GSXR Powered Smart Car pix and vid! (^_^)













Mike Garrett of Speedhunters.com: "A couple weeks ago, as I was walking around the Tokyo Special Import Car Show, I noticed that there was an unusually large crowd gathered around the booth a company called CRUIZE High Performance. I couldn't understand what could be so popular from a company that makes HID kits and other lighting accessories, but as I got a little closer, I saw what all the commotion was about.

Sitting in the middle of the CRUIZE booth, was a Smart Car outfitted with some aggressive fitting BBS LM wheels and some cool-looking aero parts. A look into the hatch revealed the real conversation piece of this car, a 1000cc engine from a Suzuki GSXR bike. This wasn't the first I've heard of a Gixxer-powered Smart, but the overall execution on this particular example made it look less like a homebuilt contraption and more like a genuine mini-supercar."

a remake of "el diablo" search youtube for other videos of it, this one was refinished much nicer, the other one didn't have a passenger seat, because the engine was right there next to the driver. also it was hayabusa engine...not sure if this one is also.

Dam! Those youtube videos of the diablo are sick! If I could find the shell of a smart car or a wrecked one I would put my GSXR motor in there in a heartbeat. Anyone know where I could get one for cheap?
