Italy’s Lambretta scooter shows its neverending fascination and charm, and takes on a new look in this sports version from the guys at 100mph Lambretta Club. This scooter is small, but hard core!

The Lambretta prototype has been designed to become the fastest Lambretta around, capable of reaching a speed of 180 km/hr. It is an exercise in spot the original components, although the longer wheelbase, brakes and wheels have been maintained.
