Smartuki Car - Smart Tuning to the Extreme

Here it is, the original GSXR 1000 bike engined Smartuki. This conversion was originally designed by Z-Cars who then sold the design and rights due to their workload on other projects.

Take one tiny little Smart car, remove the rather sad and under powered little engine and replace it with something more interesting from a high performance motorcycle and voila 160+ BHP, 12,500 RPM and a six speed sequential gearbox.

Whilst that may be a little over simplified, the conversion is a very professionally finished package capable of embarrassing cars costing ten times as much. Take a look at the pictures, they speak for themselves. The motorcycle engine is fitted into a custom sub-frame and occupies the original engine bay in the back of the car. Taking this route has maintained the car's interior comfort and practicality. Supercar performance with space for a passenger and shopping.

If that is not enough, the Suzuki GSXR is one of the worlds most popular tuned motorbikes. There is a huge catalogue of performance tuning parts available for anyone that needs that little bit more. Conventional tuning with ignition, cams, fuel injection mapping etc can increase the horsepower to over 190 BHP. Add a Turbo and or Nitrous (N20) kit and 300+ BHP is a realistic possibility. We are planning to build a nitrous enhanced Smart Roadster Coupe in the future and we’ll take it to the drag strip to show it off. Watch out for the video soon.
