I was talking with Ben Kemp at AF Rayspeed recently who told me about how Lambretta-Lutz in Germany were using one of their AF Python 8-Plate Cassette Clutches in a project that was achieving some incredible power.
Back in the 1960s, a Lambretta Li125 produced around 5.5hp. But now, thanks to many modifications by Lambretta-Lutz who started with a Li engine as a base for their twin-cylinder concept project, it now produces over 95hp (96.6ps!)!
The next step for Lambretta-Lutz is the magic 100, but for now check out their video below – and you can visit their website here.
I love the laughter once the peak power figure has sunk in!
