Video: The perfect hillclimb pocket rocket

28th February 2023
James King

Magical things happen when you put high-revving powerful engines in tiny cars. Clearly the coolest tiny car ever made is the Fiat 126 (in this writer's opinion). 

The thinking man’s Mini. Therefore, the best hillclimb car is this Fiat 126 Proto as you’ll see in this frantic video. The Italian countryside is the perfect setting to witness a buzzing hive of hornets launching this little classic through cone chicanes and tight hairpins as the ocean sinks into the background.

With an F1 sound and a classic F1 wing, this should get you in the mood for this weekend’s racing action.

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: Rallying a Mini Cooper is more violent than boxing
