Chevrolet Matiz With 505HP Corvette Z06 V8 Engine
OK, how cold I let this one slip by? What we have here is a Chevy Matiz (a tinny Euro market sub-compact) that someone decided to cram, not just a V8 into but a big, whompin’ stompin’ Corvette Z06 V8 Engine that cranks out 505HP.
Oh, and said lunatic is French. Is that a reason, or an excuse?
Well, let’s see.
This mutant Chevy Matiz, all decked out in a nice shade of French racing blue, was done up by a fellow by the name of Yves Fourdin, who is the founder and owner of Fourdin Auto Sport. The car, which is apparently homologated for racing, has been fitted a stock 7.0-liter V8 engine from the Corvette Z06 that delivers an output of 505HP. Even in a Vette that’s a bunch, in a car the size of a kitchen range, that borders on the too much. Borders … I’m still not sure what constitutes “too much power” in a car.
Yves Fourdin says the Corvette-powered Matiz will accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in just 3.7 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.94 seconds while the car’s top speed is 260 km/h (162 mph). And who are we to argue, a basic understanding of Newtonian physics will tell you that seems reasonable.
