Quote:ItÔÇÖs called a ÔÇ£SmartukiÔÇØ, and itÔÇÖs the brainchild of Englishman Peter Bee who works for MHP exhaust. While smitten with the Smart car in its mild mannered state, Bee felt the urge to take it to the edge by having Z cars drop in the engine of a Suzuki GSXR1000 that had been tweaked to 180 hp, which equals nearly 120 more hp than a stock Smart car. The result is a microcar that gets to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and through the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 132 mph. Insanity ensues well before the carÔÇÖs 13,000 rpm redline. Read about the project here at The Kneeslider, a website thatÔÇÖs probably not used to reporting on things with four wheels.

Ah okay they are going to sell the forfour here. That is understandable, it is fairly average sized vehicle.

now that's a REAL hummer, but that's hilarious

these cars would be cool for city commuting, but i feel being hit by an suv or other big vehicle at a decent speed (40+mph) will end the lives the occupants of this car.
