Many 600cc sportbikes produce over 100hp and 1000cc liter bikes develop over 150hp so there's no reason why we can't use a sophisticated motorcycle engine to power a smaller car. Powering a car with a motorcycle engine is a bit more complex than dropping a small-block Chevy into your old street machine. The one down-fall to using a motorcycle is that, most motorcycles do not have a reverse, which would make getting out of a parking spot a little tricky! Among some of the builders of motorcycle-cars is Suzuki and the Smartuki has now been built. It’s a GSX-R1000 powered Smart Car with 180hp, 0-60 in 4.2 sec. and 12.4 quarter miles. Do you think they will make us wear motorcycle helmets in these new cars?
