Suzuki Hayabusa Powered Go-Kart and Smart Fortwo

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:

UNICAT: Land Yachts for Saudi Princes

UNICAT builds awesome RVs. I’ll let the pictures and the video do most of the talking, but just consider:

For $600,000 you get a badass exterior that makes you look like the Jawas from Star Wars, a queen-size bed, a working galley, and a bathroom inside the big box behind the cab, any number of terrain-appropriate extras like a dirt bike, to a quad, to a Zodiac inflatable boat. Since it’s classified as an RV, you don’t need a special license to drive the thing, either.
Check out the video after the jump.

They have a true GPS system too, not like those little Tom Tom’s in your company car, this is the stuff the government uses. Plus, it’s navigation system can also perform dead reckoning. That’s the cool part: Say you’re in a crazy world war with aliens and all the GPS satellites get destroyed or rendered unusable, well dead reckoning is the process of using your last known location together with your speed, direction (via compass), and elapsed time to calculate exactly where you are, no matter the state of the satellites. It’s good to know it’s there, in case of aliens.

Anyway, check out the unsettlingly good looking Veronica Belmont from Mahalo Daily inspecting one of the UNICAT RVs and talking to UNICAT CEO Avi Meyers. She can inspect my UNICAT anytime. I apologize, that was totally inappropriate. I’d like to Avi her Meyers. You know what I mean? Eh?
But seriously, I want to have sex with Veronica Belmont.
