Suzuki Hayabusa Powered Go-Kart and Smart Fortwo

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Driving a go-karts is some of the most fun you can have while looking like a 10 year old. You’re totally exposed and open, and low to the ground, so even the fairly modest speed that a 125cc engine gives you feels supersonic. So I can only image what it’s like to swap out the regular kart motor with a 1300cc Suzuki Hayabusa powerplant. Powerslides and burnouts and, of course, freaky speed. Here’s the builder’s blog.

Check out videos of the go-kart in action after the jump.

Also after the jump, a Smart Fortwo with a Hayabusa engine video. Normally Smart cars have a 3 cylinder engine with less than 1000ccs. Mating it with the 1300cc ‘Busa high quality engine is pure genius. Check it:

HKS Hyundai Genesis Coupe Tuner Car

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Hyundai has a lot of people are excited about their new Genesis Coupe, and they’re looking to double the excitement next month at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Hyundai execs are working with several aftermarket tuners to create special coupes for the tuner show and they just realease a photo of one of them. This example was created by HKS USA and includes body work mods along with a lot of mechanical upgrades.

Hyundai hasn’t provided details on the engine re-work yet other than noting it’s got an HKS GT Turbo package. Since the guts of the engine are being beefed up, we can safely assume this thing will be running considerably higher boost than a stock Genesis.

With the Genesis, Hyundai is proving it can play with the big boys. Lexus should be worried, really.
