Available from mid-2016 is the incredible new Casa Performance ‘CasaCase’. This engine casing allows the fitment of all manner of cylinders, from air-cooled to water-cooled. This engine casing is revolutionary in being extremely robust and has untold technical solutions. This engine casing has been developed by the guys at Rimini Lambretta Centre exclusively for the Casa Performance line. The idea was to make the casing as adaptable and affordable as possible. This is a mass-market solution rather than a high-end piece of exotica. We want to make the CasaCase the ONLY choice for Lambrettisti, both for the amazing technical advantages is has over all comparative products AND economically speaking. Some of the unique features of the CasaCase are that it is highly adaptable and can accept stock cylinders or be machined to suit a selection of outrageous large capacity 2-stroke cylinders including some forthcoming Casa Performance kits which are expected to make in excess of 55hp. The crank area castings are designed to split vertically in order to fit a crankshaft rather than loading via the mag housing orifice. Also, the CasaCase is designed around wider, larger diameter, longer-stroke crankshafts made by top Italian crankshaft specialists Primatist.

The crank for this engine will be 100mm diameter and 50mm across the big-end (instead of 40.5mm). There is a veritable range of cranks available with strokes ranging from 58mm up to 64mm stroke and a choice of 100mm or 120mm conrods. For those wishing to push things even further, there is enough meat in the casings to stroke out to 68mm - or even more if required. Other important features of the CasaCase casings are that they use a special slim drive-side bearing that maintains the con-rod axis in the standard position. This means that all current types of Lambretta performance exhaust can be used without modification. The castings for the engine mounts are MASSIVE and mentally strong. This was an important safety measure for us after the Casa Lambretta Racing Team’s riders snapped two standard casings during the European ESC race series and cracked another at Cadwell Park in 2015. One immediately obvious improvement over all other Lambretta casings on the market – standard or otherwise – is the massively-enlarged gasket face area allowing the fitment of anything from conventional Lambretta barrels to extreme exotica. Hence why we are confident in the boast that the CasaCases “have the largest gasket face of any Lambretta engine in the Universe.”
