Something you just have to see - a tuner group in Spain modified this Smart car and...well...see for yourself!

It also beats a Ferrari F430!

(P.S. If you think the race is faked, check out the youtube page here.)

Very cool.

But what I really want is for someone to develop some kind of car that will run on something, anything other than gasoline, that costs around 30 cents/gallon!

That would make me ecstatic!

Not quite sure; I'm not that knowledgeable on motorcycle engines, but I do know that this smart car was given a Suzuki GSX 1000-R Hayabusa motor mounted where the passenger seat was. If you google Hayabusa, you should be able to find the specs - all I know is that the 'busas are extremely fast bikes.
