Imagine taking Chevy's smallest car and giving it one of the most powerful engines they offer. That's exactly what Fourdin Auto Sport did with the Chevy Matiz (also known as the Spark). They managed to fit a massive 7.0L LS7 V8 engine, producing an impressive 550 horsepower, under the tiny hood.
This little beast can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds. For comparison, the Corvette Z06, a high-performance sports car, does 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The Matiz doesn't just borrow the Corvette's engine; it also adopts its advanced steering and brake systems, making it a true powerhouse on the road.
