The highlights: Suzuki GSX-R1000 motor with a reliable 180 hp, Cosworth differential, complete independent rear suspension, 13,000 rpms!

Now the "WOW": 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds and tops out at 132mph!!

I can't wait to see the first person to pull this off in the US!

The replaceable rear power module is really going to facilitate tuning on this vehicle. It really isn't hard to see how the power/weight ratio can easily be tweaked to get some truly awesome performance out of the SmartCar.

Can it be put in reverse? haha It would only be worth it if it can be put in reverse.

Try putting the engine from the toyota celica or the lotus 4 banger. Maybe the b16 or k20/k24. LET GET REAL FOLKS!!! Smart car with turboed 'busa would be comparable.

They use an electric motor similar to a starter motor for reverse. There are differentials with reverse also.

Smartuki has Reverse gear... This gearbox is why that smartuki kit is expensive - most of the cost lies in the quaife differential and reverse gear lets say its a bit over 4k alone... the gearbox is the same that is used in the Radical SR3
