Imagine a 1987 Fiat Uno, but with a Yamaha R1 engine, rear-wheel drive, butterfly gearbox, a 1000cc engine that spins at 14,000 RPM and 150hp.

Graduated in Mechanical Engineering, while still in college he won two titles in the Economics Marathon and built the Uno R1 with his own hands.

Despite the bad blow that destroyed the fork, the radiator and dented the exhaust manifold, the bike had everything Edson needed to carry out his project.

The car was chosen mainly for its low weight – exact 834kg measured on a scale by Edson himself in the 1.5R version and only 780kg in the current Mille version.
