Photos – 1959 BMW Isetta Dragster with 730 hp

1959-BMW-Isetta-Dragster-2With three wheels, the small city car built by BMW back in the 1950s called the Isetta, was not made to be a performance vehicle. This Isetta Dragster however, is quite surprising. With a supercharged 502 cu. in. Chevrolet V8 engine on its back, it delivers a whopping 730 hp. Other features include a 2-speed manual transmission, a dual circuit disc brake system, and an AP balance bar for burnouts and donuts, BMW M3 suspension system, chromed five-spoke wheels, and B.F. Goodrich G-Force tires, single 18-inch racing wheel at the rear with a Sumitomo HTRZ II tire, BDS supercharger, twin Holley 750 CFM double pumper carburetors, and Zoomies exhaust headers that can shoot four feet long flames. The dragster measures 12 ft. 4 in. in length and it features a monster rear wing. It will be up for auction too.
