Fiat 126. I used to have one exactly like that. 2 cylinder, 650cc air cooled 76 BHP 4 speed RWD 70mph top spend 0 to 60 in about 2 minutes if you're lucky. Interesting is both pistons go up/down together with huge counter weight on the crank. Changing the clutch was a 45 minute job with 2 persons. I got pulled over for doing 70 in a 30 zone in the UK but the cops let me go with a caution due to they were laughing so much. I bored out the carb and had a K+N filter and a straight through muffler. Best part was you started the engine with a lever between the seats.

I saw this in the 80s first - never looked at that brake pedal the same way since. Enjoy the master's footwork

I had a nice talk with Erik Carlsson back in 1988 at the SAAB club national meet. Of course I asked him about his rally career & the subject of left foot braking came up. He said the original reason he did left foot braking was because his 2 stroke SAAB's had little power & no torque at low RPM. Lifting off the gas lost him all the power the motor had. Hence right foot down on the throttle & left foot for the brakes. He said that he then could also change the cars attitude with the brakes. He sure was a nice guy to spend time with me & reminisce about his old SAAB rally cars.

The only fast speed footage I can find of the rally last November. The mini is the last few seconds.
