Hayabusa-derived 2.8l V8

i would think you'd only rev it half way at the most, wear and tear up to 10,000rpms is alot. but if your buying it solely for racing, oh hell it would sound awesome.
 
I wonder what the rebuild time on it is.

The PowerTec Macroblock RPA-V8 is built off two bike motors too, and is supposed to go through 30 hours of racing between rebuilds.
 
I'd be happy to slap that in my little Daihatsu Cuore that I've bought to replace the Renault 5.
Weighting only 650kg with the original heavy 850cc iron motor...
Add suspension upgrades, normal '15 wheels...and woohoo.

Unfortunately Israeli law says "everything is illegal unless there's a law permitting" instead of the opposite.

Holy crap would that be a sleeper. Not since the SHOgun would a car that slow looking be that fast.

Yeah, it would be hilarious seeing some ugly/'cute' plastic heap that's only supposed to have 10 HP and get 900 MPG roasting the tires and smoking hopped up Mustang GTs and 350Zs lol.
 
Impressive for 180hp, but 13.4 for the F430 is an incredibly slow time, most magazines test around high 11, low 12s.

Nice! I loved the video of him "playing" with the Ford GT, over took him like it was nothing!

And I saw this on that site that made me drool a bit,

As of this writing, a Hartley V8 is being prepared for testing in an Ariel Atom chassis. At the same time the design work is progressing on developing a carbon chassis and an evolution of the proprietary AWD drivetrain for limited production.

I hope TopGear gets to drive that when it comes out.
