SIRIO engines are used by champion drivers around the world and through consistently top results at the highest level have earned legendary status as the pre-eminent high-performance racing engine. The KYOSHO-SIRIO combination with the KYOSHO Inferno and EVOLVA are reigning world champions. Now, the world's greatest make of engine is loaded into the new KYOSHO Mini-Inferno 09. On behalf of Mini-Inferno 09 owners, we asked STAR MOTOR (the manufacturer of SIRIO engines) to open the book on the development of the SIRIO 09.

The name STAR MOTOR and SIRIO have become very famous around the world. Could you please tell us about this history?

STAR MOTOR :
From 2001, we combined the manufacturing talent of Lavorazioni Mechanic with the racing experience of G. Voghera and A. Rossi to start developing model racing engines. Our first plan was to develop racing engines for the R/C model car market and our first engine was released in June 2002 and this was also the beginning of SIRIO's racing activity. Since then we have worked with the KYOSHO team in 1/8 on-road and off-road racing categories, which has resulted in three consecutive world championship titles. This has highlighted SIRIO performance to the world and so increased SIRIO's brand profile. 		Web：
So your skills in developing racing engines would have been very useful in the development of the SIRIO 09 engine.

STAR MOTOR:
Before developing the SIRIO 09, we knew that we had to understand everything about the Mini-Inferno concept and we had to be aware of user expectations of SIRIO as a racing engine maker. Then we visualized how the Mini-Inferno would be used and scoped out an engine project to suit the objectives. Then we structured the technical direction of the project.
