Auto Fabrica started out with a stock R nineT Scrambler, then chopped and changed a few parts from other nineT models. The triples and upside-down forks come from an R nineT Roadster, while the rear set mounts and wheels came from an R nineT Racer.
The R nineT engine – 1,170 cc, air-cooled, producing 110 hp and 115 Nm of torque – is left mostly standard save for the addition of custom fabricated stainless steel exhaust pipes. With a heavy mix of traditional aluminium coachwork and 3D printing behind the elegant hand made pieces meant we could push our engineering, fit and finish and design to another level.
