Oh... myyyy.... god!

The engine is a couple of hayabusas bolted together to make a v8 so i'm told. Probably the same engine used in the radical. Wonder what sort of power it's producing. Seems to have a couple of little traction issues :D

It's not two Busa engines 'bolted together' :/

It'll be a Powertec V8.

lol :p

i'm sure when i first read about it with regards the radical sr8, it was said that it was a devolopment of the busa engine. Maybe it just uses some of the interals, dunno. It is 2.6l which would make sense seeing as though the busa is 1.3

dunno, either way, it's still stupidly fast :D

Engine info there. Based upon the yamaha FZR1000 engine, which is very similar to the R1 engine. only 74kg! that's seriously tasty, 104lbs/ft at 1500rpm :D peaking at 190. Shame they are £17k lol

Could get the same kinda power easier..

For the weight, displacement and being naturally aspirated, it's extremely good. It is very compact and provides excellent torque.

Yes it is very expensive but it's an excellent engine imo.

What would you propose that would be as light and compact, giving 300bhp+ without resorting to forced induction?
 
The powertec v8 is based upon two hayabusa engines afaik and is around 360bhp in the radical sr8. and yes it is hugely expensive.

There's nothing wrong with forced induction. I'm just much more impressed with high power NA engine then i am with a turbo'd engine. Plus the added weight and bulk of turbo, manifold, intercooler and piping. I'm just not a fan of turbo power for light weight applications such as 7s. and i dont really like power delivery but that's just me.
 
you bought a clio 172 and then had traction control fitted? doesn't that sort of defeat the point? lol
