What do you get when you combine Suzuki’s Hayabusa engine with a car? You will probably get one of these.

Let’s take a Smart car for example, gut out the sucker, take the engine compartment apart and then, just for kicks, install a Suzuki Hayabusa engine in it. Your result… One mind blowing Smart car! Can you imagine riding in this thing? I wonder how fast you can get your groceries?

Wait! There’s one more! What happens when you take just a regular first generation Volkswagen GTI and slap in a Hayabusa engine? You get this!

After looking at these clips it makes me wonder… Why would anyone want to do this?! It sounds completely insane to swap in a 1,340cc engine made for a street bike and put it into a car. Is it just a matter of time & money? Maybe it’s just the adrenaline rush? Or, is it the fact that you can beat Lambo’s and Ferrari’s with a VW Golf GTI or a Smart Fortwo?
