Eat this, Ken Block! In today’s podcast, Lieberman and I were talking about the forthcoming Brabus tuned Smart car, and I mentioned having seen some vids of insane Hayabusa powered Smart cars. I appreciate that Hayabusa is the “go to” engine for making a total monster out of your light car, motorbike, ATV, Ariel Atom, or whatever else. This ain’t exactly brand new, but it’s still wickedly cool. Check the vid after the jump, and look closely at around 0:57 of the video for a snazzy trick.

I would really like to see some feasibility researche done into finding out if a ‘Busa Smart could be a viable day-driven car.
Off-topic: I was on the road and saw a Smart at a light and this jacked-up F-150 was right on top of the thing. I swear the person in the smart could see the fan-blades spinning in the rearview.
What an asshole.
YEAH! Portuguese pride!
That endo was just awesome.
But man, it gets me watching these and superbike events like this with the people standing right there in the open next to this stuff. It doesn’t take much for a slipup to happen and the vehicle to take out some folks.
Bluebrat: I thought the same thing. I suppose it’s just Darwinism at work. The smart people are standing waaaay back.
