Goggomobil Coupé vs. BMW Isetta Drag Race

[smartiesplace]

That race was EPIC! I love Isettas <3 And the Goggo is adorable too.

[AlfredvanKuik]

They should totally bring back the goggomobil! 1 cylinder goodness. Probably has great gas milage too :D

[AlfredvanKuik]

@AlfredvanKuik uh, wait, make that the isetta xD It's early :P

[bottomlayer]

[Motoxboxsleepin]

[sleepyboyproduction]

[a456987]

[alessandro78s4]

ahahahahahahahahahaha the best !!!!!!!!

[granskare]

I saw the Goggomobil Coupe parked at the small Turkish hotel in Istanbul we used every weekend in the late 1950s...and it had German number plates - that had to be a long drive !

[HubAndre]

@granskare That was almost certain Peter and Marlotte Backhaus' Goggo !! Was it just as mine red with a white top? They made with the Goggo coupé and Glas Goggomobil Isar 700 a trip around the world between 1957 and 1962. There's a book and film about it. Google their names and find out! Cheers, Andre.

[granskare]

@HubAndre amazing...it was red...this is cool!!! thanks :)

[thewelford]

Clash of the titans !

[joeymdorsey52185]

what are the helmets for???...lol

[wordreet]

The Goggo takes the win!! Must be the aerodynamics. ;-)

[hydrobot2003]

The only thing good about this race was the end when the flag was waved. ;-) ha!

[HubAndre]

@hydrobot2003 I disagree. The race itself was a thrill, just imagine 13 BHP pushing you into your seat LOL

[malcolmyoungrules]

What do these things run? Like 9 minute quarter miles? ;)

[hydrobot2003]

@malcolmyoungrules - LMAO!!!!!

[ramblergarage]

I couldnt see who won with all that smoke! LOL!

[boboblocks]

Looks like the Isetta accelerates a little faster but the other one is faster.

[HubAndre]

@boboblocks No! the Isetta cheated...look closely! The Isetta starts 1 sec. before the Goggo! :))

[Truemouse]

@HubAndre The Isetta takes off on the flag, the Goggomobil driver is a little slow to react, that's all.

[chdochido]

Too funny....But I'm an Isetta fan.

[DragonTamer2345]

Uh... slowest drag race ever? lol

[steamwally]

Brilliant! I can smell the 2 stroke from here....

[TechMaven]

My dad had a red Isetta when I was a kid..Wish I had it now, looks like fun!

[hydrobot2003]

@TechMaven - I think I found your dad's isetta here on youtube on storage wars. LOL! jk

[granskare]

cool, I saw a goggomobil just like that one,parked in front of our fav hotel in Istanbul, 1958!!! those were the days :)

[Abuyaga]

If you were driving that beautiful NSU Sport Prinz it would with them both!

[reuvenso]

You made me laugh.

[3500P5]

Superb! Very funny

[freaqydeaky]

[kn1ghtstemplar]

way to go! The Isetta was sold here in theUK with only one rear wheel so that it could be driven with only a motorcycle license.

[onlocash]

BMW baby!!!!

[ThePhiltastic]

[PAFAWAG1]

What's the title of this Judas Priest song?

Yeah, Goggo wins... :D

[liberalxinxamericax]

freewheel burning

[correamoon]

This was a little bit slower jaja, Fangio was the greatest driver ever in my opinion I admire him was incredible how he drove those old racers, thanks for the recomendation I will look for that book.

[correamoon]

I used to run a lot of classic car events, is very fun to run slalom races with the Isetta!!, the car is all original and I made several long trips, the longest one was from Uruguay to Chile crossing the Andes range mountains, was a 2.500 kms trip without problems!

[HubAndre]

This reminds me of the great story of Fangio crossing the Andes in his 1940 Chevrolet Coupé during the "Gran Premio Internacional Del Norte." You can read this story and many more in "Fangio the Maestro", dossier Michel Vaillant by Graton Editeur.

[correamoon]

Excelent cheers from Uruguay! I raced my Isetta several times against other cars in classic cars events but never got the chance to race against one with the same power, great and fun video!

[HubAndre]

Thanks very much :) , did you really race your Isetta? must have been quite a challenge....did you have a tuned engine in it or was it original?

[ladamurni]

Leip!

[mandynastart]

Excelente!!! saludos desde Argentina!

[HubAndre]

Thank you very much, and "our" Maxima says hello from a cold Holland. Maybe she likes Microcars too!

[askenazim]

bella gara e bella musica Judas priest!

translate

good race and good music,

un saluto dall'italia

[HubAndre]

Grazie mille!

Ciao,

Andre

[ottocars]

this is really great i think this is a first time test i love it and dont complain about the sound it matches.

[isettadnv]

It seems that in the long run the Goggomobil has a higher top speed, but the acceleration is pretty much the same.

Great video!!

[HubAndre]

Thanks!

[HubAndre]

Both cars have an impressive 13 bhp!
