The more time you spend perusing custom builds, the clearer one thing becomes: If a vehicle exists, someone will inevitably stuff a Suzuki Hayabusa engine inside it. That’s exactly what’s happened with this unsuspecting Piaggio Ape, and.if you have to ask why anyone would do such a thing then you’ve already missed the point.
For those unfamiliar, the Piaggio Ape is a small, three-wheeled commercial vehicle that has been around since 1948. The Ape—which is Italian for bee, as in busy bee—has evolved and changed over time but is still an important part of daily life for commercial purposes in many Asian and European countries. In India, you can find diesel and compressed natural gas Apes available for sale in 2023. The Piaggio Porter NP6 (which has four wheels, not three) is the Ape’s less colorfully named descendant.
