FIAT CINQUECENTO TURBO PROMO

Here's a video I made a couple of years ago of my friend's Fiat Cinq Turbo. The engine was originally setup by Van Aaken and he found the modified engine in a Cinq on eBay. Alex bought the car, rebuilt the engine and then swapped his standard 1.1 for this Van Aaken replacement!
The original video we uploaded has about 30,000 views (as of March 2010), which is brilliant! However there were a few issues with the sound and visual quality - these were the days where there was confusion over what the best compression settings were to use for RUclips videos! So here's a better quality version!
This was the very first car promo I made, so its a little rough around the edges but I thought I would show it anyway! Shot on a Sony HVR-A1E, shots at the start were done on a Hague Handy Jib (bloody hard to get the hang of using!). I used a Sony 520line EX Bullet Camera, a Century 0.3x Ultra Fisheye for the in-car shots and the whole thing was edited on Final Cut Pro 5 with some Nattress filters.

Light,small and powerful for the size. On the right road and the right driver, this car can pose a treat to many.

Hi alex, i just recently acquired an omp front upper strut brace like the one you have. How did you manage to move the battery back to fit it? Or is it just a smaller battery?
