Piaggio Ape and Daihatsu Hijet for Drifting (Episode 419)
Quelle: RTLZWEI (Glomex)
Not only Italy vacationers know them more as a rolling brake block: the Piaggio Ape. The "little monkey" with the mostly open loading area often causes slow traffic - after all, it hardly drives faster than a scooter. This urgently needs to be changed, decided a quirky Austrian. That's why he gave the Ape a motorcycle engine from Triumph. 140 hp turn the rattling scooter into a growling drift cannon. But not only that: In the garage of the Alpine countryman, GRIP test driver Matthias Malmedie finds a Daihatsu Hijet, which has been implanted with the 190 hp four-cylinder engine of a Suzuki Hayabusa. This turns the small delivery van into the most extreme drift mobile that Matthias has ever driven!
