YouTube - SmartHAYABUSA

Hayabusa power and some superstrong brakes (watch at 57 seconds in).

Pretty wild. Not sure how great a daily driver this would be, but just look at the fun to be had. Give me small, ultralight cars with stout, revvy, flexible engines -- efficient AND fun. I'd rather have the SMART Roadster chassis/body, however.

Bonus video: Track has pools of standing water on it, guy just backs the bike in to every corner, leans over hard, and accelerates explosively:

Wonder what kind of mileage it gets. Probably not much worse than the stock Smart, at least in U.S. trim.

The endo's were pretty sweet, but other than that, I think I'd have to go with a motorcycle, gives about the same crash safety levels as the smart car considering the number of large vehicles around here.
