretty solid as a track day car, comfort is low for a daily but that’s not the goal I’m guessing. As it is a track day car I’m surprised at your fuel economy, I’d have expected a richer mixture but that’s quite reasonable really, probably on par with Alfas of the time period.
I don’t want to inspire to old italian cars, it’s something more next to japanese cars, I guess. Well done and reliable, but with an eye to the performance.
The mixture is tuned for maximum performance, it’s good for the very low mass of the car, I guess.
For the company story:
a friend of mine asked me an extreme engine version, we’ll use 2 Ninja 1000cc blocks… Maybe a low pressure turbo, but I guess that it would be enough NA.
The Aenzima made a lot of experience in race and high-performance cars, so in the 2015 it’s the great change to finally product a supercar.
It’s the Aenzima Rad-ice. Radical ice mmmmh, you’ll discover why in the photo, Radice in italian seems for “root”. In honour for the past of the Aenzima company.
Front is aggressive but clean, rear is… something more.
So, here it is…
