DM Performance took a closer look at the Renault Twizy and just had to get its hands on it. They found the conventional 17 hp electric motor severely inadequate. That’s why they decided to replace it with the full assembly of a Stark Varg electric dirt bike. This gives the little two-seater an impressive 80 horsepower and a whopping 692 pound-feet of torque, thanks to a unique chain drive system that replaces the usual setup.
The team at DM Performance realized that the previous differential wasn’t going to cut it with all that extra torque, so they rebuilt it with a stainless steel housing and lubricated it with some high-pressure grease to help it withstand the twist without blowing apart. They also chopped off the rear end to fit the new engine and chain drive, as well as some Maxpeedingrods coilovers to keep the Twizy on the road and prevent it from doing a funny somersault while turning aggressively. Then there is the battery change; the Stark Varg’s weighs just 70 pounds compared to the original 220 pounds, which is a significant weight savings, and it has a little more grunt too.

The underlying performance metrics reveal the rest of the story. This Twizy has beaten an Audi S1 Quattro to 100 mph, performed donuts and slides, and even circled a Lamborghini Aventador while burning the rear axle. Its rear-wheel drive architecture and fast electric drive make it want to slide in all directions, which is ideal for the kind of lateral activity this car is designed for. Not entirely unexpectedly, the Twizy was originally intended as a city crawler.[Source]
