Ultimate badassness!

[Bob Kazamakis]

So yesterday Hubbard 0 brought up the hartley v8. For those not familiar it is a custom 2.8l v8 using 2 hayabusa engines.

it's crazy badass.

Now this has been brought to my attention by another friend.

Enjoy!

That motor is bad ass!

 

[BillyBru]

so two hayabusas equal 400 mph right?
thats nasty though.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The 3.0L makes 500hp at 10,000rpms!

Cool dude. that driveline looks a little funky. belt driven? like an RC car? I dont think I'd wanna be sittin right next to that when one of those belts lets go.

still looks to be a crazy little car.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yea pretty much the same concept but it's chain. Looks like there's some safety pieces in place. Shaft driven would be better IMO.

yikes, just caught the price on one of those motors....

yikes, just caught the price on one of those motors....

$30k is alot?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

just a bit. It would be hard to beat the power to weight ratio and compactness of that motor though. Especially N/A

 

[Jean Ralphio]

oh my god

:eek4:

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I want to hear one wound up to 10k

 

[Mike K]

Places you don't want to be when the engine tosses a rod at 10k: driver's seat.

 

[SirMarco]

It looks like something a midget batman would drive.
Either way that thing is fucking sick.

There are videos on the h1v8 site.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yea on the left side says dyno video. I couldn't find any on YouTube except a startup vid.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

the video is kinda crappy. I was hoping to see it strapped on an engine dyno doing some singing

[LaneLander]

I want one of those for my DD.

 

[bluzohh6]

you want an engine in a box for your dd? The busa v8 has been out for quite some time now like 5+ years

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

But the DP4 was just finalized....
